WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot determine in all situations when daylight istoo weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mistand rain. The driver is always responsible for ensur- ing that the car is driven with its lights in acorrect state and in accordance with appli-cable traffic regulations.
Tunnel detection*
In markets without automatic dipped beam, tunnel detection activates dipped beam whendriving into a tunnel. Dipped beam is deacti-vated approx. 20 seconds after the car hasbeen driven out of the tunnel. The tunnel detection function is available in cars with rain sensor*. The sensor detects theentrance to a tunnel and resets the lightingfrom daytime running lights to dipped beam.Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left thetunnel, the lighting returns to daytime runninglights. If the car is driven into another tunnelwithin this time period then dipped beam iskept switched on. This avoids repeatedchanges to the car's light settings. Note that the headlamp control's knob must remain in
position for tunnel detection
to work.

these messages are shown. AHB may be temporarily unavailable e.g. in situations with dense fog or heavy rain. WhenAHB becomes available again, or the wind-screen sensors are no longer blocked, the message extinguishes and the

illuminates.
WARNING
AHB is an aid for using optimum light composition when conditions are favoura-ble. The driver always bears responsibility for manually switching between main anddipped beam when traffic situations orweather conditions so require.
IMPORTANT
Examples of when manual switching between main and dipped beam may berequired:
• In heavy rain or dense fog
• In freezing rain
• In snow flurries or slush
• In moonlight
• When driving in poorly lit built-up areas
• When the traffic ahead has weak light-ing
• If there are pedestrians on or besidethe road
• If there are highly reflective objectssuch as signs in the vicinity of the road
• When the lighting from oncoming traf-fic is obscured by e.g. a crash barrier
• When there is traffic on connectingroads
• On the brow of a hill or in a hollow
• In sharp bends.

Active Xenon headlamps*
Active Xenon headlamps are designed to pro- vide maximum illumination in bends and junc-tions and so provide increased safety.
Active Xenon headlamps ABL
Headlamp pattern with function deactivated (left) and activated (right) respectively.
If the car is equipped with active Xenon head- lamps (Active Bending Lights – ABL) the lightfrom the headlamps follows the steeringwheel movement in order to provide maxi-mum lighting in bends and junctions and soprovide increased safety. The function is activated automatically when the car is started (provided that it has notbeen deactivated in the menu systemMY CAR), see MY CAR (p. 103). In the event of a fault in the function the

Closing of the windows is stopped and the window is opened if anything prevents its movement. It is possible to override the pinchprotection when closing has been interrupted,e.g. if there is ice forming. After two succes-sive closing interruptions the pinch protectionwill be forced and the automatic functiondeactivated for a short while, now it is possi-ble to close by continually holding the buttonpulled up.
NOTE
One way to reduce the pulsating wind noise when the rear windows are open isto also open the front windows slightly.
Operating without autoMove one of the controls up/down gently. The power windows move up/down as longas the control is held in position.
Operating with autoMove one of the controls up/down to the endposition and release it. The window runsautomatically to its end position.
Operating with the remote control key and central locking
To remotely operate the power windows from the outside with the remote control key orfrom inside with central locking, see Remotecontrol key with key blade (p. 149) and Lock-ing/unlocking - from the inside (p. 165).
