Key positions - functions at different levels
In order to enable the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, thecar's electrical system can be set in 3 differ-ent levels (key positions) - 0, I and II - with the
remote control key. Throughout this owner'smanual these levels are described using thedenomination "key positions". The following table shows the functions avail- able in each key position/level.

Instrument lightingDifferent display and instrument lighting isswitched on depending on key position; seeKey positions - functions at different levels (p.70). The display lighting is automatically subdued in darkness - the sensitivity is set with thethumbwheel. The intensity of the instrument lighting is adjusted with the thumbwheel.
Headlamp levellingThe load in the car changes the vertical align-ment of the headlamp beam, which coulddazzle oncoming motorists. Avoid this byadjusting the height of the beam. Lower thebeam if the car is heavily laden. 1. Leave the engine running, or have the
car's electrical system in key position I.
2. Roll the thumbwheel up/down to raise/ lower beam alignment.

DRL
Knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.
With the knob for headlamp control in

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.
