WARNING
The car's audio system is not able to deter- mine when daylight is too weak or sufficientlystrong, e.g. in fog and rain, in all situations. The driver is always responsible for ensuring that the car is driven with a beam pattern suit-able for the traffic situation and in accordancewith applicable traffic regulations.
Thumbwheel in the instrument panel
Thumbwheel for adjusting interior brightness
Thumbwheel for headlamp levelling
A car with LED 21
headlamps * has automatic
headlamp levelling and therefore does not have the thumbwheel for headlamp levelling.
Adjusting the interior brightness
The lamps inside the car come on differently depending on the ignition position used. The thumbwheel adjusts the brightness of display lighting, control lighting, ambient light and ambi- ence light *.
Headlamp levelling
The load in the car changes the vertical align- ment of the headlamp beam, which could dazzleoncoming motorists. Avoid this by adjusting theheight of the beam. Lower the beam if the car isheavily laden. For different load cases and settings, see the section "Headlamp levelling".

Headlamp levelling
Headlamp levelling 22
is adjusted using one of
the thumbwheels in the instrument panel.
1. Leave the engine running, or have the car's
electrical system in ignition position I.
2. Roll the thumbwheel up/down to raise/lower beam alignment.
The position in which the thumbwheel should be set for a number of load cases is shown below.

Position lamps
The position lamps are switched on with the rotating ring on the stalk switch.
Stalk switch rotating ring in position lamps position.
Turn the rotating ring to the position - the
position lamps are switched on (number plate lighting is switched on at the same time). If the car's electrical system is in ignition position II or the car is running then the daytime running
lights are switched on instead of the front posi-tion lamps. However, this does not apply at sta-
tionary when the car is running, if the rotating
ring is moved to position
from another
position . In this case, the position lamps are
switched on. If the tailgate is opened when it is dark outside, the rear position lamps come on (if not alreadyswitched on) to warn road users approaching from behind. This takes place irrespective of theposition of the rotating ring or the ignition posi-tion of the car's electrical system. When driving for more than 30 seconds at max. 10 km/h (approx. 6 mph), or if the speedexceeds 10 km/h (approx. 6 mph), the daytimerunning lights are switched on. The driver should turn to a position other than

when the car's electrical system is in igni-
tion position II or when the car is running.
Tunnel detection
The car detects when it is driven into a tunnel and switches from daytime running lights todipped beam. Note that the rotating ring in the left-hand stalk switch must be in
mode for tunnel detec-
tion to work.

Position for main beam
Main beam flashMove the stalk switch backwards slightly to main beam flash position. Main beam comes on untilthe stalk switch is released.
Main beamMain beam can be activated when the steeringwheel stalk switch's rotating ring is in position
23
or . Activate main beam by moving
the stalk switch forwards. Deactivate by moving the stalk switch backwards. When main beam has been activated the
symbol illuminates in the driver display.
Active main beamActive main beam is a function which uses a camera sensor at the top edge of the windscreento detect the headlamp beams from oncomingtraffic or the rear lights of vehicles in front, andthen switches from main beam to dipped beam.The function can also take streetlights intoaccount. Main beam is reactivated when the camera sen- sor no longer sees any oncoming vehicles orvehicles ahead.
Car with halogen headlamps
The lighting returns to main beam about a sec- ond after the camera sensor no longer detectsthe headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or therear lights from vehicles in front.

Active bending lights *
Active bending lights are designed to provide maximum illumination in bends and junctions. Cars with LED 26
headlamps * can have active
bending lights, depending on the car's equip- ment level.
Headlamp pattern with function deactivated (left) and activated (right) respectively.
The LED headlamps can include the Active bend- ing lights function, depending on the car's equip-ment level. Active bending lights follow steeringwheel movements to provide maximum illumina-tion in bends and junctions and thereby increasesafety. The function is activated automatically when the car is started. In the event of a fault in the func- tion, the
symbol illuminates in the driver
display at the same time as the driver display shows an explanatory text. The function is only active in weak daylight or darkness and only when the car is moving anddipped beam is switched on.
Deactivating/activating the functionThe function is in activated mode when the car isdelivered from the factory and can be deacti-vated/activated via the centre display in twoways:

Adapting the beam pattern from the headlamps
If the car is equipped with LED headlamps with adaptive functionality, then the headlamp patternshould be reset when changing from right to left-hand traffic, and vice versa.
Halogen headlampsThe headlamp pattern does not need to be adjusted. The headlamp pattern is designed insuch a way that oncoming traffic is not dazzled.
LED headlamps *The headlamp pattern should be adjusted if theactive main beam has adaptive functionality; seethe section "Activating/deactivating main beam".The car must remain stationary and be runningwhen the headlamp pattern is changed betweenright and left-hand traffic. 1.

Cornering lightsThe front fog lamps include the cornering lights function, which temporarily illuminates the areadiagonally in front of the car in the direction thesteering wheel is turned on a sharp bend, or inthe direction shown by the direction indicators. The function is activated in weak daylight or dark- ness when the stalk switch's rotating ring is in the
or position and the speed of the
car is lower than approx. 30 km/h (20 mph). In addition, both cornering lights are switched on as a supplement to the reversing lamp duringreversing. The function is activated when the car is supplied from the factory and can be deactivated/acti-vated via the centre display.
