Lighting ring in the parking light position.
Turn the lighting ring to the position to
turn on the parking lights (the license plate light- ing will also illuminate). Canadian models: If the ignition is in the II posi-
tion or the engine is running, the daytime running lights will illuminate instead of the front parkinglights. With the lighting ring in this position, theparking lights will remain on regardless of whatposition the ignition is in. US models: When
mode is selected, the
daytime running lights can be deactivated in the center display. The parking lights will also be deactivated. In weak daylight or dark conditions,the parking lights and low beams will be illumi-nated. In dark conditions, the rear parking lights also illuminate when the trunk lid is opened to alertfollowing traffic. This happens regardless of whatposition the lighting ring or ignition is in.

Active high beam
Active high beams is a function that uses cam- era sensors in the upper edge of the windshieldto detect the headlights of approaching vehiclesor the taillights of the vehicle directly ahead.When either of these is detected, the vehicle'sheadlights will automatically switch from highbeams to low beams.
Active high beam is enabled by moving the lighting ring on the steering wheel lever to
.
The function can also detect street lighting. When the camera sensor no longer detects anapproaching vehicle or a vehicle ahead, the head-lights will return to high beams. This function can be used in dark conditionswhen the vehicle's speed is approx. 20 km/h(approx. 12 mph) or higher. If active high beams are deactivated when the high beams are on, the headlights will automati-cally switch to low beams. When active high beams are activated, a white
symbol will be displayed in the instrument
panel. When high beams are on, the symbol will be blue. For LED headlights, this applies even if the highbeams are partially dimmed, i.e. if the headlightsare illuminated with slightly more than low beams.
Vehicles with halogen headlights
When the camera sensor no longer detects the headlights of approaching vehicles or the tail-lights of a vehicle ahead, the headlights willreturn to high beams after a second or so.
Vehicles with LED3 headlights *
If the active high beams are equipped with the auto on/off function 4
, the headlights will return to
high beams a second or so after the camera sen- sor no longer detects the headlights of approach-ing vehicles or the taillights of a vehicle ahead.
Limitations for active high beams
The camera sensor on which the function is based has limitations. If this symbol and the message
Active
High Beam Temporarily
unavailable is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, switching between high
and low beams must be done manually. The light- ing ring on the steering wheel lever can remain in the
position. The symbol will go out
when the message is displayed.
The same applies if this symbol along with the message Windscreen
sensor Sensor blocked, see
Owner's manual is displayed.
Active high beams may be temporarily unavailable in certain situations, e.g. heavy fog or rain. Whenactive high beams become available again, or thewindshield sensors are no longer blocked, the message will disappear and the
symbol will
be displayed.
WARNING
Automatic high beam is an aid in using the best possible light based on prevailing condi-tions. The driver is always responsible for manually switching between high and low beam whentraffic situations or weather conditions requirethis.

Adjusting the rearview mirrordimming function
Bright light entering the vehicle from behind, e.g. from the headlights of following vehicles, couldreflect in the rearview mirror and door mirrorsand cause a glare. Use the dimming functionwhen light from behind is distracting.
Auto-dimIf bright light enters the vehicle from behind, the door mirrors will automatically dim. Auto-dim isalways active when the engine is running, exceptwhen reverse gear is engaged.
NOTE
When the level of sensitivity is changed, this change will not be noticeable immediately butwill instead take effect after a short period oftime.
The sensitivity level for dimming will affect both the rearview mirror and door mirrors. 1. Tap
Settings in the Top view in the center
display.
2. Tap

3. Under
Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming,
select Normal, Dark or Light.
The rearview mirror instead has two sensors - one pointing forward and one pointing rearward -which work together to identify and eliminate glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitorsambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensormonitors light from the headlights of followingvehicles. For the door mirrors to be equipped with auto- dim, the rearview mirror must also be equippedwith auto-dim.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade or objects onthe seats or parcel shelf in a way that pre-vents light from reaching the sensors, theauto-dim function in the rearview and doormirrors will be reduced.
