Lights and Vision


— High beam assistant is only intended to as-
sist the driver. The driver is still responsible
for controlling the headlights and may need
to switch them on and off manually depend-
ing on light and visibility conditions.
— High beams can cause glare for other driv-
ers, which increases the risk of an accident.
For this reason, only use the high beams or
the headlight flasher when they will not cre-
ate glare for other drivers.
@ Tips
Certain settings are automatically stored and
assigned to the active user.
Adjusting the exterior lighting
You can adjust the exterior lighting separately.
The settings depend on the vehicle equipment.


» Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen:
VEHICLE > Light & Visibility > Exterior light-
ing.
Automatic headlights

matic
headlights menu:
Activation time - You can adjust if the headlights
switch on Early, Medium, or Late based on the
sensitivity of the light sensor.

ers aware of your vehicle in dangerous situations.

flashers on or off.
When the emergency flashers are turned on, the
a and B indicator lights will flash at the same
time.

turn signal lever. The emergency flashers stop
temporarily.

tion is turned off.

all other vehicles approaching from behind
can see your vehicle
— your vehicle has broken down or you are
having an emergency
— your vehicle is being towed or if you are tow-
ing another vehicle
If the 2] indicator light turns on, a bulb has
