Lights and vision
Avoid using the side lights for long periods
(several hours). If possible, switch the left
or right parking Lights on.
Observe all relevant statutory requirements
when using the lighting systems described
here.
- The light sensor for the automatic

- Depending on the export market, the rear
lights on some vehicles may be switched on
together with the headlights when the
day
time running lights* are activated. On other
vehicles, the rear lights remain off.
-In cool
or
damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals or rear lights can
sometimes mist up, due to the temperature
difference between the interior and exterior
of the car. They should clear again partially
or completely soon after you switch on the
headlights. This phenomenon has no
influ
ence on the life expectancy of the vehicle
lights.
