If the side lights are switched on, both headlights light up with the side lights, parts of the tail
light clusters, the number plate lighting and the buttons in the centre console and the dash panel.
The daytime running lights also switch on when the ignition is switched on.

light on both sides of the vehicle switches on automatically after around 10 minutes to reduce 12-
volt vehicle battery discharge ⇒ Switching the parking lights on and off .
Automatic headlights
If the automatic headlights are switched on, the vehicle lighting and the instrument and
switch lighting will switch on and off according to the light conditions. When the lights are switched
on, the indicator lamp lights up yellow.

Switching main beam on and off

Fig. 80 On the left of the steering column: turn signal and main beam lever.
Switch on the ignition and dipped beam.
Move the turn signal and main beam lever from the centre position to the following position:

Main-beam control
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, advanced main-beam control may also be available
⇒ Main-beam control .

WARNING
Incorrect use of the main beam headlights can lead to accidents and serious injuries as the main
beam headlights could distract and dazzle other road users.
Main-beam control
The main-beam control automatically dips the headlights when oncoming vehicles and/or vehicles
driving in front are detected. Main-beam control also recognises illuminated areas such as towns
and deactivates the main beam while driving through them.
Within the limits of the system, main-beam control automatically switches main beam on at speeds
of over approximately 60 km/h (37 mph), depending on ambient and traffic conditions, and switches
it off again at speeds under approximately 30 km/h (18 mph) ⇒ .
With some equipment levels, the main-beam control can be activated and deactivated in the
Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Infotainment system controls and displays .
Switching on main-beam control

Switch on the ignition and the automatic headlights .
Tap the turn signal and main beam lever forwards from the basic position.
When main-beam control is switched on, the indicator lamp lights up in the instrument cluster
display.
Switching off main-beam control
Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever.
OR: switch off the automatic headlights .
OR: switch off the ignition.
OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
System limits
The main beam must be manually switched off under the following conditions, as it is not switched
off by the main-beam control in time or at all:
In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
In tight bends, with half-hidden oncoming traffic, on steep crests or in dips.
With oncoming traffic on roads with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the
central barrier e.g. truck drivers.
In fog, snow or heavy rain.
In conditions with swirled-up dust and sand.
If the windscreen is damaged in the camera's field of vision.
If the camera's field of vision is covered by condensation, dirt, a sticker, or by snow or ice.
If the camera is faulty or the power supply is interrupted.

WARNING
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main-beam control tempt you into taking any risks
when driving. The system is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver.
Always check the vehicle lights yourself and adapt them to the prevailing conditions for light,
visibility and road traffic.
The main-beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and may not
work properly in certain situations.
If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main-beam control
may be impaired. This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's lighting system, for example
if additional headlights are fitted.

Switch off the ignition.
Lock the vehicle from the outside.
Automatic switch-off of side lights and parking lights
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the side lights or parking light to remain switched on for
two hours, the 12-volt vehicle battery can be discharged to such an extent that it is no longer
possible to start the engine ⇒ .
In the case of standing times of more than two hours, the vehicle will detect a weak 12-volt vehicle
battery and switch off the side lights or parking light so that the engine can still be started.

WARNING
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the vehicle is parked without sufficient illumination, as
other road users might have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see it at all.
Always park the vehicle safely and with sufficient lighting. Observe any applicable local regulations.
If the vehicle lighting is required for several hours, switch on the right or left parking light if possible.
The illumination time of the parking light on one side is generally twice as long as for continuous
parking light on both sides of the vehicle.

vehicle when you get in or out of the vehicle in darkness.
Not in China: the Coming Home function is switched on manually. In contrast, the Leaving
