H7 halogen headlamps
In vehicles with halogen lights, the low beam function
is an advanced projection system in contrast to the
predecessor model series. For the high beam function
and for the standing and parking lights, the reflection
system continues to be used in the halogen variant.
Daytime running lights
A new feature is the combination of halogen head-
lamps with daytime running lights positioned on the
outside of the bumper beside the front fog lamps. The
daytime running lights increase the visibility of moving
vehicles and therefore improve safety on the road.
The daytime running lights are fitted with special bulbs
that are designed to last as long as the entire life of the
vehicle. Compared with driving in daylight with the low
beams lit, the daytime running lights consume signifi-
cantly less power and, thanks to their specially aligned
illumination, are much easier to see.
Vehicles with bi-xenon headlamps or with the optional
light packages with codes (608) and (P35) are
equipped with LED-type daytime running lights and
the front fog lamps in the bumper are not installed.
LED headlamps consume less power than light bulbs
and constitute an additional styling element at the
front of the car.
