WARNING
- Never use daytime running lights to see
where you are going. They are not bright
enough and will not let you see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at
dusk or when it is dark . Be aware of
changes in outside light conditions when
you are driving and respond by switching
on your low beams.
- Automatic head- and taillight control is
only intended to assist the driver. This
feature does not relieve the driver of his
responsibility to check the headlights
and to turn them on manually according
to the current light and visibility condi-
tions. For example, fog and rain cannot
be detected by the light sensors. Conse-
quently, always switch the headlights on
under these weather conditions and
when driving in the dark.
- Crashes can happen when you cannot see
the road ahead and when you cannot be
seen by other motorists .
-Always turn on the headlights so that
you can see ahead and so that others can
see your car from the back.
- Please observe legal regulations when
using the light ing systems described.

Tips
- Always observe the specific local regula-
tions for your area when to use your
lights .
- Turn on low beams as evening ap-
proaches or in conditions of poor visibili-
ty.
Clear vision

- Do not attach stickers to the windshield
in front of the sensors as this can disable
the automatic head- and taillight control
and the automatic glare-dimming of the
rearview mirror(s)*.
- If you remove the ignition from the igni-
tion lock while the headlights are still
on, a buzzer will sound as long as the
driver's door is open to remind you to
turn off the lights .
- In the AUTO mode, the low beams are
turned off when the ignition is turned
off. The remaining lights are turned off
when the key is taken out of the ignition .
- In cool or damp weather conditions the
headlights may fog over temporarily on
the inside.
- The critical factor is the temperature
difference between the interior and the
exterior of the headlight Lens.
- With the main beams switched on, the
light-emitting
area will be free of con-
densation after a short time, however
the edges of the glass may still be fog -
ged.
- This physical phenomenon has no ef-
fect on the life of your vehicle's light-
ing system .
