Note

In vehicles with separate lights for daylight driving lights (in the bumper below
the main headlights) these lights also serve as side lights.

An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.

The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.

If the car is parked for a lengthy period, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the parking lights switched on.

The switching on of the described lights should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.

In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
up from inside.
 The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head-
light lenses is decisive.
 When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free
from mist after a short period. The headlight lenses can possibly mist up at the
border areas.
 It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights.
 This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
