Rear lamps
The rear lamps overlap the corners of the vehicle rear
in three segments arranged one above the other:
• The brake light and taillight are installed behind the
upper red covering lens.
• In the middle, behind the white lens, is the turn
signal with the backup lamp positioned
underneath.
• The taillight / rear fog light is located behind the
lower red lens along with a side marker lamp.
• The center high-mounted brake lamp, which uses
LEDs, is located inside the rear window at the top.

When the taillights are operating, the two red areas
(top and bottom) are illuminated all the way into the
inside corners. This improves the visibility and thus
the safety of the vehicle at night, as well as high-
lighting the shape of the rear lamps.
Rear lamps with LED turn signals and LED backup
lamps are installed in combination with bi-xenon head-
lamps.
