Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

sitions are identical.

WARNING
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
■
national legal requirements.
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
■
lights.
The automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and does
■
not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the given light conditions. The light
sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we
52
recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!

If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.

■
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the
56
headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has no
56
influence on the life of the lighting system.

The instruments are also illuminated when the side light, low or high beam light

is switched on. The brightness of the instrument lighting can be activated/deacti-
