The lights work only with the ignition on, unless otherwise stated.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 28 on page 48. The symbols which mark the switch
positions are identical.
The low beam continues to shine while the ignition is switched on and the light
switch is in the position  or . After switching off the ignition, the low beam
is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on. The side light goes
out after the ignition key is removed.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 185, Headlight lenses.
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
48
recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!

50 If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.
■
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
51 ■
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the
52
headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has no
52
influence on the life of the lighting system.

The instruments are also illuminated when the side light, low or high beam light
■
53
is switched on. The brightness of the instrument lighting can be activated/deacti-
53
vated in the Infotainment »
54
ting vehicle systems (CAR button).
