Daytime running lights - DRL*
To save fuel, daytime running lights (Daytime
Running Light) can be selected during the day
instead of the more energy-intensive dipped

Daytime running lights during

position lamps in poor light con-

activated.
If the car is equipped with active
Xenon headlamps (Active

function is also activated.
With the light switch in position A, the daytime
running lights are activated automatically dur-
ing the day. This is regulated by a light sensor
which switches from daytime running lights to
dipped beam off the main headlamps at dusk
or when the daylight becomes too weak.
