Automatic driving lights con-
trol
Principle
Depending on ambient brightness, the sys-
tem switches the low-beam headlights on or
off automatically, for example in a tunnel, at
twilight and in rain or snow.
General
The headlights may also come on when the
sun is sitting low in a blue sky.
Activating
Switch position:
The indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
is illuminated when the low-beam head-
lights are switched on.
System limits
The automatic driving lights control is no
substitute for using your own judgement to
assess the light conditions.
The sensors are unable, for instance, to rec-
ognise fog or hazy weather. In such situa-
tions, switch on the lights manually to avoid
any safety risk.
Daytime driving lights
General
Switch position:
The daytime driving lights illuminate when
the ignition is switched on.
Activating/deactivating
In some countries daytime driving lights
are compulsory, in which case the daytime
driving lights cannot be deactivated.

cally depending on the steering angle or use
of the turn indicators.

Principle
The variable light distribution enables even
better illumination of the carriageway.
General
The light distribution is automatically adap-
ted to the speed.

Variable light distribution is active when
the ignition is switched on.
