lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.
If a trailer turn signal malfunctions, the
●
control lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will
flash at double speed.
The main beam headlights can only be
●
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
In cold or damp weather conditions, the
●
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal
and in no way effects the useful life of the
vehicle lighting system.
The parking light does not activate auto-
●
matically if the left- or right-hand turn sig-
nal is left on and the ignition is disconnec-
ted.

Main beam assist (Light Assist)*

The main beam assist acts within the limits of
the system and depending on environmental
and traffic conditions. Once switched on, the
system is activated as of a speed of about 60
km/h (37 mph) and is deactivated below
›››
about 30 km/h (18 mph) .
When the system is activated and the cam-
era detects other vehicles that may be daz-
zled, the main beam is automatically switch-
ed off. Otherwise, the main beam is automati-
cally switched on.
