Operating instructions
– Press the knob in again to prevent the setting from being
changed unintentionally.
The coming home and leaving home functions are controlled by light sensors
in the rear view mirror housing. The system will function when the following
requirements are met:
•
The knob is set to position 1.
•
The headlights and the ignition are switched off.
•
Dark conditions; the sensors register little or no light.
Coming home
When the system is enabled and it is dark, the corresponding exterior lights
switch on as soon as the driver's door is opened.
The exterior lights will stay on for up to a maximum of 2 minutes as long as
one of the doors or the tailgate is open.
The exterior lights stay on for about 30 seconds to light up the area in front of
the car after all the doors and the tailgate have been closed.
This time interval is factory-set, but you can have it changed by a specialist
garage to suit your own requirements (max. setting is 60 seconds).
Leaving home
The exterior lights are switched on when the vehicle is unlocked with the
button on the remote control key.
The exterior lights go out when the driver's door is opened or after 60
seconds when the vehicle locks itself again automatically ⇒ page 102.
WARNING
Before leaving the vehicle, remove the key from the ignition, as the lights
will not go out if the coming home is enabled. This will lead to battery
discharge and vehicle breakdown.
