Functions of the lights
Position light

two headlamps with the position light, parts of
the rear light cluster, the number plate
illumination and the buttons on the centre
console and the buttons on the instrument
panel are switched on.

With the automatic driving light control in
operation, the low beam headlamps and
headlamps are switched on automatically when

outside the vehicle is dimly lit, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel during the day or after dark.
When the vehicle is driving in bright sunlight,
with the light switch in the position , the low beam
and headlamps are automatically switched on by
the power unit. And the daytime running light
will be switched on.
Cornering light
The cornering light comes on automatically
during slow turns or tight bends. The
cornering light is integrated into the fog lamp
and is only switched on at low speeds of
approx. 40 km/h.
When reverse gear is engaged, the turn signal
can be switched on on both sides of the vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
