WARNING
- Never use daytime running lights to see
where you are going. They are not bright
enough and w ill not let you see far enough
ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when
it is dark . Be aware of changes in outside
light cond itions when you are dr iving and re·
spond by switching on your low beams.
- Automatic head· and taillight control is only
intended to assist the driver. This feature
does not relieve the driver of his responsibi l-
ity t o check t he headlights and to turn t hem
on manually according to the cur rent lig ht
and visibility conditions. For example, fog
and rain cannot be detected by the light
sensors. Consequent ly, always switch the
headlights on under these weather cond i·
tions and when dr iving in the dark.
- Crashes can happen when yo u cannot see
the road ahead and when you cannot be
seen by other motorists.
- Always turn on the headlights so that you
can see ahead and so that others can see
your car from the back.
- Please observe legal regulations when using
the light ing systems described .

Tips
- Always observe the specific local regulations
for your area when to use your lights.
- Turn on low beams as evening approaches
or in conditions of poor visib ili ty.
- Do not attach stickers to the windshie ld in
front of the sensors as this can disab le the
automat ic head- and taill ight control and
the automatic glare-dimming of the rear·
view mirror(s) *.
- If you remove the ignit ion from the ign it ion
lock while the headlights are still on, a buz-
zer w il l sound as long as the dr iver's door is
open to remind you to t urn off the lights .
- In the AUTO mode, the low beams are
turned off when the ignition is t urned off.
The remaining lights are turned off when
t he key is t aken out of the ignition.
Cle a r vi sion
- In cool or damp weather conditions the
headlights may fog over temporarily on the
inside .
- The critical factor is the temperature dif-
ference between the inter ior and the exte·
rior of the headli ght lens.
- W ith the mai n beams switched on, the
lig ht-em itting area w ill be free of conden-
sation after a short time, however the
edges of t he glass may still be fogged.
- This physical phenomeno n has no effect
on t he life of your vehicle's lighti ng sys-
tem .
