Automatic headlamp control*
When the switch is in position 1, the low beams
are switched on and off automatically depend-
ing on ambient light conditions, e.g. in a tunnel,
in twilight, rain or snow. The LED next to the
symbol is illuminated when the low beams are
on.
You can leave the switch in position 1 when you
switch off the engine. Once you open the
driver's door while the ignition is switched off,
the outside lamps automatically go out.
The low beams remain switched on inde-
pendent of the ambient lighting condi-
tions when you switch on the fog lamps
The automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal
judgment in determining when the lamps
should be switched on in response to ambient
lighting conditions. For example, the system
cannot detect fog. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lamps manually
under these conditions.<
