Parking lamps/Low beams
Parking lamps
With the switch in this position,
the front, rear and side vehicle
lighting comes on. You can use
the parking lamps for parking. For
lighting on one side for parking as an
additional feature, refer to page 86.
Low beams
When you switch the ignition off
with the low beam headlamps
on, only the parking lamps will
remain on.
"Follow me home" lamps:
ou activate the headlamp
When y
flasher after parking the vehicle and
switching off the lights, the low beams
will come on for a brief period. You may
also have this function deactivated if
you
wish.<
"LIGHTS ON" warning
Whenever you open the driver's door,
after having turned the ignition key to
position 0, you will hear an acoustic
signal for a few seconds to remind you
that the lamps have not been switched
off.
*
Daytime driving lamps
The headlamps are automatically
switched on for daytime driving at
ignition key position 2.
Automatic headlight control
When the switch is set to this
position the system automati-
cally switches the low beams on
and off in response to changes in
ambient light (in tunnels, at dusk, etc.)
as well as rain and snow.
The vehicle's external lamps
remain on constantly when you
switch on the front fog lamps after the
headlamps have come on automati-
cally.<
Automatic headlight control
cannot serve as a substitute for
the personal judgement in determining
when the lamps should be switched on.
The sensors cannot, for example
"recognize" fog. In such situations
switch on the lamp manually, as other-
wise a safety hazard will
result.<
You can have the sensitivity of
your vehicle's automatic head-
light control
adjusted.<
