WARNING (Continued)
The automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and
■
does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the lights and, if
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing light condi-
tions. The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under
these conditions we recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
■
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by oth-
er oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is
dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although
the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.

We recommend you adjust the headlight beam when the low beam is switched
on.
Bi-Xenon headlights
The Bi-Xenon bulbs adapt automatically to the load and driving state of the
vehicle when the ignition is switched on and when driving. Vehicles that are
equipped with Bi-Xenon headlights do not have a manual headlight range ad-
justment control.
WARNING
Always adjust the headlight beam to satisfy the following conditions.
The vehicle does not dazzle other road users, especially oncoming vehi-
■
cles.
The beam range is sufficient for safe driving.
■
Note
The light switch is in position or and the ignition is turned off, the low
■
beam is switched off automatically and the status light is lit. The side light
goes out after the ignition key is removed.
If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.
