WARNING
The car's audio system is not able to
determine when daylight is too weak or
sufficiently strong, e.g. in fog and rain, in
all situations.
The driver is always responsible for ensur-
ing that the car is driven with a beam pat-
tern suitable for the traffic situation and in
accordance with applicable traffic regula-
tions.
Instrument lighting
Different display and instrument lighting is
switched on depending on key position; see
Key positions - functions at different levels
(p. 77).
The display lighting is automatically subdued
in darkness - the sensitivity is set with the
thumbwheel.
The intensity of the instrument lighting is
adjusted with the thumbwheel.
Headlamp levelling
The load in the car changes the vertical align-
ment of the headlamp beam, which could
dazzle oncoming motorists. Avoid this by
adjusting the height of the beam. Lower the
beam if the car is heavily laden.
1. Leave the engine running, or have the
car's electrical system in key position I.
2. Roll the thumbwheel up/down to raise/
lower beam alignment.
