Operation
WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals,
or forgetting to deactivate them can con-
fuse other road users. This could result in a
serious accident.
●
Always give warning when you are going
to change lane, overtake or when turning,
activating the turn signal in good time.
●
As soon as you have finished changing
lane, overtaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause
accidents and serious injury, as the main
beam may distract or dazzle other drivers.
Note
●
When you turn the ignition off without
having turned the turn signals off, an
acoustic signal sounds while the driver door
is open. This is intended as a reminder to
switch off the turn signal, unless you wish to
leave the parking light on.
●
If the convenience turn signals are oper-
ating (three flashes) and the other conven-
ience turn signals are switched on, the ac-
tive part stops flashing and only flashes
once in the new part selected.
●
The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.
●
If a trailer turn signal malfunctions, the
control lamp will st
op flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will flash
at double speed.
●
The main beam headlights can only be
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
●
In cold or damp weather conditions, the
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal
and in no way effects the useful life of the
vehicle lighting system.
●
The parking light does not activate auto-
matically if the left- or right-hand turn sig-
nal is left on and the ignition is disconnec-
ted.
Main beam assist (Light Assist)*
The main beam assist automatically prevents
glar
e fr
om vehicles moving in the opposite
direction or ahead in the same direction. In
addition, the main beam assist detects illu-
minated areas and disconnects the main
beam headlight when passing, e.g. by popu-
lated areas.
Within its limitations, the assist system auto-
matically connects or disconnects the main
beam headlight depending on the environ-
mental and traffic conditions, as well as the
speed
