Lights
7. Always carry the key with you when leav-
ing the v
ehicle.
All t
urn signals flash simultaneously when the
hazard warning lights are switched on. The
two turn signal turn signal lamps and the
turn signal lamp in the switch will flash at
the same time. The simultaneous hazard
warning lights also work when the ignition is
switched off.
Emergency braking warning
If the vehicle brakes suddenly and continu-
ously at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50
mph), the brake light flashes several times
per second to warn the vehicles driving be-
hind. If you continue braking, the hazard
warning lights will come on automatically
when the vehicle comes to a standstill. They
switch off automatically when the vehicle
starts to move again.
WARNING
●
The risk of an accident increases if your
vehicle breaks down. Always use the hazard
warning lights and a warning triangle to
draw the attention of other road users to
your stationary vehicle.
●
Due to the high temperatures that the
catalytic converter can reach, never park in
an area where the catalytic converter could
come into contact with highly inflammable
materials, for example dry grass or spilt
petrol. This could start a fire.
Note
●
The battery will run down if the hazard
warning lights are left on for a long time,
even if the ignition is switched off.
●
The use of the hazard warning lights de-
scribed here is subject to the relevant stat-
utory requirements.
Dynamic headlight range control
The headlight range is automatically adjus-
t
ed accor
ding to the vehicle load status
when they are switched on.
WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle may mean that
the headlights dazzle and distract other
drivers. This could result in a serious acci-
dent.
●
Adjust the light beam to the vehicle load
status so that it does not blind other driv-
ers.
Driving abroad
The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
as
ymmetric: the side of the r
oad on which
you are driving is lit more intensely.
When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is
normally necessary to cover part of the
headlight bulbs with stickers or to change
the adjustment of the headlights to avoid
dazzling other drivers.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution.
This is known as “Tourist light”.
The light distribution of the headlights allows
the specific “tourist light” values to be met
without the need for stickers or changes be-
ing made to the settings.
Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you are planning a long stay in a country
that drives on the other side, you should
take the vehicle to an Authorised Technical
Service to change the headlights.
