Left-hand/right-hand traffic
Halogen headlights
Measures to prevent the headlights from daz‐
zling oncoming traffic are necessary if you take
the vehicle into countries in which the opposite
rule of the road applies. Your Service centre can
provide the appropriate light benders that can
be affixed to the headlight lenses. Proceed in
accordance with the enclosed instructions
when affixing the light benders to the headlights.
Xenon headlights*
Measures to prevent the headlights from daz‐
zling oncoming traffic are necessary if you take
the vehicle into countries in which the opposite
rule of the road applies. BMW recommends that
the work be performed by the Service centre if
you are not familiar with the procedure. Once
they have been adjusted the headlights will not
dazzle oncoming vehicles when you drive on the
normal side of the road, so you can have the ad‐
justments carried out, for example, before en‐
tering the country in which the opposite rule of
the road applies.
Adjust headlights
1. In the wheel arches, remove both brackets
and the cover.
2. Turn the cover and remove.
3. Push the lever upwards.
Instrument lighting
Adjusting
You can adjust the brightness of
the instrument lighting only when
the side lights or the low-beam
headlights are switched on.
The lighting intensity can be set
using the knurled wheel.
Interior light
General
The interior light, the footwell lights, door entry
lighting and the courtesy lighting are controlled
automatically.
The brightness of some equipment is influenced
by the knurled wheel for the instrument lighting.
