If the coming home* feature is activated, the acoustic signal for the
dipped beam headlights will not sound, it will sound if the position lights are
activated.
•
The rear fog light is so bright that it can dazzle drivers behind you. You
should use the rear fog light only when visibility is very poor.
•
If you are towing a trailer equipped with a rear fog light on a vehicle with
a factory-fitted
towing bracket
, the rear fog light on the car will automatically
be switched off.

Automatic lighting
Activation
– Turn the control to the position “Auto”.
When the switch is in this position, as soon as visibility conditions are
reduced, the lights are automatically activated. The indication “Auto”,
changes to red.
Automatic lighting
If the automatic headlight control is switched on, dipped headlights are auto-
matically switched on by a light-sensitive sensor if you drive into a tunnel, for
example.
The rain function switches on the headlights if the continuous wipe function
is switched on for longer than 5 seconds. The dipped beam headlights are
switched off if the continuous wipe or the intermittent wipe functions are
switched off for longer than 255 seconds.
WARNING
•
If automatic headlight control is switched on, the headlights will not be
switched on in fog or heavy rain. Therefore, the dipped beam must be
switched on.
Note
•
For those vehicles with the automatic headlight system, when the key is
removed from the ignition, the acoustic signal will only sound if the light
control is in the position
or
if the vehicle is not fitted with the coming
home function.
•
If the daylight driving automatic light function is switched on, the fog
lights or rear fog light cannot be switched on in addition.
•
The use of the lighting described here is subject to the relevant statutory
requirements.
•
Do not put stickers on the windscreen in front of the sensor. This may
cause disruptions or faults in the automatic lighting system.
