Background lighting

The background lighting can be switched on and off via a button in the C-pillar or via the central control unit for 
camping equipment in the “Light” menu. 
By pressing the “Light OFF” button in the entrance area or by locking the vehicle with the folding radio key or 
driver door lock after leaving the vehicle, the complete lighting including the background lighting can be 
switched off. The background lighting is not dimmable.
The background lighting switches off as soon as the vehicle is travelling at a speed > 0 km/h.
It is not possible to switch on the background lighting while driving.
