·
Always check the lights yourself and ad-
just them to the prevailing conditions for
lights, visibility and road traffic.
·
The main-beam control may not be able
to recognise all driving situations cor-
rectly and may not work properly in cer-
tain situations.
·
If the camera's field of view is dirty, cov-
ered or damaged, the function of the
main-beam control may be impaired.
This also applies if changes are made to
the vehicle's lighting system, for exam-
ple if additional headlights are fitted.
NOTICE
Please observe the following points in order
to avoid impairing the proper function of the
system:
·
Regularly clean the camera's field of view,
and keep it free from snow and ice.
·
Do not cover the camera's field of view.
·
Regularly check the area of the wind-
screen that is in the camera's field of view
for damage.
Switching parking lights on
and off
Fig. 88 On the left-hand side of the steering
column: turn signal and main beam lever.
Switching on parking light on one side of the
vehicle
When the parking lights are switched on, the
headlight with side light and parts of the tail
light cluster on the corresponding side of the
vehicle light up.
— Switch off the ignition.
— Move the turn signal and main beam lever
from the centre position to the following
:
—
A
Right-hand parking light is switched
on.
—
B
Left-hand parking light is switched
on.
Continuous parking light on both sides of the
vehicle
Both headlights light up with side lights as
well as parts of the tail light clusters if con-
tinuous parking light on both sides of the ve-
hicle is switched on:
— Switch on the parking lights .
— Switch off the ignition.
— Lock the vehicle from outside.
Automatic switch-off of side lights and park-
ing lights
The vehicle will detect a weak 12-volt vehicle
battery and switch off the side lights or park-
ing lights in good time so that the vehicle’s
drive system can still be activated – however,
this will occur after two hours at the earliest.
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the
side lights or parking light to remain switch-
ed on for two hours, the 12-volt vehicle bat-
tery may discharge so far that the vehicle's
drive system can no longer be activated .
WARNING
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if
the vehicle is parked without sufficient illu-
mination, as other road users might have
difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see
it at all.
·
Always park the vehicle safely and with
sufficient lighting. Observe any applica-
ble local legislation.
·
If the vehicle lighting is required for sev-
eral hours, switch on the right or left
parking light if possible. The activation
