WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot
determine in all situations when daylight is
too weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist
and rain.
The driver is always responsible for ensur-
ing that the car is driven with the correct
beam pattern for the traffic situation and in
accordance with applicable traffic regula-
tions.
Tunnel detection*
Tunnel detection changes the lighting from
daytime running lights to dipped beam when
the car is driven into a tunnel. Approx. 20 sec-
onds after the car has left the tunnel, the light-
ing returns to daytime running lights.
The tunnel detection function is available in
cars with rain sensor*. The sensor detects the
entrance to a tunnel and resets the lighting
from daytime running lights to dipped beam.
Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left the
tunnel, the lighting returns to daytime running
lights. If the car is driven into another tunnel
within this time period then dipped beam is
kept switched on. This avoids repeated
changes to the car's lighting.
Note that the headlamp control's knob must
remain in
position for tunnel detection
to work.
