Parking lights on one side
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 position:
Right-hand parking light is switched on.
Left-hand parking light is switched on.
• Return the turn signal and main beam lever to the basic position in order to switch off the

Automatic switch-off for side lights and parking lights
The side lights and parking lights drain the 12-volt vehicle battery when switched on. In order to
ensure that the engine can be started, the side lights and parking lights are automatically switched
off when the charge level of the 12 V vehicle battery is so low that there is a risk of no longer being
able to restart the vehicle. Switch-off takes place at the earliest after the side and parking lights
have been switched on for two hours.
The side lights and parking lights will not switch off automatically if there is insufficient battery
capacity for them to remain switched on for two hours. In this case, the side lights and parking lights
will remain switched on until the 12-volt vehicle battery is fully discharged. It will no longer be
possible to restart the engine

Operation and display in the Infotainment system
in the
Infotainment system:
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the vehicle is parked without sufficient
illumination, as other road users might have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see it
at all.
• Always park the vehicle securely and with sufficient lighting. Observe any applicable
local legislation.
• If the vehicle lighting is required for several hours, switch on the right or left parking
light if possible. The illumination time of the one-sided parking light is generally double
that of the continuous parking light on both sides.
