Operation Manual

150 Lighting
Battery discharge protection
To prevent the battery from becoming
discharged, the courtesy light, reading
lights, luggage compartment lighting and
glove compartment lighting switch off
automatically 10 minutes after the ignition
is switched off.
Light covers
The inside of the light covers may mist up
briefly in poor, wet and cold weather
conditions, in heavy rain or after washing.
The mist disappears quickly by itself; to
help, switch on the lights.
Headlights when driving abroad
The asymmetrical dipped beam increases
the field of vision on the passenger side of
the lane.
This causes glare for oncoming traffic if the
vehicle is driven in countries where traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road.
Do as follows to prevent glare:
Vehicles with halogen headlight system
or Xenon headlight system 3
Have headlights adjusted in a workshop.
Vehicles with adaptive forward lighting 3
(AFL)
1. Pull and hold stalk for main beam on
steering wheel (headlight flash)
2. Switch on ignition.
3. After approx. 3 seconds, an acoustic
signal sounds and then AFL control
indicator
B flashes approx. 4 seconds.
After the switch, AFL control indicator
B
flashes for 4 seconds each time the ignition
is switched on.
To return to asymmetrical dipped beam,
pull and hold the main beam stalk again,
switch on the ignition and wait for the
acoustic signal. AFL control indicator
B
will then discontinue flashing.
Control indicator B, see pages 118, 147.
