Applies to vehicles: with automatic headlights
Automatic (sensor-controlled) headlights
If you set the switch to “AUTO”, the headlights will come
on and switch off automatically according to the ambient
light level.
The automatic headlight setting only activates the dipped
beam headlights (not the main beam headlights)
page 52.
Activating automatic headlights
Turn the light switch fig. 47 to the AUTO position.
Deactivating automatic headlights
Turn the light switch to position O.
The symbol in the switch lights up when the switch is in the AUTO
position.
The dipped beams, side lights, rear lights and number plate lights
come on together when the headlights are switched on automati-
cally.
When you are using the automatic headlights you can also operate
the main beam headlights, however, please note the following: If
you activate the main beam headlights while using the automatic
headlights function (e.g. when driving through a tunnel), but do not
deactivate them again, only the dipped beam headlights will come
on the next time the lights are automatically switched on. To be able
to use the main beam headlights again you must first pull the main
beam lever back to the "off" position and then push it forward again
to "on".
The side lights, headlights and rear fog light can still be switched on
manually in the normal way by using the light switch page 52.
Sensors in the mounting for the interior mirror monitor the ambient
light level. The headlights will be switched on automatically if the
available light drops below a preset value (for instance when driving
through a tunnel, etc.). The headlights switch off again automati-
cally when the light level increases .
Malfunction of light sensor
If a malfunction should occur in the light sensor, the symbol will
light up in the display. For safety reasons, the dipped beam head-
lights will then be switched on permanently when the light switch
is set to the AUTO position. However, you can still switch the lights
on and off in the normal way with the light switch. You should have
the light sensor checked by a qualified workshop as soon as
possible.
WARNING
The automatic headlights are only intended to assist the driver.
The driver must always ensure that the headlights are used when
required, and may have to switch them on manually when the light
conditions or visibility are poor. The light sensors are, for example,
not able to detect rain and fog - you should therefore always
switch on the headlights in these conditions and when driving
after dark.
Observe all relevant statutory requirements when using the
lighting systems described here.
