Switches

Daytime running lights

The parking lights and daytime running lights come on automatically when the igni- tion switch is ON.

Note to owners in the U.S.: If you do not want Daytime Running Lights, this feature can be disconnected: switch off the engine and remove fuse No. 35 (see page 218).

Note to owners in Canada: Daytime Run- ning Lights must not be disconnected as they are a Canadian Federal legal require- ment.

Parking lights

The parking lights can be switched on regardless of the position of the ignition switch. Do not use parking lights when driv- ing.

If the parking lights are on and the driver´s door is opened, a reminder to turn them off will sound.

Note: The lighting switch must be in parking light or headlight position (low beam posi- tion only) to operate the fog lights (see page 76).

Headlights

The headlights come on automatically when the ignition is ON and go off when the igni- tion switch is turned to the LOCK position. The parking lights, however, can be on when the ignition switch is in the LOCK posi- tion.

In cold and damp weather, the inside of the headlamp lens may temporarily mist up. This misting does not affect the func- tion or service life of the light fitting.

When the lamps are on, the mist will eventually disappear.

High/low beam

To switch between high and low beam, pull the control stalk fully towards you (position 2). When the high beam is on, the indicator on the main instrument panel will be illuminated.

High beam flasher

The headlights come on to high beam when the stalk is pulled to the first spring-loaded position (position 1) and remain on until the stalk is released.
