>>Light conditions. (Chapter 2)
As your vehicle is easy to operate because all control elements are located where you would expect them to be, even navigating in the dark is a cinch. But go ahead and try it out in daylight first.

Lights
Switching on the lights
The control lever for the lights is located to the left of the steering wheel.
By turning the rotary control from its default position of 0, the following occurs:
Stage 1 – the parking lights are switched on.
Stage 2 – low beam lights are switched on.
Stage 3 – the rear fog lamp and the low beam lights are switched on.
>Note!
When you switch the ignition off, the lowbeam lights are also switched off. They come on again automatically when the engine is restarted.
>Note!
If you drive in countries in which the side of the road driven on is opposite that of the country in which the vehicle is approved, oncoming traffic may be blinded by the asymmetric low beam lights. In this case, have the headlights converted to the symmetric low beam lights for these countries. This conversion can be carried out in a qualified specialist workshop such as a smart center.
⚠️Accident risk!
Switch your lights on in good time
- when it is raining heavily,
- when it starts to get dark.
Vehicles are detected easier in traffic if they have their lights on.

Headlight range control
Headlight range control
The headlight range adjustment enables you to adapt the headlights to suit the load status of your car.
Adjusting the headlight range
The basic setting, this means:
- no payload,
- driver seat occupied,
- headlight range adjustment position
0
ensures that you
- obtain the best possible visibility conditions for the driver (A),
- do not dazzle drivers of oncoming vehicles.
If the light cone changes due to the vehicle load (B):
- Turn the headlight range adjuster wheel (C) to the corresponding position until the basic light position setting is reestablished.
>Note!
Note that the headlight range adjustment must be reset to position 0 after you have unloaded the vehicle.
Interior lights
Interior lights
