All-weather lights

Automatic dynamic headlight range control system
Your vehicle is equipped with a headlight range control system so that there is less glare for oncoming traffic if the vehicle load changes. The headlight range also adjusts automatically when braking and accelerating.
Light functions
The following light functions may be available depending on vehicle equipment and only function when the light switch is in the AUTO position.
Static cornering light - The cornering light switches on automatically at speeds up to approximately 44 mph (70 km) when the steering wheel is at a certain angle. The area to the side of the vehicle is illuminated better when turning.
WARNING
- Automatic headlights are only intended to
assist the driver. They do not relieve the
driver of responsibility to check the headlights
and to turn them on manually based
on the current light and visibility conditions.
For example, fog cannot be detected by the light sensors. So always switch on the low beam under these weather conditions and when driving in the dark

Tips
- The light sensor for the automatic headlights is located in the rearview mirror mount. Do not place any stickers in this area on the windshield.
- Some exterior lighting functions can be adjusted.
- If you turn off the ignition while the exterior lights are on and open the door, a warning tone sounds.
- In cool or damp weather, the inside of the headlights, turn signals and tail lights can fog over due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside. They will clear shortly after switching them on. This does not affect the service life of the lighting.
