Automatic headlights*
The sensitivity of the light sensor (i.e. how soon the lights are switched on) can be adjusted.
Headlamp converter for driving abroad*
The asymmetric low beams of the headlights are designed to light up the near side of the road more intensely. If you drive a right-hand drive vehicle in a left-hand drive country, or vice versa, you will dazzle oncoming traffic. To avoid dazzling oncoming traffic:
- On vehicles with xenon lights*, the headlamp converter must be activated.
- On vehicles with halogen lights, you have to apply opaque stickers to certain parts of the headlight lenses. For more information, contact a qualified workshop.
Note
If the headlamp converter is activated, this is displayed in the instrument cluster display every time the ignition is switched on.
