The rear window defogger switch will only operate when the engine is running.
The defogger is used to reduce the moisture, fog or frost on the rear window surface and outside door mirrors surface (where fitted) to improve the rear view.
When the defogger switch is pushed, the indicator light illuminates and the defogger operates for approximately 20 minutes. After the preset time has passed, the defogger will turn off automatically.
To turn off the defogger manually, push the defogger switch again.
When cleaning the inner side of the window, be careful not to scratch or damage the electrical conductors on the surface of the window.
During use of the rear window defogger, the Stop/Start system is unavailable.
To select the high beam when in the low beam position, push the lever forward. The high beam lights come on and the indicator light illuminates.
Push the lever forward again to select the low beam position.
Pulling the lever towards you will flash the headlight high beam.
A camera-controlled high beam assistant which changes from low beam to high beam automatically.
The dynamic high beam assistant cannot compensate for road and weather circumstances while driving. The system saves the driver from having to operate the switch. The driver always remains responsible for choosing the correct light setting.
Specific situations in which to operate the headlight switch manually:
To activate the high beam assist system, push the switch as illustrated when it is in the <AUTO> position. The high beam assist indicator light in the instrument panel will illuminate.
If the dynamic high beam assistant cannot function (for example: up to 15 seconds after startup, snow covering front camera or similar) the headlights will operate at night in low beam until the system can activate. At all times, the status of the system is shown by the indicator lights in the instrument panel.
To turn the dynamic high beam assistant off, push the switch again, or turn the headlight switch to the appropriate position.
A camera-controlled system which automatically maximises nighttime forward visibility while preventing bright light from shining directly at other road users.
The battery save feature prevents your vehicle from discharging the battery after you have left the external lights, map lights or room lights on when exiting the vehicle. This occurs when the ignition is switched to OFF after the engine has been running.
The next time the engine is started the external lights, map lights or room light will come on again.
If the ignition is switched OFF after driving but the external lights are accidentally left on, the external lights will automatically be switched off as soon as the driver’s door is opened.
It is possible to leave the external lights on permanently by switching them back on using the headlight switch while the ignition is still switched OFF. In this case, the light reminder chime will sound when the driver’s door is opened.
The interior light will automatically be switched off after a period of time if it has been accidentally left on.
Move the lever up or down to indicate right or left. When the turn is completed, the turn signal is automatically cancelled.
Move the lever only part of the way up or down to signal a lane change (right or left). The indicator lights will flash three times before cancelling automatically.
The rear fog light should only be used when visibility is seriously reduced — generally to less than 100 m (328 ft).
The rear fog lights can be operated in any headlight switch position, but will not operate if the headlight switch is in the <AUTO> position and low beam is not activated.
To turn the rear fog light on, turn the fog light switch to the ON position. The indicator light will come on. The fog light switch will return to the neutral position.
To turn the rear fog light off, turn the fog light switch to the OFF position again.
