Fig. 83 Next to steering wheel: headlight range control
Headlight range control
Depending on what level it is set to, the headlight range control adjusts the position of the light cones in the headlights according to the load that the vehicle is carrying. This gives the driver the best visibility possible and means that oncoming traffic will not be dazzled .
The headlights can only be adjusted when the dipped beam headlights are switched on.
To adjust, turn control to: | |
---|---|
Setting | Vehicle load levela) |
– | Front seats occupied and luggage compartment empty. |
1 | All seats occupied and luggage compartment empty. |
2 | All seats occupied and luggage compartment fully loaded. Towing a trailer with a low drawbar load. |
3 | Only the driver seat occupied and luggage compartment fully loaded. Towing a trailer with maximum drawbar load. |
Dynamic headlight range control
There is no control ① for headlight range if the vehicle has dynamic headlight control. The headlight range is automatically adapted to suit the vehicle load level as soon as the headlights are switched on .
Instrument and switch lighting
The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting can be adjusted using the
button and the
and
Light function buttons in the infotainment system .
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, it may be possible to adjust the brightness of the instrument and switch lighting to suit your requirements by turning control when the headlights are switched on.
Instrument cluster lighting
