Operation
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is
normally necessary to cover part of the
headlight bulbs with stickers or to change
the adjustment of the headlights to avoid
dazzling other drivers.
With the ignition switched on and without
switching on the lights, the lighting dims as
the exterior light decreases. In some cases,
e.g. when driving through a tunnel without
the function active, the instrument pan-
el lighting may even switch off. The objective
of this function is to provide the driver with a
visual indication that he or she should acti-
vate the dipped beam.
Door contact connection.
The interior lights come on automatically
when you unlock the vehicle, open a door
or disconnect the ignition.
The light goes out a few seconds after
closing all the doors, when locking the ve-
hicle or connecting the ignition.
In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for
designated points of the light distribution.
This is known as “Tourist light”.
Reading light
The reading light is tactile, each lens is
turned on and off individually by pressing in

strument cluster (Digital Cockpit), the fol-
lowing message will appear Turn on the
lights on the instrument cluster.
The light distribution of the headlights allows
the specific “tourist light” values to be met
without the need for stickers or changes be-
ing made to the settings.
