Facility.

Parking lights

If the parking light

is switched on, the parking light will come on at the front on both sides, sections of the taillights and the

license plate light will come on at the rear and various buttons in the vehicle interior will come on.

Automatic parking light deactivation

The vehicle detects that the 12 V vehicle battery is low and switches off the parking light early enough to ensure that the

engine can still be started, but not until at least two hours have passed.

If the battery capacity is not sufﬁcient for the parking light to run for two hours, the 12 V vehicle battery may drain to such an

extent that the engine can no longer be started.

WARNING

If the vehicle is stopped without enough lighting and cannot be seen or is difﬁcult for others on the road to see, this can

cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.

Always stop the vehicle safely and with enough lighting.
