Interior lighting

Instrument and switch lighting

Fig. 1 Next to the steering wheel: control for instrument and switch lighting 1 .

The brightness of the instrument and switch lighting can be adjusted in the vehicle settings in

the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu, Operation).

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 → Fig. 1 1 when

the lights are switched on.

The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing ambient light conditions in the

vehicle.

When the automatic headlights function

is switched on, a sensor will switch the dipped

beam and the lighting in the instruments and switches on and off automatically depending on

the ambient brightness level.

When the lights are switched off and the ignition switched on, the instrument and

switch lighting (needles and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower,

the lighting of the scales is automatically reduced and may be switched off entirely. This

function is intended to remind the driver to switch on the dipped beam in good time, i.e.

when driving through tunnels.

Interior and reading lights, background lighting

Press the corresponding button:

Switches the front interior lights on or off.

Switches the rear interior lights on and off.

The interior lights are switched on automatically when the vehicle is unlocked, a door is

opened or the vehicle key is removed from the ignition.

Switch the reading light on or off.

Glove box and luggage compartment lights

A light will be switched on or off when the glove box or boot lid is opened or closed.

Background lighting

Depending on the equipment level, the background lighting provides indirect light in the various

areas of the vehicle interior.

The footwell may also be illuminated.

The brightness of the background lighting can be adjusted in the vehicle settings in the

Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu, Operation).

The lights go out when the vehicle is locked or after a delay of a few minutes when the

vehicle key is removed from the ignition lock. This prevents the 12-volt battery from

discharging.

Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and

therefore change when the user account changes (→ Personalisation, Description).
