dash panel. The daytime running lights also switch on when the ignition is switched on.
If the vehicle is not locked from outside when the ignition is switched off, the continuous parking
light on both sides of the vehicle switches on automatically after ten minutes to reduce 12-volt
vehicle battery discharge (→ Parking light, Operation).
Automatic headlights
When the automatic headlights function
is switched on, the vehicle lighting and the
instrument and switch lighting will switch on and off depending on the light conditions. When
the lights are switched on, the indicator lamp lights up yellow.

headlights can be set in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings
menu, Operation).
