Automatic switch-off of side lights and parking lights  
The vehicle will detect a weak 12-volt vehicle battery and switch off the side lights or parking  
lights in good time so that the vehicle’s drive system can still be activated – however, this will  
occur after two hours at the earliest.  
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the side lights or parking light to remain switched on  
for two hours, the 12-volt vehicle battery may discharge so far that the vehicle's drive system  
can no longer be activated →  
.
WARNING  
Accidents and serious injuries can occur if the vehicle is parked without sufficient illumination,  
as other road users might have difficulty seeing the vehicle, or may not see it at all.  
Always park the vehicle safely and with sufficient lighting. Observe any applicable local  
legislation.  
If the vehicle lighting is required for several hours, switch on the right or left parking light if  
possible. The activation duration of the one-sided parking light is generally double that of  
the continuous parking light on both sides.
