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 light so that the engine
can still be started – but after 2 hours at the earliest.
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the side lights or parking light to remain switched on for 2 hours, the 12-
volt vehicle battery can be discharged to such an extent that it is no longer possible to start the engine →

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 country-specific legal
requirements.
● 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.
NOTICE
If the side lights or parking lights are used, the vehicle battery will discharge itself. To make it possible for the
engine to be restarted, the side lights or parking lights are switched off automatically to preserve the charge state
of the vehicle battery.
● If you cannot start the engine, seek assistance to help you jump-start the vehicle if necessary and have the vehicle
battery checked by a correspondingly qualified workshop.
