Parking lights

Low beams / Xenon headlights*

Xenon headlights*

Xenon headlights illuminate the road ahead of the vehicle, as well as its side areas, significantly better and more evenly than conventional halogen headlights.

Xenon headlights

In xenon headlights, light is produced not by a filament but by an electric arc. A mixture of inert gases and metal vapors in the quartz bulb glows under the influence of high voltage. A lower voltage is then applied to maintain the arc. There is a slight delay when the lights are switched on. Maximum brightness is reached after approximately 15 seconds.

Xenon headlights improve visibility in poor weather and in complex traffic situations, for example when driving at night in the rain on a road under construction without markings.

Xenon headlights contribute significantly to road safety, as they allow the driver to see more easily, for example, pedestrians, motorcyclists and cyclists moving along the right edge of the roadway.

Lights-on warning

When you turn the key to position 0, a buzzer sounds for several seconds to remind you that the lights have not been switched off.

For vehicles with a text display of the diagnostic system*: the reminder is shown on the display.

Daytime running lights

If desired, the light switch can be left in the second detent position. In this case, the exterior lights will also go out when the ignition is switched off.

On some models, the daytime running lights switch on automatically when the ignition key is turned to position 2 if the light switch is in position 0.
