Outdoor Light Switch
Fig. 1.31. Lighting mode switches: 1 – external lighting switch; 2 – backlight of control devices; 3 – headlight range adjuster
Low beam and high beam function only when the ignition is on. When starting the engine and after turning off the ignition, the lights automatically switch to the parking lights.
Note: If the lights are not switched off after the key is removed from the ignition, a buzzer will sound when the driver's door is open.
Fog lights
Pull the exterior lighting switch in the parking light or low/high beam positions to the first detent position.
When the fog lights are on, the corresponding pictogram lights up green.
Rear fog light
Cars without fog lights.
Turn the exterior lighting switch to the low/high beam position and pull it out as far as it will go.
Cars with fog lights.
Pull the exterior lighting switch to the parking light or low/high beam position to the second detent.
Note: When the rear fog light is on, the indicator light in the instrument panel lights up.
Backlighting of control devices
When the outside lighting is on, the brightness of the instrument lighting is smoothly adjusted using a dial located next to the outside lighting switch.
Headlight leveling corrector
The electric adjustment mechanism allows for smooth adjustment of the headlight beam angle according to the vehicle load. This reduces the risk of blinding oncoming drivers. At the same time, the correct installation of the headlights provides the driver with better visibility.
The headlight adjustment process can only be performed when the low beam is on.

To lower the light cone, turn the control dial downwards from its original position (–).
Automatic headlight leveling.
On vehicles with xenon lamps, dynamic headlight leveling is automatically adjusted when the ignition is switched on. This means that the length of the light cone is subject to continuous adjustment in accordance with the vehicle load and its longitudinal inclination during acceleration and braking.
Rear window heating
The heating only functions when the ignition is on. When the heating is on, the control lamp in the switch lights up.
Emergency alarm system
The hazard warning lights also function when the ignition is off.
Turn on your hazard warning lights when, for example:
- you have reached the end of the traffic jam;
- you have been involved in a traffic accident or your car has stopped due to a technical malfunction.
When the hazard warning lights are on, all the direction indicators flash simultaneously. The direction indicator lights and the indicator light in the switch also flash.
Electric sunshade switch
If there is an intense stream of sunlight through the rear window, the sunblind can be pulled out electrically.
To raise or lower the curtain, press the key briefly. The curtain will take the corresponding final position.
Please note: When the curtain is extended, the view of the traffic situation behind the vehicle through the interior rear-view mirror is significantly limited.
