Instrument lighting Different display and instrument lighting is switched on depending on key position; see Key positions - functions at different levels (p. 70). The display lighting is automatically subdued in darkness - the sensitivity is set with the thumbwheel. The intensity of the instrument lighting is adjusted with the thumbwheel.

Headlamp levelling The load in the car changes the vertical align- ment of the headlamp beam, which could dazzle oncoming motorists. Avoid this by adjusting the height of the beam. Lower the beam if the car is heavily laden.

1. Leave the engine running, or have the

car's electrical system in key position I. 2. Roll the thumbwheel up/down to raise/

(num- Turn the knob to the position for ber plate lighting is switched on at the same time). If the car's electrical system is in key position II or the engine is running then the daytime running lights switch on instead of the front position/parking lamps. When it is dark outside and the tailgate is opened the rear position/parking lamps illumi- nate to alert traffic behind. This takes place irrespective of what position the knob is in or what key position the car's electrical system is in.

Daytime running lights With the knob for headlamp control in posi- and the car's electrical system in tion key position II or the engine running, the day- time running lights are activated automatically in good light conditions.

Daytime running lights during the day. DRL

Knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.

With the knob for headlamp control in position the daytime running lights (Daytime Running Lights - DRL) are activated automati- cally when the car is driven during the day. A light sensor on the top of the instrument panel changes from daytime running lights to dipped beam at twilight or when daylight becomes too weak. Switching to dipped beam also takes place if the windscreen wip- ers or rear fog lamps are activated.

WARNING

This system help to save energy - it cannot determine in all situations when daylight is too weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist and rain. The driver is always responsible for ensur- ing that the car is driven with its lights in a correct state and in accordance with appli- cable traffic regulations.

03 Instruments and controls

Tunnel detection* In markets without automatic dipped beam, tunnel detection activates dipped beam when driving into a tunnel. Dipped beam is deacti- vated approx. 20 seconds after the car has been driven out of the tunnel.

The tunnel detection function is available in cars with rain sensor*. The sensor detects the entrance to a tunnel and resets the lighting from daytime running lights to dipped beam. Approx. 20 seconds after the car has left the tunnel, the lighting returns to daytime running lights. If the car is driven into another tunnel within this time period then dipped beam is kept switched on. This avoids repeated changes to the car's light settings. Note that the headlamp control's knob must position for tunnel detection remain in to work.

Alternatively, the main beam can be deactivated by a light press of the stalk switch toward the steering wheel. When main beam has been activated the symbol illuminates in the combined

instrument panel.

Auxiliary lamps* If the car has auxiliary lamps, the driver can use the MY CAR menu system to choose whether they should be deactivated or switched on/off simultaneously with the main beam22, see MY CAR (p. 103).

Active high beam* The Active High Beam function detects the headlamp beams of oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles in front, and switches the lighting from main beam to dipped beam. Xenon headlamps only dim the portion of the light beam that points directly to the vehicle. The lighting returns to main beam when the incoming light has stopped.

Active high beam - AHB Active high beam (Active High Beam - AHB) is a function which uses a camera sensor at the top edge of the windscreen to detect the headlamp beams of oncoming traffic or the rear lights of vehicles in front, and then switches from main beam to dipped beam. The function can also take streetlights into account. Car with halogen headlamps The lighting returns to main beam about a second after the camera sensor no longer detects the headlamp beams from oncoming traffic or the rear lights from vehicles in front. Car with Xenon headlamps Unlike what happens during conventional dimming, the light beam continues with main beam on both sides of oncoming traffic or vehicles ahead - only the part of the light

Operating with auto

All power windows can be operated using the control panel for the driver's door - the con- trol panels for the other doors can only each operate their respective power window. Only one control panel can be operated at a time. In order for the power windows to be used, the key position must be at least I - see Key positions - functions at different levels (p. 70). The power windows can be operated for a few minutes after the engine has been switched off and after the remote control key has been removed - although not after a door has been opened. Closing of the windows is stopped and the window is opened if anything prevents its

movement. It is possible to override the pinch protection when closing has been interrupted, e.g. if there is ice forming. After two succes- sive closing interruptions the pinch protection will be forced and the automatic function deactivated for a short while, now it is possi- ble to close by continually holding the button pulled up.

NOTE

One way to reduce the pulsating wind noise when the rear windows are open is to also open the front windows slightly.

Automatic angling of the door mirror when parking26
When reverse gear is engaged the door mirror is automatically angled down so that the driver can see the side of the road when parking for example. When reverse gear is disengaged the mirror automatically returns to its original position after a short time. The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 103).

Automatic retraction when locking26
When the car is locked/unlocked with the remote control key the door mirrors are auto- matically retracted/extended. The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR (p. 103).

Resetting to neutral Mirrors that have been moved out of position by an external force must be reset electrically to the neutral position for electric retracting/ extending to work correctly: 1. Retract the mirrors with the L and R but-

tons.

2. Fold them out again with the L and R but-

tons.

3. Repeat the above procedure as neces-

sary.

The mirrors are now reset in neutral position.

Automatic dimming* For the door mirrors to be fitted with this function requires that the interior rearview mirror also has automatic dimming, see Rear- view mirror - interior (p. 96).

Retractable power door mirrors* The mirrors can be retracted for parking/driv- ing in narrow spaces: 1. Depress the L and R buttons simultane-

ously (key position must be at least I).

2. Release them after

approximately 1 second. The mirrors automatically stop in the fully retracted position.

Fold out the mirrors by pressing down the L and R buttons simultaneously. The mirrors automatically stop in the fully extended posi- tion.

Home safe and approach lighting The lamp on the door mirrors illuminates when approach lighting (p. 89) or home safe lighting (p. 89) is selected.

Control for dimming

Manual dimming Bright light from behind could be reflected in the rearview mirror and dazzle the driver. Use dimming with the dimming control when lights from behind are distracting: 1. Use dimming by moving the control in towards the passenger compartment.

2. Return to normal position by moving the

control towards the windscreen.

03 Instruments and controls

Automatic dimming* Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the rearview mirror. The control for manual dimming is not available on mir- rors with automatic dimming. The rearview mirror contains two sensors - one forward facing and one rearward facing - that work together to identify and eliminate dazzling light. The forward facing sensor detects ambient light, while the rearward fac- ing sensor detects the light from vehicle headlights behind.

NOTE

If the sensors are obscured by e.g. parking permits, transponders, sun visors or objects in the seats or in the cargo area in such a way that light is prevented from reaching the sensors, then the dimming function of the interior rearview and door mirrors is reduced.

The compass (p. 97) can only be specified for a rearview mirror with automatic dimming.

Related information • Door mirrors (p. 94)

Compass* The rearview mirror contains an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which the front of the car is pointing.

Operation

Rearview mirror with compass. The upper right-hand corner of the rearview mirror has an integrated display that shows the compass direction in which the front of the car is pointing. Eight different directions are shown with English abbreviations: N (north), NE (north east), E (east), SE (south east), S (south), SW (south west), W (west) and NW (north west). The compass is activated automatically when the car is started or when key position II is active, see Key positions - functions at differ- ent levels (p. 70). To deactivate/activate the compass - press in the button on the under-

03

side of the mirror using a paper clip for exam- ple.

Calibration The compass may need calibrating to show the correct compass direction. The earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones. The compass should be calibrated if the car is moved across several magnetic zones. Proceed as follows to perform calibration: 1. Stop the car in a large open area free from steel structures and high-voltage power lines.

2. Start the car and switch off all electrical equipment (air conditioning, wipers, etc.) and ensure that all doors are closed.

NOTE

Calibration may fail or not start at all if electrical equipment is not switched off.

3. Hold the button on the underside of the

rearview mirror depressed approx. 3 seconds. The number of the current magnetic zone is shown.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.

Magnetic zones. 4. Press the button repeatedly until the

required magnetic zone (1–15) is shown. See the map of magnetic zones for the compass.

5. Wait until the display returns to showing

the character C, or hold the button on the bottom of the rearview mirror depressed for approx. 6 seconds (use e.g. a paper clip) until the character C is shown.

6. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no

more than 10 km/h until a compass direc- tion is shown in the display, indicating that calibration is complete. Then drive a further 2 circles to fine-tune calibration.

7. Cars with heated windscreen*: If the

character C is shown in the display when the heated windscreen is activated, per- form the calibration in accordance with point 6 above with the heated windscreen activated, see Demisting and defrosting the windscreen (p. 125).

8. Repeat the above procedure as neces-

sary.

Sunroof* The sunroof can be operated with a control in the roof panel. The sunroof's inner sunscreen is closed man- ually. The sunroof has a wind deflector.
