Pull lever to deactivate high beam.
High beam assist 3 120.

High beam assist

This feature automatically activates

the high beam at night when vehicle

speed is faster than40 km/h.
It switches automatically back to low

beam when:

● The camera or a sensor in the

windscreen detects the lights of

oncoming or preceding vehicles.

● The vehicle speed drops below

20 km/h.

● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.

If there are no restrictions detected,

the system switches back to high

beam.

Activation

The high beam assist is activated by

pushing the indicator lever twice. The

high beam is switched on

automatically at a speed above

40 km/h.
The green control indicator f

illuminates continuously when the

assist is activated, the blue one 7

illuminates when high beam is on.
Control indicator f 3 96.

Deactivation

Push indicator lever once. It is also

deactivated when front fog lights are

switched on.

If a headlight flash is activated when

the high beam is on, the high beam

assist will be deactivated.
If a headlight flash is activated when

the high beam is off, the high beam

assist will remain activated.
The latest setting of the high beam

assist will remain after the ignition is

switched on again.

Headlight flash

Headlights when driving

abroad

The asymmetrical headlight beam

extends visibility at the edge of the

road at the passenger side.
However, when driving in countries

where traffic drives on the opposite

side of the road, adjust the headlights

to prevent dazzling of oncoming

traffic.

Vehicles with halogen headlight

system

The adjusting screws are located

above the headlight.

Turn the adjusting screws with the

screwdriver clockwise by half a turn.
To reset to left-hand traffic mode, turn

adjuster elements on both headlight

housings anticlockwise by half a turn.

Caution

Have the adjustment of the

headlights checked after

deactivation.
We recommend consulting a

workshop.

exterior ambient light both cornering

lights are switched on with reduced

intensity. The light is wide and

symmetrical.

Country light

Activated automatically at a speed of

approx. 55 km/h. The beam of light

and the brightness is different

between the left and the right side.

High beam assist

This feature allows high beam to

function as the main driving light at

night and when vehicle speed

exceeds 40 km/h.
It switches automatically to low beam

when:

● The camera or a sensor in the

windscreen detects the lights of

oncoming or preceding vehicles.

● The vehicle speed drops below

20 km/h.

● It is foggy or snowy.

compartment air deteriorates,

which may cause the vehicle

occupants to feel drowsy.

In warm and very humid ambient air

conditions, the windscreen may mist

up from outside when cold air is

directed towards it. If windscreen

mists up from outside, activate

windscreen wiper and deactivate l.

Warning

The exchange of fresh air is

reduced in air recirculation mode.

In operation without cooling the air

humidity increases, so the

windows may mist up from inside.

The quality of the passenger

compartment air deteriorates,

which may cause the vehicle

occupants to feel drowsy.

Air conditioning with the engine

not running

When ignition is off, the residual heat

or cooling in the system can be used

for climate control in passenger

compartment.

Auxiliary heater

Air heater

Quickheat is an electric auxiliary air

heater which automatically warms up

the passenger compartment more

quickly.

Air vents

Adjustable air vents

At least one air vent must be open

while the cooling is on.

To open the vent, turn the adjuster

wheel to the right. Adjust the air

amount at the vent outlet by turning

the adjuster wheel.

132

Climate control

Direct the flow of air by tilting and

swivelling the slats.
To close the vent, turn the adjuster

wheel to the left.

9 Warning

Do not attach any objects to the

slats of the air vents. Risk of

damage and injury in case of an

accident.

Fixed air vents

Additional air vents are located

beneath the windscreen and door

windows and in the foot wells.

Maintenance

Air intake

The air intake in front of the

windscreen in the engine

compartment must be kept clear to

allow air intake.
Remove any leaves, dirt or snow.

Air conditioning regular

operation

In order to ensure continuously

efficient performance, cooling must

be operated for a few minutes once a

month, irrespective of the weather

and time of year. Operation with

cooling is not possible when the

outside temperature is too low.

Service

For optimal cooling performance, it is

recommended to annually check the

climate control system, starting

three years after initial vehicle

registration, including:

● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and

evaporator drainage

● performance check

Note

Refrigerant R-134a contains

fluorinated greenhouse gases.
