Night security illumination
Turn exterior lamp switch to position
U.
At low ambient light conditions and with the engine 
having been switched off, the exterior lamps (fog lamps 
and parking lamps) switch on for added illumination, 
(except in daytime running mode). After the last door 
has been closed the lamp-on time period commences.
See the individual setting menu “LIGHTING” –
“HEADLAMPS DELAYED SWITCH–OFF” on page 114, 
for instructions on how to activate the function.
The lamp-on time period for night security illumination 
can be set at several different timed levels from 0 (off) to 
60 seconds, see the individual setting menu 
“LIGHTING” – “HEADLAMPS DELAYED SWITCH–OFF” 
on page 114.
Notes:
Within 10 minutes after closing the last door the night 
security illumination can be reactivated by opening a 
door.
If after switching the engine off, no doors are opened or 
if after opening the doors or tailgate they are not closed, 
the night security illumination will switch off 
automatically after 60 seconds.
Deactivating night security illumination temporarily:
Turn the electronic key in starter switch to position 0 
then to position 2 and back to position 0 again before 
getting out of the vehicle. The night security 
illumination will not be activated when the door is 
opened.
