Parking lamps/low beams
0 Lights off and daytime running lamps*
1 Parking lamps and daytime running lamps*
2 Low beams
3 Automatic headlamp control, daytime running lamps* and Adaptive Head Light*
Parking lamps
In switch position 1, the front, rear and side vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the parking lamps for parking.
▶ The parking lamps drain the battery. Do not leave them switched on for long periods of time, otherwise it may no longer be possible to start the engine. It is preferable to switch on the roadside parking lamps on one side.
Low beams
The low beams light up when the light switch is in position 2 and the ignition is on. If the light switch remains in position 2, the exterior lamps are switched off automatically when the driver’s door is opened while the ignition is off. Switch on the parking lamps if required as described under Parking lamps.
Automatic headlamp control
In switch position 3, the system activates the low beams and switches them on or off in response to changes in ambient light conditions, for instance, in a tunnel, at dawn and dusk and in case of precipitation. Adaptive Head Light* is active. The LED next to the symbol is illuminated when the low beams are on.
A blue sky with the sun low on the horizon can cause the lights to be switched on. If desired, the light switch can be left in position 3. The exterior lighting is automatically switched off after switching off the vehicle.
⚠ The automatic headlamp control cannot serve as a substitute for your personal judgment in determining when the lamps should be switched on in response to ambient lighting conditions. For example, the sensors cannot detect fog of hazy weather. To avoid safety risks, you should always switch on the low beams manually under these conditions.
Pathway lighting
When you activate the headlamp flasher after parking the vehicle and switching off the lamps, the low beams will come on for a brief period. You can set the duration or deactivate the function via iDrive.

Daytime running lamps*
If desired, the light switch can remain in positions 0, 1 or 3. In positions 0 and 3 the exterior lighting is automatically switched off after the vehicle is switched off.

Adaptive Head Light*
The concept
Adaptive Head Light is a variable headlamp control system that enables better illumination of the road surface. Depending on the steering angle and other parameters, the light from the headlamp follows the course of the road.
Activating Adaptive Head Light
In switch position 3, the Adaptive Head Light is active and the automatic headlamp control is switched on. To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the Adaptive Head Light is not active when driving in reverse and points toward the passenger side when the vehicle is stopped.
