Position lamps can be used so that other road users can see the car if it stops or is parked. The position lamp is switched on with the rotating ring on the stalk switch.

Turn the rotating ring to the P5-1507 Symbol position light position - the position lamps are switched on (number plate lighting is switched on at the same time).

If the car is in drive mode, the daytime running lights are switched on instead of the front position lamps.

If the car is stationary but running, the rotating ring can be moved to the position lamp P5-1507 Symbol position light position from another position to switch on only the position lamps instead of other lighting.

When driving for more than 30 seconds at max. 10 km/h (approx. 6 mph), or if the speed exceeds 10 km/h (approx. 6 mph), the daytime running lights are switched on. The driver should turn to a position other than P5-1507 Symbol position light .

If the tailgate is opened when it is dark outside, the rear position lamps come on (if not already switched on) to warn road users approaching from behind.

Adaptive rear light function

The rear position lamps have an adaptive function. The brightness of the rear position lamps is adapted depending on the light conditions in the surroundings. When it is light outside, the rear position lamps are illuminate more brightly to make them more visible to other vehicles. When it is dark outside, the rear position lamps illuminate less brightly to avoid dazzling other vehicles.

Number plate lighting and trailer lighting are not affected by the adaptive function.
