Driving

Exterior lights

The exterior lights are controlled by the left stalk, the center display, and the hazard warning lights button on the overhead console.

Warning
Make sure to always keep your low beam on in dark driving conditions. Failure to do so is both illegal and very dangerous, and can result in an accident leading to death or serious injury.
Warning
Use adaptive driving beam or make sure to manually turn off your high beam when coming close to other cars. Failure to do so could blind your fellow road users, which could result in an accident, causing death or serious injury.
Warning
Make sure to check that all exterior lights work before driving. While the car will usually notice on its own that a light has failed, it is the responsibility of the driver to know that all lights are working. Driving with broken lights is dangerous and can be illegal.

Left stalk light controls

The left stalk is used to control the high beam and the direction indicator lights.

High beam

Controlling the high beam with the left stalk

To control the high beam with the left stalk:

  • Move the stalk forward/backward to turn on/off the high beam. Move the stalk forward again to switch between manual high beam and adaptive driving beam.
  • Pull the stalk backward to flash the high beam.

Adaptive driving beam automatically dims parts of the high beam to prevent blinding oncoming traffic, while still keeping the road ahead illuminated. Adaptive driving beam is automatically turned on if the surroundings are dark and the speed is at least 30 km/h.

The exterior lights settings need to be set to Auto lights symbol for the adaptive driving beam to activate.

When adaptive driving beam is active, returning the stalk to the neutral position resumes adaptive driving beam. This means that the high beam can still be active if the stalk is returned to the neutral position, as long as the system is not detecting oncoming traffic.

Note
The high beam can only be used when the car is in driving mode and the low beam is turned on.

Indicator lights

The indicator lights are controlled by the left stalk. While the indicator lights are active, the Left indicator or Right indicator symbol will flash on the driver display.

Controlling indicator lights with the left stalk
  1. Move the left stalk upward/downward slightly to activate the indicator lights on the right/left side of the car for three flashes.
  2. Move the left stalk upward/downward until it stays in place to activate the indicator lights on the right/left side of the car continuously.
Note
Do not block the rain and light sensor in the center of the upper section of the windshield. Doing so could prevent the auto light or auto wiper functions from working properly.

Some lights are only controlled through the center display.
