Surround lighting in the exterior mirrors

The surround lighting in the exterior mirrors lights up the area directly around the doors while you are entering or exiting the vehicle. The surround lighting is switched on when the vehicle is unlocked, when opening the driver door or when the coming home or leaving home lighting function is active. If the vehicle is equipped with a light sensor, the surround lighting in the exterior mirrors will only be switched on when it is dark.

When the Coming home function is switched on, no audible warning signal will sound when the driver door is opened to remind you that a light is still switched on.
