Automatic dipped beam, main beam
1. Turn the ignition key to position II.
2. Dipped beam is activated by means of
turning the headlamp control (1) clockwise
to the end position.
3. Main beam is activated by means of mov-
ing the left-hand stalk switch towards the
steering wheel to the end position and
releasing it, see page 56.
The lamps are switched off automatically when
the ignition key is turned to position I or 0.
Position/parking lamps
Position/parking lamps can be switched on
irrespective of ignition key position.
Turn the headlamp control (1) to the centre
position.
When the ignition key is in position II the posi-
tion/parking lamps and number plate lighting
are always on.
Headlamp levelling
The load in the car changes the vertical align-
ment of the headlamp beam, which could daz-
zle oncoming motorists. Avoid this by adjusting
the height of the beam.
1. Turn the ignition key to position II.
2. Turn the headlamp control (1) to one of the
end positions.
3. Roll the thumbwheel (3) up or down
respectively to raise or lower beam align-
ment.
Cars with Bi-Xenon headlamps* have auto-
matic headlamp levelling, so there is no thumb-
wheel (3).
