Operation of the light function
Daylight running lights (DAY LIGHT)

Front and rear fog light
Hazard warning light system
Parking light
Driving abroad
Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is on.
The arrangement of the controls right-hand drive models may differ from the
layout shown in » Fig. 40 on page 47. The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are identical.
WARNING
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
■
lights.
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
■
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by oth-
er oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is
dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
■
switched on.
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
■
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although
the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
