Warning
Danger of accidents When visibility is poor, the daytime running light is not a sub-
stitute for the low beam.
Automatic switching between the daytime running light and low beam may only be
partially available when visibility is significantly impaired due to fog, snow or rain.
–
Ensure that the appropriate type of lighting is always selected.
–
If necessary switch off the daytime running lights using the menu before going
on a ride or when stopped so that the low beam is switched on permanently.

Note the legal regulations regarding the daytime running light.
The daytime running light/parking light is integrated in the main headlight.
The daytime running light (DRL) can be switched on when visibility conditions are good.
Activate the daytime running light in the combination instrument. Control is provided by
the brightness sensor in the combination instrument. When visibility conditions are good,
the low beam is switched off and the daytime running light is switched on. It is four times
brighter than the parking light. When the daytime running light is switched off, it serves as
a parking light.
