Risk of accident
If the light switch is set to U:
the headlamps could automatically
switch off temporarily as a consequence
of strong glare (e.g. from oncoming traf-
fic).
the lights do not switch on automatically
in foggy conditions.
Set the light switch to B in good time.
You will otherwise endanger yourself and
others.
For this reason, only move the light switch
from U to B when it is dark if the
vehicle is stationary. You could otherwise
cause an accident if the headlamps were to
switch off temporarily.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid. You are responsible for the vehicle's
lighting at all times.
Turn the light switch to U.
The side lamps are switched on/off
automatically when the key is in posi-
tion 1 in the ignition lock ( page 23).
The dipped-beam headlamps, side
lamps and licence plate lighting are
switched on/off automatically when
the engine is running.

cannot switch on the front or rear foglamps. To
switch on the front foglamps, you must first turn
the light switch to B.
