Daytime running lights

With the knob for headlamp control in posi-
tion and the car's electrical system in
key position II or the engine running, the day-
time running lights are activated automatically
in good light conditions.
Daytime running lights during the day.
DRL
Knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.
With the knob for headlamp control in
position the daytime running lights (Daytime
Running Lights - DRL) are activated automati-
cally when the car is driven during the day. A
light sensor on the top of the instrument
panel changes from daytime running lights to
dipped beam at twilight or when daylight
becomes too weak. Switching to dipped
beam also takes place if the windscreen wip-
ers or rear fog lamps are activated.
WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot
determine in all situations when daylight is
too weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist
and rain.
The driver is always responsible for ensur-
ing that the car is driven with its lights in a
correct state and in accordance with appli-
cable traffic regulations.
