Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Switching lights on and off

Headlight beam adjustment
Function DAY LIGHT (daytime running lights)
Turn signal and main beam light
Fog lights
Rear fog light
Hazard warning light system
Parking light
Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in » Fig. 22 on page 31. The symbols which mark the switch po-
sitions are identical, however.
WARNING
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 other
oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
■
national legal requirements.
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
■
lights.
Note
If the light switch is in the position , the ignition key is removed and the driv-
■
er's door is open, an audible warning signal will sound. The audible warning signal
is switched off by means of the door contact when the driver's door is closed (ig-
nition off), however, the side lights remain on to illuminate the parked vehicle if
necessary.
The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
■
switched on.
In the event of cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can be misted
■
31
up from inside. The temperature difference between interior and external area of
32
the headlight lenses is decisive. When the driving lights are switched on, the light
outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight
32
lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. It also concerns reverse light
32
and turn signal lights. This mist has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
