Lights and visibility
WARNING
The side lights or daytime running lights are
not bright enough to illuminate the road
ahead and to ensure that other road users are
able to see you.
Always use your dipped beam head lights if
●
it is raining or if visibility is poor.
WARNING
If the headlights are set too high and not
used correctly, there is a risk of dazzling or
distracting other road users. This could result
in a serious accident.
● Always make sure that the headlights are
correctly adjusted.
Daytime running lights
The daytime running lights consist of individ-
ual lights, integrated in the front headlights.
By connecting the daytime running lights,
these lights are switched on
page 131.
The daytime running lights switch on every
time the ignition is switched on, if the switch
is in positions  or , according to the level
of exterior lighting.
When the light switch is in position , a
light sensor automatically switches dipped
beam on and off (including the control and
instrument lighting) or the daytime running
lights depending on the level of exterior
lighting.
WARNING
● Never drive with daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
● On vehicles with rear lights with bulbs,
when activating the daytime running light
the rear lights are not switched on. A vehicle
which does not have the rear lights on may
not be visible to other drivers in the dark-
ness, in the case of heavy rain or in condi-
tions of poor visibility.
