In vehicles that do not have the correspond-
ing menu, this function can be deactivated in
a specialised workshop.
WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals,
or forgetting to deactivate them can con-
fuse other road users. This could result in a
serious accident.
Always give warning when you are going
●
to change lane, overtake or when turning,
activating the turn signal in good time.
As soon as you have finished changing
●
lane, overtaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause
accidents and serious injury, as the main
beam may distract or dazzle other drivers.
Note
If the convenience turn signals are oper-
●
ating (three flashes) and the other conven-
ience turn signals are switched on, the ac-
tive part stops flashing and only flashes
once in the new part selected.
The turn signal only works when the igni-
●
tion is switched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.
Lights and visibility
If a trailer turn signal malfunctions, the
●
control lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will
flash at double speed.
The main beam headlights can only be
●
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
In cold or damp weather conditions, the
●
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal
and in no way effects the useful life of the
vehicle lighting system.
