exception of daytime running lamps and
tail lamps.
Rotate the control to position (A) for

automatic light control.

Rotate the control to position (1) for
sidelamps or position (2) for headlamps.

Automatic Light Control
The sidelamps and lo beam headlamps are
switched on automatically when ambient
light falls below a predetermined level.
To switch on automatic light control, turn
the light switch to position (A).
NOTE: If the vehicle detects rain
whilst the light switch is set to
position (A) the lo beam headlamps
will switch on automatically,
regardless of current external light
levels.
NOTE: With the light switch in
position (A) and the rear fog lamp
switched on, the lo beam headlamps
will also switch on irrespective of
ambient light conditions. When the
rear fog lamp is switched off, the lo
beam headlamps will also switch off
dependent on ambient light
conditions.

Sidelamps

The sidelamps and the daytime running
lamps are a combined series of light-
emitting diodes located below the
headlamp. The sidelamps operate at a
lower intensity than the daytime running
lamps. See Daytime Running Lamps,
page 1.34.
The sidelamps, tail lamps and license plate
lamps illuminate when the light switch is
turned to position (1).
The sidelamp notification light on the
Driver Display illuminates.
NOTE: The lo beam headlamps will
also switch on automatically if
ambient light falls below a
predetermined level.

Lo Beam Headlamps

To switch on the headlamps, turn the light
switch to (2).
The lo beam notification light on the
Driver Display illuminates.
NOTE: On your McLaren the same
headlamp lo beam setting applies
for driving on either the left-hand or
right-hand side of the road.
