Tips
•
If you remove the ignition from the ignition lock while the head -
l ights are still on, a buzzer will sound as long as the driver's door is
open to remind you to switch off the lights .
•
Always observe the specific local regulations for your area when
to use your lights .
•
In coo l o r damp weather conditio ns the headlights may fog over
temporar ily on the inside .
- The critical fac t or is the temperature difference between t he
interior and the exterior of the headlight lens.
- With the main beams switched on, the light -emitting area will
be free of condensation after a short time, however the edges of
the g lass may st ill be fogged.
- This physica l phenomenon has no effect on the life of your
veh icle's lighting system .
