On vehicles with separate lights* for daylight driving lights in the fog lights or in the
front bumper, the parking lights and the licence plate light do not come on when acti-
vating the function daylight driving lights (neither front nor rear).
If the vehicle is not equipped with separate lights* for daylight driving lights, the
combination of the low beam, the parking lights (front and rear) including the licence
plate light is used as daylight driving lights.

the function daylight driving lights.
