Precondition: automatic daytime
riding light is switched off.
If the daytime riding light
is switched on when it is
dark, the vision deteriorates and
oncoming traffic may be dazzled.
Do not use the daytime riding
light when it is dark.
By comparison with the
low-beam headlight, the
daytime riding lights make the
vehicle more visible to oncoming
traffic. This improves daytime
visibility.
Start the engine.
