Warning!
If the exterior lamp switch is set to
position U, the headlamps will not be
automatically switched on under foggy
conditions.
To minimize risk to you and to others,
activate headlamps by turning exterior
lamp switch to position B when
driving or when traffic and/or ambient
lighting conditions require you to do so.
In low ambient lighting conditions, only
switch from position U to B with
the vehicle at a standstill in a safe
location. Switching from position U
to B will briefly switch off the
headlamps. Doing so while driving in low
ambient lighting conditions may result in
an accident.
The automatic headlamp feature is only
an aid to the driver. The driver is
responsible for the operation of the
vehicle's lights at all times.
