Light conditions

Switching on the lights
The control lever for the lights is located
to the left of the steering wheel.
By turning the rotary control from its de
fault position of 0, the following occurs:
Stage 1 the parking lights are switched
on.
Stage 2 low beam lights are switched on.
Stage 3 the rear fog lamp and the low
beam lights are switched on.
>Note!
When you switch the ignition off, the low
beam lights are also switched off. They
come on again automatically when the en
gine is restarted.
>Note!
If you drive in countries in which the
side of the road driven on is opposite
that of the country in which the vehicle is
approved, oncoming traffic may be
blinded by the asymmetric low beam
lights. In this case, have the headlights
converted to the symmetric low beam
lights for these countries. This conver
sion can be carried out in a qualified
specialist workshop such as a smart cen
ter.
