Daytime running lights

Daytime running lights during the day.
DRL
Knob for headlamp control in AUTO position.
With the knob for headlamp control in
position the daytime running lights (Daytime
Running Lights - DRL) are activated automati-
cally when the car is driven during daytime. A
light sensor on the top of the instrument
panel changes from daytime running lights to
dipped beam at twilight or when daylight
becomes too weak. Changing to dipped
beam also takes place if the windscreen wip-
ers or rear fog lamps are activated.

and rain.
The driver is always responsible for ensur-

correct state and in accordance with appli-
