positions of the controls are identical.

■

Using the system
WARNING (Continued)
The automatic driving lamp control  only operates as a support and
■
does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the lights and, if
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing light condi-
tions. The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under
these conditions we recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
■
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by oth-
58
er oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is
59
dark or if visibility is poor.

Note

The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
61
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although
61
the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist
62
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
