Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Switching the light on/off
Headlight beam adjustment
Daylight running lights (DAY LIGHT)
Turn signal and main beam lights
Halogen projector headlights with cornering light function
Fog lights
Foglights with the CORNER function
Rear fog light
Tourist lights
Hazard warning light system
Parking lights
Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is on.
The layout of the controls differs in part from that shown in
page 59 on right-hand drive vehicles. The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are identical.
WARNING
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-
er oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is
dark or if visibility is poor.
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
■
national legal requirements.
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
■
lights.
Note
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet areas are free from condensation after a short time, al-
though the headlight lenses may still be misted up around the edge. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
