Lights and visibility
The legal requirements regarding the use of
v
ehic
l
e lights in each country must be ob-
served.
The driver is personally responsible for the
correct use and adjustment of the lights in all
situations.
In vehicles with tow hitch fitted as standard:
if the trailer is connected electrically and is
fitted with a rear fog light, the vehicle’s fog
light is automatically switched off.
Audible warnings to advise the driver that
the lights have not been switched off
If the key is not in the ignition and the driver
door is open, an audible warning signal is
heard in the following cases: this is a remind-
er to turn off the lights.
●
When the parking light is on ››› page 129.
●
When the light switch is in position .
WARNING
The side lights or daytime driving lights are
not bright enough t
o illuminate the road
ahead and to ensure that other road users are
able to see you.
●
Always use your dipped beam head lights if
it is raining or if visibility is poor.
WARNING
If the headlights are set too high and the
main beam i
s not used correctly, there is a
risk of dazzling or distracting other road
users. This could result in a serious accident.
●
Always make sure that the headlights are
correctly adjusted.
●
Never use the main beam or headlight
flasher when it can dazzle others on the road.

wards and release the lever. The turn signal

nected at a specialised workshop for those
vehicles which do not have the menu

venience turn signals are operat-
ing (three flashes) and the other convenience

tion is switched on. The hazard warning

ed off ››› page 82.

If a turn signal on the vehicle or trailer is
faulty, the warning lamp flashes twice as fast
as usual.

Lights and visibility: functions
Parking light
When the p
ark
in
g light is switched on, (right
or left turn signal), the front side light and
the rear light on the corresponding side of
the vehicle stay lit. The parking lights will on-
ly work with the ignition off.
Daytime running lights
The daytime running lights reduce the risk of
accidents by increasing the visibility of the
vehicle. These are independent lights that
are built into the headlights and come on
each time the ignition is turned on if the light
switch is in position or 0.
