Daytime running lights
The car has sensors that detect the light condi-
tions in the surroundings. The daytime running
lights are switched on when the rotating ring on
the stalk switch is in position
, or
as well as when the car's electrical system
is in ignition position II or when the car is run-
ning. In position
, the headlamps change
automatically to dipped beam in weak daylight or
darkness.
Daytime running lights during the day.
DRL
Stalk switch rotating ring in AUTO position.
If the stalk switch rotating ring is in the
position, the daytime running lights (DRL
24
) are
switched on when the car is driven in daylight.
The car automatically changes lighting from day-
time running light to dipped beam in weak day-
light or darkness. Changing to dipped beam also
takes place if the front fog lamp* and/or rear fog
lamp are activated.
At stationary when the car is running, the posi-
tion lamps are switched on instead of other light-
ing, if the rotating ring is moved to the position
for position lamps,
, from another position.
WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot
determine in all situations when daylight is too
weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist and
rain.
The driver is always responsible for ensuring
that the car is driven with the correct beam
pattern for the traffic situation and in accord-
ance with applicable traffic regulations.
