Lights and visibility
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 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.
Daytime driving light
The daytime driving lights consist of individu-
al lights, integrated in the front headlights.
With the daylight driving lights on, only these
lights switch on .
The daytime driving lights switch on every
time the ignition is switched on, if the switch
is in positions or , according to the level
of exterior lighting.
When the light switch is in position , a
light sensor automatically switches dipped
beam on and off (including the control and
instrument lighting) or the daytime driving
lights depending on the level of exterior
lighting.
WARNING
Never drive with daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driving light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, in the case
of heavy rain or in conditions of poor visibili-
ty.

.
In
v
ehicles that do not have the correspond-
ing menu, this function can be deactivated in
a specialised workshop.
WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals, or
forgetting to deactivate them can confuse
other road users. This could result in a seri-
ous accident.
Always give warning when you are going to
change lane, overtake or when turning, acti-
vating the turn signal in good time.
As soon as you have finished changing
lane, overtaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off.
WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause ac-
cidents and serious injury, as the main beam
may distract or dazzle other drivers.
Note
The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is switched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off.
If a trailer turn signal malfunctions, the
control lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will flash
at double speed.
The main beam headlights can only be
sw
itched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
