WARNING
If the exterior lamp switch is set to posi-
tion Ã, the headlamps will not be auto-
matically switched on under foggy condi-
tions.
To minimize risk to you and to others, acti-
vate headlamps by turning exterior lamp
switch to position L when driving or
when traffic and/or ambient lighting con-
ditions require you to do so.
In low ambient lighting conditions, only
switch from position à to L with the
vehicle at a standstill in a safe location.
Switching from position à to L will
briefly switch off the headlamps. Doing so
while driving in low ambient lighting con-
ditions may result in an accident.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid to the driver. The driver is responsible
for the operation of the vehicle’s lights at
all times.
