The main beam headlights will go out fol-

The sensor cannot detect the presence of

case.
DIRECTION INDICATORS fig. 45
Push the stalk to (stable) position:
❒ up (position 1): right-hand indicator;
❒ down (position 2): left-hand indicator;

onds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally.

el will light up and the corresponding mes-
sage will appear on the display (see
