The low beams remain on independent of
the ambient lighting conditions when you

switch on the fog lamps.
With the daytime driving lamps activated, the
low beams are always switched on in this switch
position with the ignition key in position 2.

<

The automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal

judgment in determining when the lamps
should be switched on in response to ambient
lighting conditions. For example, the system
cannot detect fog. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lamps manually
under these conditions.

control system that enables better illumination
of the road surface. Depending on the steering
angle and other assumptions, the light from the
headlamp follows the course of the road.

The parking lamps or low beams must
be switched on for the fog lamps to
operate. The green indicator lamp in

the instrument cluster lights up when the fog
lamps are switched on.
