Notes
• On vehicles
with
righthand drive the ar­ rangement of the switches differs. The

symbols
on the switches are however the

same
as on vehicles
with
lefthand drive.
• The use of the lighting described here is subject to local regulations.

The
headlights only work when the ignition

is
on. When the engine is being started and
after ignition has been switched off, the headlights are switched off automatically.

When
the side lights are on, a warning lamp lights up in the switch.

When
the lights are on, the level of the in­ strument lighting can be regulated by turn­ing the knurled disc on the
right
of the

switch.

range
control
* %\_)
With the electrical range control the
head­
light settings can be matched exactly to the
load
condition of vehicle. This prevents on­
coming traffic from being
dazzled
more than

is
unavoidable. At the same time the correct headlight beam setting provides the best

possible
visibility for the driver.

The
headlights can only be regulated
with

the dipped headlights switched on.
To
lower the beams,
turn
knurled disc from
the
basic
position (-) downwards.
Note

The
basic
headlight setting (only possible
with
headlight adjusting appliance) must al­

ways
be done
with
the headlight headlight range control knurled disc in the
basic
posi­

tion (-) - see page 128
also.

On
vehicles for some export countries when
the side lights are switched on
with
the igni­
tion switched on, the dipped headlights also

come
on
with
reduced intensity.

The fog lights
work
with

The rear fog light
works only
with
the fog lights or
with
the low or high beams.

Due
to the amount of
dazzle
it
causes
the

rear
fog
light
should only be switched on
when the visibility is very poor (in Germany
for example, below 50 metres).

Note
The
electrical system of the factory
fitted

that
when towing

a
trailer
fitted
with
rear fog lights, the rear

on the towing vehicle are automati­
cally
switched off.
