Model with rear foglamp only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front fog lamps and
the rear fog lamp are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
fog lamps and dipped headlamps

Do not forget to switch off the front
fog lamps and the rear fog lamp
when they are no longer necessary.
Lights on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual light-
ing mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.
