ment
Clear vision
The headlights only work when the ignition is switched on . While
starting the engine or when switching off the ignition, the head ­
lights will go off and only the side marker lights will remain lit .
& WARNING
Crashe s can happen when you cannot see the road ahead and
when you c annot be seen by other motori sts.
• Always tu rn on the headlight s so th at you can see ahead and
so that others can see your ca r from the ba ck.
[ i ] Tips
• I f you remove the ignition from the ignition lock wh ile the head ­
lights are still on, a buzzer will sound as long as the driver's doo r is
open to remind you to switch off the lights .
• Always observe the spec ific local regulations for your area when
to use your lights .
• I n coo l or damp weather conditions the headlights may fog over
tempo ra rily on the inside .
- The critical factor is the t emperature diff erence between the
interior and the ex te rior of the headlight lens .
- With the main beams switched on, the light -emitting area will
be free o f condensation after a short time, however the edges of
the glass may still be fogged .
- The rear lights and turn signa ls may also be affected.
- This physical phenomenon has no effect on the life of your
vehicle 's lighting system. •
