Model with rear foglamp only Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp 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
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
m a y d e t e c t s u f fi c i e n t l i g h t .
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.
Lighting 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 igni-
tion off and in manual lighting 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.
