Daylight running lamps
In certain countries it is a legal requirement for
the lamps to be on during the hours of daylight.
With the rotary collar in the OFF position, low
beam headlamps, side lamps, tail, number
plate lamps and, where fitted, side marker
lamps will switch on automatically with the
following conditions:
• The ignition is on (market dependent).
• The vehicle gear selector out of park.
• The park brake is not applied (is released).
Condensation
In certain circumstances, misting may occur
on the inside of a lamp lens. This is caused by
natural changes in environmental conditions.
This misting is not detrimental to lamp
performance and will clear during normal
usage.
AUTOLAMPS
A light sensor, mounted on the front of the
fascia, monitors exteri or light levels and
automatically switches the side lamps and low
beam headlamps on or off.
The ignition system must be on for full
automatic light operation.
When light fades towards dusk, the side lamps
and headlamps will sw itch on automatically.
At dawn, as light increases, the side lamps and
headlamps switch off automatically.
Do not cover the sensor and keep the
windscreen clean. Obstruct ing the light in this
area of the sensor may lead to unwanted
operation of the side lamps and headlamps.
Note: Low exterior light levels, caused by
adverse weather conditi ons, may also cause
the autolamp system to switch on the side and
headlamps.
Windscreen wiper detection
This function only operat es when autolamps is
selected. The side lamps and headlamps will
switch on automatically if the windscreen
wipers are switched on for 20 seconds or
more. Once the windscreen wipers are
switched off, the side lamps and headlamps
will automatically switch off two minutes later.

DIRECTION INDICATORS
The direction indicators are operated using the
indicator stalk. Move the stalk up or down, to
indicate a right or left turn. A green warning
indicator will flash in the instrument panel.
The indicators will operate three times (e.g. to

disabled or enabled by a Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Note: Should a direction indicator bulb fail, the
corresponding green warning indicator will

HEADLAMPS - DRIVING ABROAD
Note: The headlamps must be removed in
order to change the beam pattern.
See REMOVING A HEADLAMP (page 81).

left, or the right.
When new, the lever will be set to the correct
position for the country in which the vehicle is
sold. To change the pattern for driving on the
