Battery discharge protection
3
Some consumers such as the interior
lighting switch themselves off after approx.
30 minutes if the ignition is off in order to
protect the battery charge. Misted light covers The inside of the lamp bezels may mist
briefly when subjected to adverse wet and
cold winter conditions, strong rain or after
the vehicle is washed. The misting will clear
up on its own after a brief period. This can
be facilitated by switching on the lights.
Headlamps when driving abroad The asymmetrical dipped beam increases
the field of vision on the passenger side of
the lane.
This causes glare for oncoming traffic if the
vehicle is driven in countries where traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road.
To avoid glare, have headlamps adjusted
in a wor kshop o r have c overs fitted to both
headlamps.
