vehicle are designed to adapt the driver's
visibility progressively according to the
climatic conditions:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clear-
ly when the road is clear.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving conditions:


- rear foglamps,

- front fog lamps with cornering lighting,

- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering,

- daytime running lamps to be more
visible during the day,

- guide-me-home and welcome light-
ing to facilitate access to the vehicle,

- parking lamps as vehicle position
markers.

Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending on
whether the following options are fi tted:


- guide-me-home lighting,

- welcome lighting,

- daytime running lamps,

- directional lighting,

- automatic illumination of headlamps.

In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity),
