The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle are designed to adapt the lighting progressively in relation to the climatic conditions and soensure the best visibility for the driver:
- sidelamps, to be seen,

the road is clear.

Other lamps are provided to fulfil the
requirements of par ticular driving conditions:


- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,

- front foglamps for even better visibility,

- daytime running lamps to be seen during
