the driver's visibility progressively in relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.
ADDITIONAL LIGHTING
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the requirements of particular driving
conditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.
PROGRAMMING
Various automatic lighting control modes are also available depending
on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
