LIGHTING CONTROLS
System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the
vehicle are designed to adapt the driv-
er's visibility progressively according to
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 installed to fulfi l the
requirements of particular conditions of
visibility:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from
afar,
- front foglamps for even better for-
ward vision.

Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available according to
the following options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic illumination of headlamps.
