tions. A light sensor then monitors the ambient
lighting conditions and automatically switches
from LED DRL to the low beam headlights in
weaker ambient light (and will switch back to
DRL when the ambient light becomes brighter).
The LED DRLs will also switch off automatically
(and the low beams will switch on) if:
•The rear fog light is switched on
•The windshield wipers are switched on for
more than 10 seconds
WARNING
•DRL is a driving aid designed to help
conserve electrical current. This system
cannot always determine if the ambient
lighting conditions are sufficient for
switching from low beams to DRL (or
vice versa). It is always the driver's
responsibility to visually determine if the
low beam headlights should be used.

for operating the vehicle in a safe man-
ner.
