situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or snow.

responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.Switching off the lamps
when the ignition is
