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

should switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps
manually, as the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the
front and rear foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
