headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes

the battery. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
th

e lighting goes off when you switch
off the ignition, but you can always
switch it on again using the lighting
