drivers. They should only be used in fog or
falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn off the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp as soon as they are
no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
