them on/off.
When the lighting is switched off automatically
("AUTO" position) the foglamps and the dipped
beam headlamps remain on.
Switching on the foglamps is prohibited
in clear weather or in rain, both day and
night. In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers. They must
only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may
vary depending on country).
Do not forget to switch off the foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off

desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
