foglamps
In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear
foglamp are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to swit ch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as the brightness sensor may d etect
suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front foglamps and the re ar foglamp when they
are no longer necessary. Switching off of the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except
for dipped beam if guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after
the ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, ro-
tate ring
A to the "0" position - lamps
off, then to the desired position.
On opening the driver’s door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a maximum duration of
thirty minutes to prevent dischar-
ging of the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
