Daytime running lamps / Sidelamps
(LEDs)
The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) come on automatically   when   the   engine   is   started. In
  some   weather   conditions   (e.g.   low  
t

emperature   or   humidity),   the   presence  
o

f   misting   on   the   internal   sur face   of   the  
g

lass   of   the   headlamps   and   rear   lamps  
i

s   normal;   it   disappears   after   the   lamps  
h

ave   been   on   for   a   few   minutes.
They   provide   the   following   functions:
-  D aytime   running   lamps   (lighting   control  
s

talk   in   position   "0 " or " AUTO " with
adequate
  light   level).
-
 
S
idelamps   (lighting   control   stalk   in  
p

osition "AUTO"

The driver must ensure that passengers use the   seat   belts   correctly   and   that   they   are   all  
r

estrained   securely   before   setting   off.
Wherever
  you   are   seated   in   the   vehicle,  
a

lways fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do
  not   interchange   the   seat   belt   buckles   as  
t

hey   will   not   fulfil   their   role   fully.
The
  seat   belts   are   fitted   with   an   inertia   reel  
p

ermitting   automatic   adjustment   of   the  
l

ength   of   the   strap   to   your   size.   The   seat   belt  
i

s   stowed   automatically   when   not   in   use.
Before
  and   after   use,   ensure   that   the   seat  
b

elt   is   reeled   in   correctly.
The
  lower   part   of   the   strap   must   be  
p

ositioned   as   low   as   possible   on   the   pelvis.
The
  upper   part   must   be   positioned   in   the  
h

ollow   of   the   shoulder.
The
  inertia   reels   are   fitted   with   an   automatic  
l
