the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.

Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,

Model with rear foglamps
only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamps 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 switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Lamps on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual lamps
mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.
