LIGHTING CONTROLS

System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.

Main lighting

The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt the
lighting progressively in relation to the
climatic conditions and so improve the
driver's visibility:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clearly
when the road is clear,

- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to fulfi l the
requirements of particular driving con-
ditions:


- a rear foglamp to be seen from a
distance,

- front foglamps for even better visibility,

- daytime running lamps to be seen
during the day.



Programming

Various automatic lighting control modes
are also available according to the fol-
lowing options:
