The sidelamps and dipped beam head-

The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a message
in the multifunction screen.

Turn ring A to a position other than

the presence of misting on the
internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the
lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
