Daylight running lamps
In certain countries it is a legal requirement for
the lamps to be on during the hours of daylight.
With the rotary collar in the OFF position, low
beam headlamps, side lamps, tail, number
plate lamps and, where fitted, side marker
lamps will switch on automatically with the
following conditions:
• The ignition is on (market dependent).
• The vehicle gear selector out of park.
• The park brake is not applied (is released).
Condensation
In certain circumstances, misting may occur
on the inside of a lamp lens. This is caused by
natural changes in environmental conditions.
This misting is not detrimental to lamp
performance and will clear during normal
usage.
AUTOLAMPS
A light sensor, mounted on the front of the
fascia, monitors exteri or light levels and
automatically switches the side lamps and low
beam headlamps on or off.
The ignition system must be on for full
automatic light operation.
When light fades towards dusk, the side lamps
and headlamps will sw itch on automatically.
At dawn, as light increases, the side lamps and
headlamps switch off automatically.
Do not cover the sensor and keep the
windscreen clean. Obstruct ing the light in this
area of the sensor may lead to unwanted
operation of the side lamps and headlamps.
Note: Low exterior light levels, caused by
adverse weather conditi ons, may also cause
the autolamp system to switch on the side and
headlamps.
Windscreen wiper detection
This function only operat es when autolamps is
selected. The side lamps and headlamps will
switch on automatically if the windscreen
wipers are switched on for 20 seconds or
more. Once the windscreen wipers are
switched off, the side lamps and headlamps
will automatically switch off two minutes later.

DIRECTION INDICATORS
The direction indicators are operated using the
indicator stalk. Move the stalk up or down, to
indicate a right or left turn. A green warning
indicator will flash in the instrument panel.
The indicators will operate three times (e.g. to
indicate a lane change) if the stalk is briefly
pushed up or down. Lane change flash can be
disabled or enabled by a Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Note: Should a direction indicator bulb fail, the
corresponding green warning indicator will
flash at twice the normal rate and the audible
ticking will sound at twice the normal rate.
HEADLAMPS - DRIVING ABROAD
Note: The headlamps must be removed in
order to change the beam pattern.
See REMOVING A HEADLAMP (page 81).
The tourist lever allows you to adjust the
headlamps to the correct beam pattern for
driving in countries wher e vehicles drive on the
left, or the right.
When new, the lever will be set to the correct
position for the country in which the vehicle is
sold. To change the pattern for driving on the
other side of the road, move the lever to the
opposite position.
Note: When changing the beam pattern using
the lever, ensure that you change the lever
position on both headlamps.

Low screen wash
If the low washer fluid warning is on, the
windscreen wipers will not operate when the
wash/wipe is activated, even though there may
be washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
which is sprayed onto the screen. This is to
prevent damage to the wiper blades, scratching
of the glass or smearing dirt across the screen.
Normal, fast or single wipe can be selected
manually, to clear any spray from the
windscreen.
Timed jet function
If the timed jet func tion is configured,
the washer jets will only operate on the
up stroke of the wipers.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

the wipers will operate four seconds
after a wash wipe cycle has finished, to
clear any remaining drips from the windscreen.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

If a washer jet becomes blocked, use a thin
strand of wire to unblock the jet by inserting
the wire into the jet. Ensure that the wire is
completely remove d after unblocking.
HEADLAMP WASHERS

with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fourth

or sponge, using wa rm soapy water.
If the wipers fail to clear the windscreen when
operated, check the cond ition of the blade and
replace if necessary.

adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid
may cause irritation to the eyes and
skin. Always read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING
