Foglamps
In clear weather or rain, during the day
or at night, it is prohibited to switch on
the front or rear foglamps. 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 beam headlamps manually
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Switch off the foglamps when they are
no longer necessary.Rear foglamps

period of time that depends on the state
of charge in battery (entering energy-
saving mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
