Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is on.
The arrangement of the controls right-hand drive models may differ from the layout shown in » Fig. 35 on page 48 . The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are identical.
WARNING■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by oth-
er oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is
dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
■ The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
switched on.■
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although
the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.

A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty
fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
■
