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.

The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle

are designed to adapt the driver's visibility

progressively according to the ambient light

level and weather:

-

sidelamps, to be seen,

dipped beam headlamps to see without

dazzling other drivers,

-

main beam headlamps to see clearly when

the road is clear.

prohibited. In these situations, the

power of its beam may dazzle other

drivers. It should only be used in fog or

responsibility to switch on the foglamp

and dipped beam headlamps manually

as the sunshine sensor may detect

sufficient light.

level or the wipers are switched off, the lighting

is switched off automatically.
