the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in

the prevailing light, visibility and traffic

traffic conditions do not allow the main beam

headlamps to be lit:

– The dipped beam headlamps

remain lit. These indicator lamps

light up on the instrument panel.

The function is deactivated if the foglamps

are switched on or if the system detects

poor visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain,

snowfall).

When the foglamps are switched off or when

the visibility conditions become favourable

again, the function is automatically reactivated.

This indicator lamp goes out when the

function is deactivated.
