WARNING
Daytime running lights are not bright enough to let you see
ahead or be seen by others when it is dark.
Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it
is dark and whenever the weather is bad or visibility is poor.
Never use the daytime running lights to see where you are
going. They are not bright enough and will not let you see far
enough ahead for safety, especially at dusk or when it is dark.
Always switch on the low-beam headlights at dusk or when it is
dark.
The taillights do not come on with the daytime running lights.
Unless the taillights are on, a vehicle cannot be seen by others
in bad weather, at dusk, or when it is dark.
Even if automatic headlight control (!54/) is switched on, the
low-beam headlights may still not come on by themselves in
fog or heavy rain. You have to switch on the low-beam head-
lights manually.
In cool or humid weather, the insides of the headlights, the rear
lights, and turn signals can temporarily fog up. This is normal and
does not affect the service life of the vehicle's lighting system.
