WARNING
The parking lights or daytime running lights are not bright enough to illuminate the road sufficiently and to be seen by other road users.
Always turn on the low beam headlight in the dark, when it is raining, and when visibility is poor.
The taillights do not switch on with the daytime running lights. A vehicle without its taillights turned on may not be seen by other road users in the dark, in
the fog, and when visibility is poor.
WARNING
Automatic headlight control
only turns the low beam headlights on and off when there are changes in brightness.
Turn on the low beam headlights manually in certain weather conditions, such as in fog.
When reverse gear is engaged, the cornering light on both sides of the vehicle may turn on to better illuminate the surroundings while maneuvering.
