Switching on and off the parking light on one side of the vehicle
When the parking light is switched on, the headlight on that side of the vehicle will turn on as well as the side light
and sections of the taillight. As a rule, a parking light lit on only one side of the vehicle can remain lit for twice as long
as continuous parking lights on both sides of the vehicle:
1. Switch the ignition off.
2. Move the lever out of the center position into the required position→ fig. 1.
3. To switch off the parking light on one side of the vehicle, move the lever into the basic position.
Switching the continuous parking light on both sides of the vehicle on and off
When the continuous parking lights on both sides of the vehicle are switched on, both headlights will turn on as well
as the side lights and sections of the taillights:
1. Switch on the parking light
2. Switch the ignition off.
.
3. Lock the vehicle from the outside.
4. To switch off the parking lights, unlock the vehicle from the outside.
Automatic side or parking light deactivation
The vehicle can detect when the 12 V vehicle battery is running low, and switches off the side or parking lights in
good time (but after no less than two hours)to leave enough power to restart the engine.
If the battery capacity is not sufficient for the side or parking lights to run for two hours, the 12 V vehicle battery may
drain to such an extent that the engine may not be able to start →
.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stopped without enough lighting and cannot be seen or is difficult for others on the road to see, this
can cause accidents and serious or fatal injuries.
● Always stop the vehicle safely and with enough lighting.
