Low-beam headlamps
G WARNING
If the light switch is set to à and it is foggy,
snowing or there is poor visibility, the low-
beam headlamps will not come on
automatically. This could endanger you and
others. In such situations turn the light switch
to L.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid. The driver is responsible for the vehicle's
lighting at all times.
