Exterior lighting

Exterior lighting switch

A. OFF
B. side (parking) lights
C. headlights
D. auto
E. front fog lights
F. rear fog lights

The exterior lights are controlled by a

rotary light switch mounted on the fascia

and by the left-hand column switch.
The rotary switch has six positions.

These are:
OFF (A) – All exterior lights OFF (except

vehicles provided with daylight running

lights).
Sidelights (B) – Switches on front

sidelights, tail, number plate and any

other marker lights required by local

legislation. When the external lights are

ON the instruments will also be lit.
Headlights (C) – With the ignition in

position ‘II’, this position switches on

dipped headlights in addition to the lights

switched on in position (B).
The left-hand column stalk switch has

two pull positions. Pulling and releasing

the switch to the first position causes the

main beam to flash. The main beam can

be flashed with the ignition in position ‘II’

and will remain ON for as long as the

switch is held.

The second position is to switch main

beam headlights ON. With the ignition in

position ‘II’, first select dipped beam

lights (C), and then pull the column light

switch, past the first position, fully

towards the steering wheel.
The blue warning light on the instrument

cluster and main beam headlights will

come ON.
To turn main beam OFF, pull the column

switch again to the main beam position.
Note: If dipped beam is switched OFF,

with main beam still activated both

dipped and main beam will be

extinguished. Both dipped and main beam

will illuminate if dipped is turned on

again. The ignition must be in position ‘II’

for the flash to operate.

Headlight convenience
The main beam lights are turned on for

30 seconds when the headlight

convenience button on the key

transmitter is pressed.
Note: The key must not be in the ignition

switch for this feature to operate.
The main beam lights can be turned off

before the 30 second delay by pressing

the headlight convenience button on the

key transmitter or by turning the ignition

to position ‘II’.
