Note
• The turn signals only work when the ignition is switched on. The corresponding warning lamp or flashes in the combi-instrument. The warning lamp flashes when the turn signals are operated, provided a trailer is correctly attached and connected to the vehicle. If a turn signal bulb is defective, the warning lamp flashes at double speed. If the trailer turn signal bulbs are damaged, warning lamp does not light up. You should have the bulb replaced.
• The main beam headlights can only be switched on if the dipped beam headlights are already on. The warning lamp then comes on in the combiinstrument.
• The headlight flasher comes on for as long as you pull the lever – even if no other lights are switched on. The warning lamp then comes on in the combi-instrument.
• When the parking lights are switched on, the headlight and the rear light on the corresponding side of the vehicle light up. The parking lights will only work if the key is removed from the ignition. If the lights are switched on, a buzzer gives an audible warning while the driver door is open.
• If the turn signal lever is left on after the key has been taken out of the ignition lock, an acoustic signal sounds when the driver door is opened. This is a reminder to switch off the turn signal, unless of course you wish to leave the parking light on.
