To minimize risk to you and to others,
activate headlamps by turning exterior lamp
switch to

and/or ambient lighting conditions require
you to do so.
In low ambient lighting conditions, only
switch from position

Switching from

will briefly
switch off the headlamps. Doing so while
driving in low ambient lighting conditions
may result in an accident.
The automatic headlamp feature is only an
aid to the driver. The driver is responsible for
the operation of the vehicle’s lights at all
times.
