Operation

the function active, the instrument pan-
el lighting may even switch off. The objective
of this function is to provide the driver with a

vate the dipped beam.
If your vehicle is equipped with a digital in-
strument cluster (Digital Cockpit), the fol-
lowing message will appear Turn on the
lights on the instrument cluster.
