16.1 Low beam
S04627-10
The low beam is integrated in the main headlight.
The low beam is activated when the ignition is switched on.
To save power in the 12-V battery, the low beam is deactivated
again after 5 seconds if the engine is not started.
If the ignition is accidentally switched off during the journey, the
low beam remains on.
16.2 High beam
S04627-11
The high beam is integrated in the main headlight.
16.3 Daytime running light (DRL)
S04627-12
Warning
Danger of accidents When visibility is poor, the daytime
running light is not a substitute for the low beam.
Automatic switching between the daytime running light
and low beam may only be partially available when visi-
bility is significantly impaired due to fog, snow or rain.
– Ensure that the appropriate type of lighting is always
selected.
– If necessary switch off the daytime running lights
using the menu before going on a ride or when stopped
so that the low beam is switched on permanently.
– Note the legal regulations regarding the daytime run-
ning light.
The daytime running (DRL)/position light is integrated in the main
headlight. The daytime running light is brighter than the position
light.
The daytime running light must only be switched on when visibility
conditions are good.
This is controlled by the ambient light sensor in the combination
instrument. When visibility conditions are good, the low beam
with position light is switched off and the daytime running light
is switched on.
When the daytime running light is switched off, the low beam with
position light lights up.
