Main beam
The main beam can only be switched on when the low beam lights are on.
When the high beam or headlight flasher is on, the warning light
lights up in
the instrument cluster.
Flashing
When the left flashing light is switched on, the warning light
flashes in the
instrument cluster.
When the right flashing light is switched on, the warning light
flashes in the
instrument cluster.
The flashing light is turned on even before the upper and lower pressure point.
This is advantageous with some manoeuvres. For example, when changing
lanes hold the control lever of each pressure point.
The turn signal light switches itself off automatically when driving around a
curve or after making a turn.
The warning light flashes at twice its normal rate if a bulb for the turn signal
light fails.
“Convenience turn signal”
If you only wish to flash three times, briefly push the lever to the upper or low-
er pressure point and release again.
WARNING
Only turn on the main beam or the headlight flasher if other road users will
not be dazzled.
Note
The headlight flasher can be operated even if the ignition is switched off.
