Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Principle of Operation: Headlights
Low beams are switched on when the main light switch is set to position 2 with the ignition switch in position 2. Pulling the low beam/high beam switch towards the driver with the ignition in position 1 or 2 activates the headlight flasher (flash to pass). Flash to pass is active with the low beams OFF or ON.
High beam lights are activated by pulling the low beam/high beam switch toward the driver until its end position is reached. Pulling the switch a second time de-activates the high beams. The low beam lights must be on and the ignition switch in position 2 for high beam activation.
Operation of the optional Xenon headlights is the same.
