The DICE system can be programmed for three different types of fog light logic:

  • Alternative 1 - The front fog lights can be turned on independent of the main and dipped beams if the light switch (10) is in position 1 or 2.
  • Alternative 2 - The front fog lights can be turned on when the main beam is on. The light switch must be in position 2 for headlamp alternative 3 and position 1 or 2 for headlamp alternatives 1 and 2.
  • Alternative 3 - The front fog lights can be turned on if the light switch is in position 2 and the main beam is on or if the light switch is in position 1 (no headlamps).
