Left stalk lever positions
The left steering column switch is designed to control the direction indicators, switch the dipped and main beam headlights, turn on the side lights, fog lights, rear fog lamp, and high beam signaling.
On some models, there is a function of outdoor lighting when driving during daylight hours (DRL), which lies in the fact that when the ignition is turned on, the side lights, the backlight of the license plate and instruments, as well as the dipped headlights, are automatically turned on. This function is active even if the outdoor lighting rotary switch is (located at the end of the left steering column switch) set to position «OFF», however, it is not possible to turn on the headlights in high beam mode. On other models, when set to position «OFF» outdoor lighting rotary switch, the outdoor lights are turned off.
