Switches and switches


1 instrument lighting





When the ignition is on, by turning the knurled knob (1), you can smoothly adjust the brightness of the background of the instrument panel display and the center console.

The selected display background brightness is adjusted automatically depending on the surrounding background.

In addition, when the lights are on, the brightness of the instruments, display and centre console lighting can be smoothly adjusted by turning the knurled knob (1).

2 headlight range adjuster





By rotating the knurled handle of the electric headlight angle adjuster, you can smoothly change the position of their optical axes, in accordance with the actual load of the vehicle.



Thanks to this, the degree of blinding of oncoming drivers will not exceed the inevitable level. At the same time, the correct installation of headlights creates the most favorable conditions for the driver's visibility of the road.

The headlight range can only be adjusted when the low beam is on.

The marked positions of the regulator approximately correspond to the following vehicle loading conditions:

0 there is a driver and a front passenger in the car, the trunk is empty

I all seats are occupied, trunk is empty

II all seats are occupied, the trunk is loaded

III the driver's seat is occupied, the trunk is loaded

3 light switch





O the lights are off1)

- parking lights

- low beam or high beam

By pulling the switch towards you when it is in the parking low beam or high beam position, you can turn on the fog lights or rear fog lights.



The fog lights only light when the ignition is on. When the engine is started and after the ignition is turned off, they automatically switch to the parking light.

Warning: When the key is removed from the ignition switch with the lights on and the driver's door open, a buzzer sounds.


1) Daytime outdoor lighting

In some export versions, when the ignition is on, the low beam lights up at reduced brightness.

When using the above-described signaling and lighting devices, please comply with regulatory requirements.

On right-hand drive vehicles, the switch locations are different from left-hand drive vehicles. However, the symbols on the switches match those on a left-hand drive vehicle.

Warning: When the ignition is switched on in vehicles with xenon headlights, the headlight range is automatically adjusted according to the load.


Fog lights and fog lamps*





They light up when the parking lights or low beams are turned on.

When they are switched on, the control lamp built into the switch lights up. When the rear fog lights are switched on, it is not possible to switch off the fog lights separately.

Rear fog light





The rear fog light only lights up when the low or high beam is on, and on vehicles with fog lights, also when the parking lights are on.



When the rear fog lights are switched on, the fog lights are automatically switched on as well. At the same time, the indicator lights in both switches light up.

Warning: The electrical system of vehicles with a factory-fitted towing hitch* provides for automatic switching off of the vehicle's rear fog lights when using a trailer.


When using the above-described signaling and lighting devices, please comply with regulatory requirements.

1 Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)* or Electronic Stability Program (ESP)*



1 Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR)* or Electronic Stability Program (ESP)*

1 driver's seat heating*



When the ignition is on, you can use the electric heating of the seat cushion and backrest.



The heating is switched on and smoothly adjusted using a knurled handle.

To turn on the heating, the corresponding knurled handle is moved from position 0 and turned to one of six possible temperature ranges. Simultaneously with the heating system, the backlight of the digital marking of the corresponding knurled handle is also turned on.

2 rear window heating



Electric heating works only when the ignition is on. While it is on, the control lamp in its switch lights up.

The rear window heating switches off automatically after approximately 10 minutes.

Once visibility through the rear window is restored, its heating should be turned off. By reducing electricity consumption, you will also reduce fuel consumption.

Warning: On vehicles with an antenna on the rear window, the antenna is the top three sections of the conductor, which therefore does not heat up.


3 Front passenger seat heating*



When the ignition is on, you can use the electric heating of the seat cushion and backrest.

The heating is switched on and smoothly adjusted using a knurled handle.

To turn on the heating, the corresponding knurled handle is moved from position 0 and turned to one of six possible temperature ranges. Simultaneously with the heating system, the backlight of the digital marking of the corresponding knurled handle is also turned on.

Warning: If possible, avoid kneeling on the seats or otherwise applying strong pressure to the seat surface to avoid damaging the heating elements.
