Auto checking of lights
The outer bulbs are monitoring by the car’s
electrical system. If any of these stop
working, a message appears on the DIC
(Driver Information Centre).
Example of DIC message:
Left dipped beam
failure.
Number plate lighting is only detected if both
bulbs fail.
The side direction indicators are only
detected if the lower of the two rear direction
indicator bulbs fails.
Wagon
The tail lights, brake lights and direction
indicators consist of LEDs. If approx. 3/4 of
the LEDs on one side are broken then this
is indicated on the DIC.
If a brake light bulb fails
Sedan: If a brake light bulb fails, for reasons
of safety the adjacent tail light will serve as
a brake light. Replace the defective bulb as
soon as possible.
Wrong bulb fitted
If a dipped or main beam bulb of too high a
rating is fitted, a bulb failure message will be
shown on the DIC (a too high wattage bulb
can damage the reflector).
If the following message is displayed but the
bulb shines, it is most likely that an incorrect
bulb has been fitted.
Right main beam failure.
Note:
When changing bulbs, fit the same type
of bulb (e.g. Long-Life) as that removed.
