Instructions
  • In right-hand drive vehicles, the switch layout is different, however, the symbols on the buttons and handles are the same as those on left-hand drive vehicles.
  • When using the lighting fixtures described below, you must follow the standards and regulations accepted in your country.
  • If the headlights, parking lights and turn signals are not turned off after the key is removed from the ignition, a buzzer sounds after the driver's door is opened. When the driver's door is closed, the buzzer turns off.


If the headlights, parking lights and turn signals are not turned off after the key is removed from…


1 - Main switch for external lighting



- Turned off.

- Side lights or parking lights (1). In this position, the indicator lamp next to the side light symbol lights up (parking lights).

- Low or high beam headlights. The headlights are on only when the ignition is on. When starting the engine and after turning off the ignition, the headlights automatically switch to parking light mode.

(1) On export models, when the ignition is on and the parking lights are on, the low beam headlights also come on.



Switching between high/low beam headlights and high beam signal is carried out using the left steering column switch.

- Fog lights.

To turn on the fog lights, set the switch to the parking lights or low/high beam position at level 1. When the fog lights are on, the indicator lamp next to the fog light symbol lights up.

- Rear fog lights.

On vehicles without front fog lights, the rear fog lights are turned on when the switch is set to the parking light or low/high beam position at level one.

On vehicles with front fog lights, the switch must be set to the parking light or low/high beam position on the second level.

When the rear fog lights are switched on, the indicator light next to the fog light symbol lights up.


Due to the strong glare effect, fog lights may only be switched on in poor visibility conditions, in accordance with local traffic regulations.

Note: The trailer's electrical system is designed in such a way that when a trailer with fog lights is connected, the lights on the tractor are automatically switched off.


2 - Instrument lighting brightness controller


When the outside lighting is on, the brightness of the instrument lighting is adjusted by turning the knob.

3 - Adjusting the direction of the headlights


Using the remote electric drive, you can change the vertical adjustment of the headlights depending on the vehicle load, thereby avoiding unnecessary blinding of oncoming drivers and ensuring optimal visibility.

The headlights can only be adjusted when the low beam is on. To lower the beam, turn the knurled handle down (-).

4 - Emergency signaling


When the hazard warning lights are on, the switch indicator light flashes. The hazard warning lights also work when the ignition is off.

5 - Rear electric windows


The operation of electric windows is described in detail on page VIII.

6 - Front seat heating control


The front seat cushions and backrests can be heated when the ignition is on. The heating is switched on and adjusted by turning the knurled handle to the right (there are several levels of heating intensity). To turn off the heating, turn the handle to the left until it stops.

7 - Rear window heating switch


The heating works only when the ignition is on. When the heating is turned on, the control lamp on the switch lights up.

Once the rear window is clear, the heating should be switched off, as reducing power consumption reduces fuel consumption.

In vehicles with electrified exterior rear-view mirrors, their heating is switched on together with the rear window heating.
