Regardless of the position of the exterior lighting switch, you can briefly turn on the high beam headlights by moving the switch lever towards you.
Fog light and direction indicator units. The lower part of the front bumper of the cars contains fog lights and direction indicators.
Rear lights. The rear lights consist of two separate parts, located in the rear wing and tailgate. The rear lights contain brake lights and side lights, turn signals, reversing lights, and fog lights.
Rear fog light. The rear fog lamps are switched on by pressing the lower left button of the exterior lighting control unit only if the headlights are on. When the parking light is switched off, the rear fog light switches off automatically.
Direction indicators. The turn signal lamps are installed in the fog lights, rear and side lights. The right or left turn signals are switched on by the left steering column switch.
In the hazard warning mode, the hazard warning switch turns on all direction indicators. Flashing of the lamps is provided by the hazard warning relay.
Electric headlight corrector. The cars are equipped with an electric headlight corrector, which allows changing the direction of the headlight beam in the vertical plane depending on the car load. When installing xenon headlights, cars are equipped with an automatic electric corrector, which maintains the optimal direction of the headlight beam when the body oscillates on uneven roads. An adaptive light system can be installed upon request, changing the direction of the low beam headlight beam in the horizontal plane depending on the steering wheel angle.
License plate lights. The license plate lighting is located in the upper part of the rear bumper's license plate recess.
Useful tips
If the headlights suddenly start to shine dimly, and the parking light flashes when the turn signal is turned on, restore the contact of the ground wire with the body.

Make it a habit to change your light bulbs regularly (especially headlights).
Over time, the bulb becomes cloudy and the brightness of the lamp decreases. This process occurs quite slowly, and the driver does not notice the gradual deterioration of road illumination.
Sooner or later, the bulbs in the rear lights burn out. It would seem that nothing could be simpler – take a new bulb that matches the size of the base and voltage and install it instead of the burnt out one. However, keep in mind that the rear lights can use bulbs with the same base, but different power – 5W and 21W. And this is an important detail.
Don't mix up the bulbs: 5-watt bulbs are installed for parking lights, 21-watt bulbs are installed in turn signals and brake lights. If you install low-power bulbs in brake lights and turn signals, other drivers simply won't see your signals in bad weather. And powerful bulbs in the "side lights" will greatly interfere with and irritate drivers driving behind you. You will be treated accordingly.
