Back-up Camera

Used to provide visibility when reversing, the backup camera gives a view of the rear. It is essential to ensure that this camera is clean.

Headlights

Headlights

Activated by stock on the steering wheel's left-hand side, lamps illuminate the road ahead.

Make sure these lamps are in working condition before going on the road.

Headlights have different intensities – High beams and low beams. The driver needs to dip(lower) the beams when traffic comes from the opposite direction, as you do not want to blind other road-users.

Daytime Running Lights

Daytime Running lights

Their primary purpose is to ensure the visibility of the vehicle to other road-users. When the engine turns on, they turn on, so there is no physical button to turn them on.

Sun Visor

Sun visors located above the driver protect the drivers from glare from the sun.
