INTRODUCTION - EXTERIOR LIGHTING.
The vehicle exterior lighting system has been designed and produced with two objectives in mind:
- guaranteeing maximum efficiency with regard to the international regulations that define the lighting technology specifications for the various components.
- being integrated with the innovative design of the vehicle so that the various components enhance the image,
- in particular the front light cluster incorporates the separate functions of the side light, dipped headlight, main beam headlight and fog light in a single unit.

The front light cluster is a lamp constructed from a fixed lens reflection technology for all the functions (dipped headlight, main beam headlight and fog light).
It contains special housings where the parabolas and the vertical and horizontal adjustment units with direct systems without idlers are secured. There is an automatic type electrical corrector (electric motor) in the unit for controlling the headlight alignment with an activation control in the instrument panel. The reflective parabolas are made from a metallic thermo-setting material and are covered in a clear paint with a protective function.
