DRIVING
Note: "DIM-DIP" Lighting. (Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations)
If the side-and-tail lamps are on and the engine is started, or if the engine is running and the side-and-tail lamps are switched on, the dipped-beams of the headlamps light at reduced output (dim-dip) to make the vehicle more easily seen by other users of the road.
When the driver switches to dipped-beams or main-beams the dim-dip ceases to operate until side-and-tail lamps only are selected again with the engine running. Switching the dim-dip on and off is automatic and requires no action on the part of the driver.
