Moving the steering-column stalk to the front (in direction of travel) or to the rear switches the main-beam headlights on and off.

The steering-column stalk no longer engages in the switch positions. Moving the steering-column stalk has the following functions:

Turn signals: The turn signals work as follows when terminal R is ON:
- To signal briefly, move the steering-column stalk briefly up for a right signal or down for a left signal.
- For a continuous signal, press the steering-column stalk beyond the pressure point.
Main-beam headlights and headlight flasher or dipped headlights: Move the switch to the front or to the rear.
Parking lights, left or right: When terminal R is OFF, move the steering-column stalk beyond the pressure point as for a continuous turn signal (up for right and down for left).
