KTM 890 Duke R - Owner's Manual > Daytime running light (DRL)

Warning

Danger of accidents When visibility is poor, the daytime running light is not a substitute for the low beam.

Automatic switching between the daytime running light and low beam may only be partially available when visibility is significantly impaired due to fog, snow or rain.

• Ensure that the appropriate type of lighting is always selected.
• If necessary switch off the daytime running lights using the menu before going on a ride or when stopped so that the low beam is switched on permanently.
• Note the legal regulations regarding the daytime running light

The daytime running light (DRL) is integrated in the main headlight.

The daytime running light (DRL) must only be switched on when visibility conditions are good.

Activate the daytime running light (DRL) in the combination instrument.

This is controlled by the ambient light sensor in the combination instrument. When visibility conditions are good, the low beam is switched off and the daytime running light is switched on.

The position light 1 lights up with all types of lighting.
