Light switch (BMW 5 Series E28)

If the ignition is switched off with the low beam on, only the side light remains on.

Vehicles without a control signal display - after turning the ignition key to position 0, a buzzer sounds for a few seconds to remind you that the lights are not off.

The buzzer goes silent when you press the button to reset the daily trip meter to zero.

Vehicles with a control and signal display - the reminder is provided by an indication on the control and signal display.

Instrument cluster lighting

Lighting is adjusted by rotating the roller.

Low beam for driving during daylight hours

If necessary, the light switch can be left on the second stage; when the ignition is turned off, the low beam and side lights will automatically go out.

On some models, depending on the version, the low beam for daytime driving is switched on automatically when the ignition key is turned to position 2, even if the light switch is in position 0.

Combined turn signal/headlight switch

Rapid flashing of the lamp and clicking of the breaker indicate that one of the turn signal lamps has burned out.

Turn signal lever not in fixed position

Do not lock the switch lever when starting a maneuver or changing the lane. The lever returns to its original position automatically.

Port and starboard parking lights

Press the lever down beyond the position where the corresponding turn signal is turned on.
