When using the flashlights in turning, it switches on the bright on the headlights.
What can the problem be?

Hi,

First, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help.

If I understand, when you use the turn signals, it turns on the high beam. If that is the case, it sounds like the multi-function switch is failing.

On your vehicle, are the turn signals and headlamp switches combined into one switch?

Also, when starting it, do you hear something that sounds like an electrical short? If so, is it loud enough for you to record and upload for me to hear? Does the mileage change from 0 to normal after the ignition key is released to the run position?

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
