What it means

Shown as a lamp with straight horizontal lines, blue in color, this light means the high beams are on. It is an information light, not a warning, and does not normally come on at start-up unless the high beams are switched on. Switch them off when there is oncoming traffic or a car ahead so you do not dazzle the other driver.

Symptoms4

Blue indicator on when the light stalk is pushed or pulled.
Indicator on but one side is not bright.
High beams do not work even though the indicator is on.
Indicator stays on after the stalk is returned.

Possible causes5

High beams switched on with the light stalk, which is normal.
Burned-out high beam bulb on one side.
Blown high beam fuse or failed high beam relay.
Faulty light stalk behind the steering wheel.
Corroded connector behind the headlight.

How to diagnose4

Turn on the high beams facing a wall and check that both sides light up.
Move the stalk between positions and see whether the indicator and lights change together.
Check the high beam fuse using the fuse box diagram.
At the workshop: check for voltage at the bulb and test the stalk and relay.

How to fix5

Switch off the high beams for oncoming traffic or when following another car.
Replace the burned-out bulb with the same type.
Replace the blown fuse or failed relay.
Clean or repair the connector.
Replace the light stalk if confirmed faulty, then confirm lights and indicator work together.

Frequently asked questions

Should I keep high beams on along the highway?

Only on dark, empty roads. Switch them off for oncoming cars or when following another car so you do not dazzle its driver.

The indicator lights briefly when I flash my lights. Is that normal?

Yes. Pulling the stalk to flash turns the high beams on for a moment, so the indicator lights with them.
