AUTOMATIC SWITCHING ON
OF THE LIGHTS
Side lights and dipped beam head
lamps switch on automatically if the
light is poor, or during continuous

They switch off as soon as the light
becomes bright enough or the wind

To disarm or activate the function: Place the key in the accessories
position (1st notch),
Press the end of the lights stalk
for more than two seconds.

ness sensor can detect sufficient

not come on automatically.

the mirror. It is used for automatic
switching on of the lights. Operating check
