AUTOMATIC SWITCHING ON OF THE LIGHTS Side lights and dipped beam head- lamps switch on automatically if the
light is poor, or during continuousoperation of the windscreen wipers.
They switch off as soon as the lightbecomes bright enough or the wind-screen wipers stop. This function is active when the vehi-
cle is supplied to the customer.
To disarm or activate the function:
Start with the key in the accesso- ries position (1st notch),
Press the end of the stalk for more than two seconds.

ness sensor can detect sufficientlight. Because of this, the lights do
not come on automatically. Do not cover the brightness sen-

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