INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING
ADJUSTMENT
(Brightness sensor) (Sport versions with
reconfigurable multifunction display)
Sport versions with reconfigurable multifunction
display are equipped with a brightness sensor (fitted
inside the speedometer) capable of detecting
ambient light conditions and adjusting the
brightness of the instrument panel accordingly.The behaviour of the instrument is as follow:
❒in "daytime" mode the display can be adjusted to
8 settings, the graphics are switched off, the
indexes are fully lit up and cannot be adjusted;
❒in "nighttime" mode the display, the graphics and
the indexes can be adjusted to 8 settings. The
brightness of the radio and automatic dual zone
climate control display is also adjusted.
The brightness setting depends on the values
previously configured using the setup menu on the
reconfigurable multifunction display (see "Lighting"
in the "Reconfigurable multifunction display"
paragraph).
The instrument panel graphics brightness may
change (from on to off ) whilst the vehicle is moving
following an event that causes a switch from
daytime to nighttime conditions in the passenger
compartment (for example, entering a tunnel).

AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR (dusk
sensor)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the
vehicle depending on the light sensitivity setting:
the greater the sensitivity, the less outside light
needed to activate the exterior lights being turned
on.
The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may be adjusted
by means of the "Setup menu" on the instrument
panel.Activation
Turn the ring nut to position
fig. 50: this turns
the side lights and the dipped headlights on
simultaneously and automatically depending on the
exterior brightness conditions.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor
on.
Deactivation
The dipped headlights will switch off followed after
approximately 10 seconds by the side lights, when
the sensor is deactivated.
The sensor is not capable of detecting the presence
of fog therefore, in these circumstances, the lights
have to be turned on manually.
