AUTOMATIC LIGHTING CONTROL
(AUTOLIGHT) (Dusk sensor)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This infrared LED sensor, combined with the rain sensor and located on
the windscreen, detects the variations in outside brightness depending
on the light sensitivity set with the Set-up Menu: the greater the
sensitivity, the less external light is required to activate the exterior
lights.Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring nut A fig. 33 is turned to
.In
this way the side lights and dipped headlights are activated
automatically according to the external light level.
IMPORTANT The sensor is unable to detect the presence of fog.
Therefore under these circumstances, these lights must be turned on
manually.
When the lights are turned on by the sensor, the fog lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) and the rear fog lights may be
turned on.
When the lights are automatically switched off, the front and rear fog
lights (if activated) are also switched off. The next time the lights are
switched on automatically, the fog lights must be reactivated manually
(if required).
With the sensor active, it is possible to flash the headlights but the
main beam headlights cannot be switched on. If you need to turn these
lights on, turn ring nut A to position
and turn the dipped
headlights on.
When the lights have been activated automatically and are then
switched off by the sensor, the dipped beam headlights are switched
off first, followed by the side lights a few seconds later.
If the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning, the side lights and
dipped beam headlights are switched on irrespective of the outside
light level and the sensor failure is indicated on the instrument panel
display.
It is also possible to deactivate the sensor and switch on these lights if
necessary.
