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).
