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 Setup
Menu: the greater the sensitivity, the
less external light is required to activate
the external lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring
nut A fig. 31 is turned to
. In this
way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external lighting
conditions.
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. To
activate these lights, turn the ring nut A
to
and activate the fixed dipped
beam headlights.
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 display.
It is also possible to deactivate the
sensor and switch on the side lights
and dipped beam headlights.
