2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia high beam

AUTO FUNCTION (Dusk sensor)
This is implemented by an infrared LED
sensor on the windscreen that works in
conjunction with the rain sensor. It is able
to detect variations in the outside light
level based on the light sensitivity set
through the Connect system.
The dusk sensor sensitivity can be
adjusted according to 3 levels: level
1=minimum sensitivity, level 2=average
sensitivity, level 3=maximum sensitivity.
The higher the sensitivity set, the lesser
is the external light variation needed to
switch the lights on (e.g. with a setting on
level 3 at sunset the headlights come on
earlier than levels 1 and 2).
Function activation
