Automatic lighting systems - General
recommendations
The automatic lighting systems use a detection
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
–
When visibility conditions are poor
(e.g.
snowfall, heavy rain).
–
If the windscreen is dirty
, misted-up or
masked (e.g.
sticker) in front of the camera.
–
If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
The system is not able to detect:
–
Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–
V
ehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).
–
V
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Maintenance
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the camera.
Automatic headlamp dipping
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations for
automatic lighting systems.
With the ring of the lighting control stalk
in the
"AUTO" position and the function activated on
the touch screen, this system automatically
switches between dipped and main beam
headlamps, according to lighting and traffic
conditions, using a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
