(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 exterior lights.
Activation
The dusk sensor activates when ring
nut A fig. 17 is turned to
. In this
way the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are activated automatically
according to the external light level.
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).
