AUTOMATIC SWITCHING ON OF THE LIGHTS The side lights and dipped beam headlamps switch on automatically if
the light is poor, or during continuousoperation of the windscreen wipers.

cle is supplied to the customer.
To disarm or activate the function: Place the key in the accessories position (1st notch),
 Press the end of the lights stalkfor more than two seconds.
Note: in foggy weather, the bright-
ness sensor can detect sufficientlight. Because of this, the lights do
not come on automatically. Do not cover the brightness sen-

the mirror. It is used for automat-ic switching on of the lights. Operating check Activation Activation of this function is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage
"Automatic lighting of
the headlamps activated" on the

stalk always takes priority Disarming Disarming of the function is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage "Automatic lighting of

switched off when the headlampswould switch on in automatic mode,the lights remain on. It is howeverpossible to disarm this function and
