light is poor, or during continuousoperation of the windscreen wipers.
They switch off as soon as the lightbecomes bright enough or the wind-screen wipers stop. Note :in foggy weather, the bright-
ness sensor can detect sufficient
light. As a consequence, the lights
will not come on automatically. This function is active when the vehi-
cle is supplied to the customer.

It helps toregulate the air conditioning,automatic switching on of thelights and the automatic adjust-ment of the instrument panelbrightness.
