Daytime Running Lights (DRL)
DRL are activated using the lights switch
as previously described in the table.
DRL are activated in AUTO mode during
day time.
The use of low beams deactivates the
DRL to activate parking lights.
During night time, the use of AUTO mode
deactivates the DRL to activate parking
lights.
Together with the DRL lights are also
turned on the number plate lights.
NOTE:
In countries where DRL use is not
required, these lights can be switched
off.
Low and High Beam Lights
Low beam lights can be switched on
manually or automatically in AUTO
mode based on the ambient brightness
detected by the twilight sensor. Both
modes are activated using the lights
switch as previously described in the
table.
With low beam lights switched on
manually or automatically in AUTO
mode, the high beam lights can
be switched on pushing the left
multifunction lever towards the
instrument cluster.
With high beam lights on, the
blue indicator light on the 5b area of the
instrument cluster will come on at the
same time.
The high beam lights are switched off
by pushing the left multifunction lever
again. The indicator light switches
off on the instrument cluster.
Twilight Sensor
This is composed 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 MIA system (see
“Customer Programmable Functions” in
section “Instruments and Controls”).
The twilight 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).
The functionality of the twilight sensor
is essential for the management of the
external lights when the AUTO mode is
selected.
Blinking
The flashing of the high beam lights is
activated by pulling the left multifunction
lever towards the steering wheel, the
lights remain on while you are operating
the lever.
Rear Fog Light
The rear fog light switch is beside the
lights switch. Press it to switch the rear
fog light on: the amber backlight on the
switch light on.
The amber rear fog indicator light
is displayed on instrument cluster when
function is enabled.
