Visibility
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps, sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps
are switched on automatically, without any
action on the part of the driver. They can also
come on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.

automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
coupled with the rain sensor and

associated functions would no longer
be controlled.
