Understanding the Vehicle
Automatic Headlights
This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to
ambient light intensity detected by the
twilight sensor positioned on the inner
surface of the windshield, over the
rear view mirror. To turn the system
on, rotate the lights switch clockwise
to “AUTO” position.
When the automatic system is
activated, the headlight time delay
feature is activated as well. This means
the headlights will stay on for up to 90
seconds after you place the ignition
device into
OFF position.
To turn the automatic system off,
move the lights switch out of “AUTO”
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running and the
twilight sensor in “NIGHT” mode
before the headlights turn on in
automatic mode.
WARNING!
The responsibility for turning on the
lights, depending on the daylight and
regulations in force in the country of
use, always lies with the driver. The
automatic system for switching on
and off the external lights is to be
considered as an aid for the driver. If
necessary, switch the lights including
front and rear fog lights on and off
manually.
Headlights On with Wipers
When this feature is active, the
headlights will turn on in “adverse
weather beam” mode approximately
10 seconds after activation of
the wipers, if the lights switch is
placed in the “AUTO” position. The
headlights will additionally turn off by
deactivation of the wipers if previously
activated with this function.
NOTE:
The headlights with wipers feature
may be turned on and off using
the MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
Headlights Time Delay
This safety feature provides headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds
(programmable) when leaving your
vehicle in an unlit area. To activate
automatically the delay feature with
the light switch in “AUTO” position,
place the ignition switch in the
OFF or
ACC position while the headlights are
still on.
The delay interval begins when the
ignition switch is placed in the
OFF or
ACC position.
To activate manually the delay feature
the headlights must be on before
place the ignition switch in the
OFF or
ACC position and the light switch in
“AUTO” position.
If you place the ignition in
RUN , the
system will cancel the delay.
NOTE:
• To activate this feature the light
switch must be turned in “AUTO”
position within 45 seconds of placing
the ignition in the
OFF or ACC
position.
• Once the delay feature is active, any
additional shifting of the light switch
will cancel the feature.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instrument and
Controls”.
• If the low beam bulbs/LEDs are active
due to “Headlights with Wipers”,
than the headlamps delay feature
will not be activated when the
ignition switch is set in
OFF position.
