The brightness setting is automatically adjusted to the changing light conditions in the vehicle.
When the light switch is in position
, a sensor will switch the dipped beam and the lighting
in the instruments and switches on and off automatically depending on the ambient brightness
level.
When the light is switched off and the ignition switched on, the dash panel lighting (indicators
and scales) is switched on. As the ambient light becomes lower, the lighting of these scales is
automatically reduced and may be switched off entirely. This function is intended to remind the
driver to switch on the dipped beam in good time, i.e. when driving through tunnels.
