INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction. 94
Tunnel detection
*
Tunnel detection changes the lighting from day-
time running lights to dipped beam when the car
is driven into a tunnel.
The tunnel detection function is available in cars
with rain sensor
*
. The sensor detects the
entrance to a tunnel and resets the lighting from
daytime running lights to dipped beam. Approx.
20 seconds after the car has left the tunnel, the
lighting returns to daytime running lights. If the
car is driven into another tunnel within this time
period then dipped beam is kept switched on.
This avoids repeated changes to the car's light-
ing.
Note that the headlamp control's knob must
remain in
position for tunnel detection to
work.
