Automatic Lights?

Hello,

Can anyone explain how the "automatic headlights" feature should work on the CC please? There is an "Auto" button on the lights stalk, but it does not seam to do anything!

Thanks

Lee

Manual - yes...but no mention of it despite showing the "Auto" button in the photographs... The manual looks like a first edition print!

Turn you ingnition a little, but not enough for the warning lights to come on. Press the end of the stalk and the words automatic lights active or something very simular should flash up.

Simple when you know how

I think the auto lights are fantastic - worked without fail for me every time. Couldn't imagine having a car without them.

huh? is the Auto light standard on 1.6L 206cc?

Not sure about Oz spec vehicles but recall it as non standard. Best check your manual.

Claire - Hi - thanks for the info - so I can assume it is the same routine for the wipers? I'm off to work soon so I'll try it then!

Thanks again!

I got caught out as well...
but some people here are real 'manual freaks'...where's the fun in solving problems like that? Surely its better to prove you're a dumb-ass in public, like me!!

should be standard feature for all new multiplex models as is autowipers. Turn the ignition to the first position and press and HOLD the end of the stalk until the console shows autolight has been activated. The same procedure applies for deactivating it. I think the procedure is written out in the new manual but glosses over it very quickly.

Definately not standard on the 1.6 version, seen as I paid 150 pounds for it ....

and waited alot longer for it to be built

auto lights as already explained.

auto wipers - just move the stalk to the first position and the the display will tell you the function is active.

the lights work very well as frosty says although they do come on on the odd occasion when they are not required.

a very useful feature as indicated through erm's apparent jealousy :razz:

Hi all

Yes the auto lights are very good, one nice feature is that when you get out of the car on a night, when you turn the ignition off the lights stay on but turn off when you remote lock the car.

But on the down side when driving through tunnels during the day they switch on, which would normally be ok but when you go through a number of tunnels one after another it looks like your flashing your lights at the very attractive young girly in the car in front........hmm was that a down side.....

/wanders off to think it a bit harder about that :razz:
