Warning lights brilliancy Warning lights brilliancy is automatically adjusted by the instrument panel depending on the quantity of outer light detected. Backlighting Instrument panel backlighting is on only if the parking lights or the low/high beams are turned on. In this case the instrument panel, thanks to some sensors measuring ambient temperature and light intensity, can automatically turn the backlighting on or off. Lights self-disabling This function allows a lower voltage consumption from the battery, by automatically switching off the headlight. The device is triggered in two cases: - in the first case, if you turn the key from OFF to ON and do not start the engine; after 60 seconds the headlight is turned off and will be turned on again only at next key OFF/ key ON. - in the second case, after the daily use of the vehicle with the lights on, if the engine is killed via the RUNSTOP button on the RH switch. In this case, after 60 seconds from engine killing, the headlight will be turned off and will be turned on again only upon next engine starting. Notes When the engine is started, the system turns off the headlights and only turns them back on again when the engine has started or when the starter button is released (2, fig. 21). E 20
