Tunnel detection*
Tunnel detection changes the lighting from day-
time running lights to dipped beam when the car
is driven into a tunnel.
WARNING
This system help to save energy - it cannot
determine in all situations when daylight is too
weak or sufficiently strong, e.g. in mist and
rain.
and the car's electrical system in key posi-
tion II or the engine running, the dipped beam is
activated automatically in poor light conditions.
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 prevents frequent changes to the car's beam
pattern.
The driver is always responsible for ensuring
that the car is driven with the correct beam
pattern for the traffic situation and in accord-
ance with applicable traffic regulations.
