Hi,
Is it possible to adjust the level of light at which the auto lights come on on a C5? I find that the system waits until it's darker than I would like (most other cars have had their lights on for some time) before it turns them on.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ron

Not that I'm aware of, unfortunately. I'm no expert with a Lexia but I haven't seen anything in the menus to adjust the threshold but I'd love to be proved wrong.
I'm lucky with mine - it's one of the few auto devices that works properly on my car. The only time it seems to get caught out is when the change to darkness is very slow.

Ah well, looks like there's no simple combination of stalk manipulation or button bushing in the accessory position to sort out my problem....
No worries - at least my auto wipers are now behaving themselves after fitting a genuine citroen passenger side wiper in place of the halfords special!
Thanks,
Ron

I like the auto lights, very good idea. Mine seem to come one at around the right time, sometimes i turn them on to sidelights first as headlights is a bit much some times.
However i dont like the fact they come on with the auto wipers. When they do so many fast wipes it puts the headlights on. Sometimes this is a good thing but usually its not needed. Driving through patchy weather and they are on and off all the time. So again i usually just put them to sidelights.
Not aware that the time/dusk sensor can be changed though.

My experience is that the threshold at which the lights come on is reduced when the wipers are on, not that they simply come on and that's it.Citroenmad wrote:Mine seem to come one at around the right time...

Again, on my car they seem to do it at just about what I consider to be right.

They are supposed to come on after four sweeps of the wipers.Paul-R wrote:My experience is that the threshold at which the lights come on is reduced when the wipers are on, not that they simply come on and that's it.Citroenmad wrote:Mine seem to come one at around the right time...
