#1: Auto button on Light Stalk Author: Jaffacake, Location: Basildon, EssexPosted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 5:09 am ---- Hi all
Ok, first question... having gone through the owners manual several times I still cannot find out what the button on the end of the light stalk on the left hand side does? It has the word 'Auto' stencilled on there.
Is this something to do with the auto lights or am I barking up the wrong tree?

If the auto headlights are working correctly leave the button alone!
#3: Re: Auto button on Light Stalk Author: Jaffacake, Location: Basildon, EssexPosted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 5:32 am ---- Ahh ok. Is there any indicator light or something to tell you whether its on or off or do you just have to wait and see??
Cheers
Adie

Start the engine, get out the car & hold your hand over the sensor on the windscreen.
OR
Take the car somewhere dark like an underground carpark / garage.

Earlier BSI software versions dont, they will only flag it up when you use the button to change the status of the autolights.

#9: Re: Auto button on Light Stalk Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 5:59 am ---- Ive no idea why anyone would want to turn the autolights feature OFF, they work perfectly on the 206
#10: Re: Auto button on Light Stalk Author: Ghosty, Location: WiltshirePosted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:06 am ---- lol, its fricken annoying when you go under a bridge, and they come on, or at 3pm and its just starting to lose light they come on, if it could be set to a varying level, like sides then dipped, it would be ok. unless it does that and mine is ferked, i have never seen it auto sidelight though.

Might be to stop the twenty people a week saying "ere mate you've left your lights on" and then explaining they are auto lights. I only use mine during the winter as its dark on way to work and then back home again. During the summer I tend to leave them off.

Sensor is defective / wants adjusting.

Follow me home function now needs you to flash the headlights after key is turned off to get the dipped beam to stay on for the 30 seconds.
#16: Re: Auto button on Light Stalk Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:22 am ---- Think I may pop into pug and see how much they will do a update for. Will have to be careful though last time I was there a centercap went missing off their alloy wheel display lol.

Either 30 mins or an hours labour charge.
Rear wiper in reverse if fronts are on & motion locking is also worth getting turned on IF you dont already have it.
#18: Re: Auto button on Light Stalk Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:26 am ---- Lee activated the rear wiper for me but having motion locking would be good. We have that in the punto comes in handy with the kids in the car.

I have. Tried to activate it once before but it didn't work. May have another go thinking about it.
#21: Re: Auto button on Light Stalk Author: Matt, Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:49 am ---- Not every car has the option. I have had read wiper when in reverse turned on. Had hazards on when breaking too but it p**sed me off.
I have my auto lights on all the time. It's so much easier.

#23: Re: Auto button on Light Stalk Author: zoranm1976, Location: Mostar BiHPosted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 12:36 pm ---- Hello.
I have installed homemade Auto cap on my 02 German market 206. When I push it on Accesory position it say Auto lighting active with bong. When I press it aggain it does not say anithing it just does bong aggain.
I don't have sensor installed and I have programed daytime running low beam lights because it is law in my country.
Now I have question:
Do I need sensor for coming home function or I have to turn of my daytime running lights? I had tryed both metods and it doesn't work.
