Detection for driving lights

When the light switch is in the position for automatic driving lights control, the driving light sensor is activated. The change in lighting conditions in front of the vehicle and in the surrounding area of the vehicle is picked up by the light-sensitive sensors. The lighting condition is processed by the evaluation electronics and transmitted via the LIN bus to the junction box electronics. Depending on the brightness, with the automatic driving lights control active, the driving light is switched on and off.
