quick auto lights question

[Bertrum]

hi guys,

got a quick question about auto lights.

When were these fitted as standard spec to the 406? Im wondering because SB says i should have them but my manual dosnt mention them at all.

My car is 2001 2.2 hdi exec

cheers

They will definitely be on your exec model

Doesn't it only affect multiplex cars? What does the button on the end of your indicator stalk do Bertrum?

If i press & hold in the button on the end of my indicator stalk,in turns on/off the auto lights,& you get a beep & message of the center display screen telling you.Mines a 2003 SE.

Same here - message only when turning on though, just beeps when you turn them off.

the button on the end of the stalk just repeats the last sat nav voice command. does nothing if i hold it for 5 secs. guess i dont have it then.

Not wanting to cause offence,but have you tryed it with the sat nav off???
When my sat nav worked,& i was using it,if i pressed the end of the indicator stalk,mine would also repeat the last sat nav command.
Also,do you have the auto dimming rear view mirror?And if so,the sensor behind it visable at the top of the windscreen??

i tried it with the nav off (ive never used it, lol) just used that as an example as thats what the button is supposed to do.

And yeah i have the auto rear view mirror which on the front of the windscreen has two sensors. I thought they were only for the auto wipers (which mine has got)

Im thinking ill give a quick call to pug. See if they can tell me.

Don't bother - mine has three sensors in front of the mirror

The auto-dimming mirror is largely self-contained. It has two light sensors built into the mirror housing itself (one at the front, one at the back) and all it gets from the car is power and a feed from the reverse gear switch
