Default Auto Lights for Xenons

Guys,

I was studying the Auto-lights features in the user manual. I noticed that you can make the auto-headlights to have less sensitivity.

Does anyone know whats the difference between -2 to +2?

I am trying to save my xenons (by not having it turned on whenever, i go past a short tunnel).

I understand that xenons ages a lot when switched on and off multiple times.

Any advice?

Thanks!!

Going towards +2 will make them come on in brighter conditions. Going towards -2 makes them turn on in darker conditions.

I have my RXh ones on -2, otherwise, theyre on all the time.

It's something along the following lines:

Menu -> Scroll right
Vehicle Settings
Maybe light settings
Light sensitivity

It probably varies by country.

In Canada, LED are on the top Luxury trims but not on any F-Sport.

Yes, it does vary by country.

For Canada, the LED headlamps is only available in the IS 350 AWD Executive Package.
