Starting a new thread as cannot find anything on search facility about this.
My 2016 1.5dci n-connecta has auto lights. The stalk setting is left on auto and past few days nothing unusual noticed.
This morning driving along in daylight, lights are off, then I notice the full beam light come on itself for no reason.
I switched them off using the stalk control for a few minutes, then went back to auto - they still came on.
(Windscreen was clear, and I had not been through any areas where it was in shade or under bridges).
is this usual with auto-lights to come on/off for no obvious reason?
thanks in advance.

This certainly looks like a defect in the auto-lights feature on your car. In my experience over 2 years, this feature has worked impeccably & I notice that it uses the combination of outiside light intensity , time & time zone.
It comes on when entering a tunnel or in a parking lot and goes off immediately when i am out of the covered area. It also comes on after 20:00H even if there is enough ambient light outside.
As for high beams, they are quite precise, coming on only if the road ahead is totally dark & there are no on coming cars or not following a another car.

Mine came on this morning on a bright M56 but it was 06:45, so maybe the time thing overrode the ambient light

I think someones having a laugh..........................I thought the settings were more to do with the ambient light level and the switching on/off of the lights in relation to it.
