alz Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi, on my old escort, the dimmers worked the head ligths, when the side ligths was on, the head ligths came on at a reduced power setting, it could be posible it does,the same thing on the new focus. or it could just mean that the dails dimm at night..

(Coming home function) Does selecting Auto then allow you to select a duration in seconds 10 20 30 etc Seem to have tried everything all seams to work how ever you set it up. You can use the coming home function in two ways, you can set the amount of time that the lights stay on, or you can pull the lights stalk then the lights stay on that way.Setting the dimming function doesn't seam to have any effect.

Matt Birdsall Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 It's to control the dimming of the instruments. If you have it set to AUTO the buttons on the lower right of the steering column have no effect. If you set it to MANUAL the buttons adjust the brightness up and down. I have mine on AUTO, works fine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuke Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi, I thought it was only to do with dimming the lcd screens when it is dark so they don't distract the driver.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
