Automatic headlights.

[Perec]

Advice required: Does a 61 plate Cooper Countryman have auto headlights?

The manual suggests yes but then it also says some features are described that may not be on the car, so I am unsure.

The auto headlights are unlikely to come as standard - probably within one of the options packs.

The MINI manuals generally tell you how to use all the options - just to let you know how under specced your car is.....

It just says "position 3" however, I suspect that also covers "on" for those cars without the option.

Have a look at the windscreen to see if the sensors are there.

OK what do they look like?

If it's got auto lights, on the light stalk you will have a position at the bottom of the rotary switch with a picture of a headlight with an "A" in it.

Generally you will also have auto wipers (Same "A" symbol on the end button on the wiper stalk) if you have auto headlights.

The sensor for the auto lights/wipers, looks like this and is positioned behind your rear view mirror.

Ah thanks. I don't think we have auto lights. I tested them in bright light today and they came on at position 3.

Thanks for the info guys.
