Auto Headlights Sensitivity Settings

[MEP's Yaris GS]

Hi, we've a 2014 Yaris Trend which has replaced our original 2001 Yaris GS - A bit of a step up in the world.

Just wanting to know if anyone has managed to work out the sensitivity settings for the auto headlights?

I want to work out whether I need it on max +ve or -ve in the settings to make them come on as early as possible as soon as its only slightly over cast (hope this makes sense).

Would have thought that +ve would increase the sensitivity and -ve would decrease the sensitivity - so if you want them to be more sensitive to the light level (ie to turn on early), it needs to be max +ve.

I've played about with mine (an Avensis) while the car was being driven on a dull(ish) day. Moving to minus turned the lights off, so moving to positive should bring them on earlier, as suggested by frostyballs.

Thanks for your responses guys, I'll adjust it accordingly.

Where is this + & - switch, I'm sure ours has only 'auto' option?

Within the touch and Go options.

I wondered about that too. It is mentioned in the handbook in the lights section but states that it can only be changed using specialised equipment at a dealer (Page 299). Therefore I didn't follow up on it.

However, delving further into "customisation" it would appear that, as Jonathan says it's possible in the T & G options using the touchscreen as well as the dealer. Default at 3 and sensitivity range 1-5. (page 690)

I don't use the auto lights function anyway, I'll decide when they go on, not a computer.

Managed to have a play on the weekend, on a wet dull day, and can confirm the same findings with the Yaris, minus turned them off in the dull conditions and positive turned them back on.
