Driving light sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The driving light sensor is also an optical sensor. It consists of 2 photosensors and the corresponding evaluation electronics. One photosensor is aligned forwards and it picks up the light that strikes the front (frontal light). The second diode is aligned upwards and it picks up the light striking from above (ambient brightness).
