Smart Light Assist - not available after car has had a service!

Featured Replies

Driving back home tonight after picking the car up after it's service and I noticed that SLA isn't available.

Is there a setting hidden deep somewhere that might have been deselected?

How can a routine oil change and onboard systems check deselect or affect your lights like this? Do you mean the automatic headlight beam shaping to avoid blinding oncoming traffic? You've obviously checked Vehicle settings/ Lights. Hope it's something stupidly simple, otherwise you end up looking daft... I took my VRS back after an oil service as it hunted on tickover. I was too annoyed to stop and lift the bonnet.  If I had, I would have seen that the dealer tech had not pushed the dipstick fully home and it was sucking air into the engine. The morning after the next visit following a cambelt change, both wiper arms retaining nuts had been left finger tight, so the wipers looked normal but remained stationary as the splines,  unseen by me , rotated but couldn't grip/move the wiper arms. I took it back to the dealer after I'd checked the fuse,  to see why they weren't working and felt a bit silly.  Then again you'd hope that it would all be put back together correctly in the first place.

I've been out in the car tonight and only managed to find a DLA setting which was turned on already. An off/on didn't sort it and neither did a lock/leave. Time to up the ante with a soft reset - but that didn't work either. Contemplating a partial infotainment reset and thought to check the light switch position. Lo and behold it was in the dipped beam position and not auto!

Problem solved but I'll leave this here as a reminder to firstly check the obvious. :blush

Whenever mine comes back from service the auto parking brake and headlight switch are both turned off. Getting used to it now!
