Default TOAF user guide

Hi, is there a useful guide to TOAF for use with the R75, I was hoping to use it to enable my headlights to be switched on when the engine is running.

Anyone know if it is possible.
Thanks

There's a little switch by your right knee, turn it clockwise 😎😁

An extract from the only users guide I know of:

1. Click on the “LCM” module button

Daylight Running Lights.
Switches on dipped beams at 30% brightness with ignition even with lights switched off.
WARNINGS: May not be acceptable for MOT. Multiple reports that enabling this option using current version of TOAF causes side lights to remain non-functional after the option has been disabled, requiring a restore from the backup you’re just about to make.:

2. Click the “Backup” button and save the file.
3. Scroll down to “Other” and expand with “+” symbol on left.
4. Find “Automatic Light”. There are options for Disable, Enable 30%, On engine start or On ignition.
5. Save (again, make sure you have a backup of the original configuration first).

As above, back-up the LSM and if things do go wrong you've always got the ability to "restore"

Good luck

Thanks for the response, however the wise would do well to take notice of the warnings, as such i am reluctant to experiment lest i cause problems, i have never been fond of restoring from backups in any case, thanks to all.
