ERGONOMICS AND COMFORT
Steering wheel controls
AUTOMATIC LIGHTING
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
the side lights and dipped headlamps are
switched on automatically if the light is
poor and when continuous operation of the
windscreen wipers is detected.
In fog or snow, the brightness sensor may
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lights
will not be switched on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns
to a sufficient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off. HEADLAMP BEAM
You are advised to adjust the height of the
headlamp beams in accordance with the load in
your vehicle.
This function can be accessed in the dipped
headlamps and main beam headlamps position.
SIDE/PARKING LIGHTS
This system enables you to leave the side
lights on when parked; with the ignition off,
key in the
PARK position or key removed.
Activation
Turn the ring to this position.
The lights are switched off
automatically when the ignition is
switched off.
Do not cover the brightness sensor at
the top centre of the windscreen.

position.
Within 2 minutes after switching
off the engine, position the
ignition key in the STOP position or remove it.
Pull the lights stalk towards the steering
wheel.
The indicator light comes on the
instrument panel.
Each action on the lights stalk, pulled
towards the steering wheel, prolongs the
follow me home lighting by 30 seconds up
to approximately 3 minutes. When this time
has elapsed, the lights are switched off
automatically.
Deactivate this control by keeping the stalk
pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 consecutive seconds. Press this control turning the
key one notch in the opposite
direction to starting at the same
time. You can then remove
the key.

windscreen:
De-icing the rear screen and mirrors
Only operates when the engine
is running. Pressing this button
activates the rapid demisting-
de-icing of the rear screen and
mirrors.

resumes when the engine is started again.
Pressing this button switches the function off.
- increase the air flow setting,
- move the exterior air intake control temporarily to air
recirculation.
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness of
the de-icing and demisting. Do not obstruct
these air outlets.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
The air recirculation (which can be activated
by the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, the norm is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.

This PIN is independent of your SIM card
and your mobile's access code.
Once your handset has been paired, there is
no need to keep a trace of this number.
If you change your mobile telephone, you
must repeat the matching procedure as you
will be given a new PIN. Look for the option which permits
displaying of the Bluetooth ®
system
detected by your telephone.

It is important to wait until the name of
the telephone is displayed.
Pressing MAIN or ESC during the pairing
phase may cancel the procedure.
If the pairing fails, an error message will
appear; in this case, repeat the procedure.
