Switching off the lighting when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps switch off immediately, except for the dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home lighting is activated.
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has been switched off makes the driver's exit easier when the light is poor.
Switching on
With the ignition off, "flash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk. A fur ther "headlamp flash" switches the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after a set time.

- in countries where it is imposed by regulations, by illumination of the dipped beam headlamps associated with illumination of the sidelamps and number plate lamps. - for other countries where it is provided, by illumination of dedicated lamps associated with illumination of the sidelamps and number plate lamps.
The instruments and controls (multifunction screen, air conditioning control panel, ...) are not illuminated, except in night mode with manual or automatic illumination of headlamps.
Daytime running lamps
This function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.
Switching on the lighting when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A to position A"0" - lighting off, then to the position of your choice. If the lighting is switched on manually after
switching off the ignition, there is an audible signal when a front door is opened to warn the driver that they have forgotten to switch off the vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off. They switch off automatically after a period which depends on the state of charge of the battery (entry to energy economy mode).
