signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode. In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal. With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain countries, which comes on automatically when the engine is star ted making the vehicle more visible to other road users.

Switching on
The driver can take over at any time, if the circumstances dictate:
System which automatically changes between dipped and main beam according to the driving conditions, using a sensor in the rear view mirror. The system is active from 15 mph (25 km/h) and is deactivated below 9 mph (15 km/h).
 put the lighting control stalk on the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps" position,
Switching off
 or by dipping the headlamps manually using the lighting control stalk, whether in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps" position.
Flashing the headlamps does not deactivate the system. The state of the system is stored in
memory when switching off the ignition. This automatic headlamp dipping system is a driving aid. The driver remains responsible for the vehicle's
lighting and its correct use for the prevailing conditions of light, visibility and traffic.
The system may suffer inter ference or not work correctly: - under conditions of poor visibility (for example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick fog, ...), - if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the sensor, - if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect: - road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians, - road users whose lighting is obscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on a motor way, for example), - road users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on crossroads.
