AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OFXENON HEADLAMPS


The remote switching on of the light-
ing and side spotlamps makes your ap-
proach to the vehicle easier in poor light.
It is activated depending on the light level
detected by the sunshine sensor.
The dipped beam headlamps and the
sidelamps come on, as well as the side
spotlamps, located under the door mir-
rors; your vehicle is also unlocked.
In order to avoid causing a nuisance to
other road users, this system corrects
the height of the xenon headlamp beams
automatically and when stationary, in re-
lation to the load in the vehicle.
If a malfunction occurs, this
warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen.
The system then places your headlamps
in the lowest position.
Do not touch the xenon head-
lamp bulbs.

qualifi ed workshop. The lighting duration is select-
ed via the vehicle confi guration
menu.

SEAT BELTS

Front seat belts


The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side im-
pact. Depending on the severity of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belts against
the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, so improving their protection.











Fastening

Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
in the buckle.

)
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.


Unfastening


)

or 2

comes on in red on the seat belt and pas-
senger's front airbag warning lamps dis-
play, accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, if the seat
belt is not fastened or is unfastened.

From approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)
this warning lamp fl ashes for two min-
utes accompanied by an audible signal
of increasing volume. Once these two
minutes have elapsed, this warning
lamp remains on until the driver and/or
the front passenger fastens their seat
belt.
