Deactivation
When the lights are switched off by the sensor, the dipped
beam headlights and side lights are switched off and the
day lights are switched on (if activated).
The sensor is not capable of detecting the presence of fog
therefore, in these circumstances, the lights have to be
turned on manually.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH CORNERING LIGHTS
FUNCTION
When the dipped headlamps are on and the speed is be-
low 40 km/h, if the steering wheel rotation angle is large
or the direction indicators are on, a light (incorporated in
the fog light) will come on on the relevant side to improve
visibility at nightime. The function can be acti-
vated/deactivated via the display menu (see “Display”
paragraph in this chapter). AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor) fig. 27
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It detects variations in brightness outside the vehicle de-
pending on the light setting: the greater the sensitivity,
the less outside light needed to activate the exterior lights
being turned on. The sensitivity of the dusk sensor may
be adjusted, using the “Set-up menu” on the instrument
panel.
Activation
When the ring nut is turned to the AUTO position the ex-
ternal lights automatically switch on depending on the
exterior brightness.
The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor on.The daytime running lights are an alterna-
tive to the dipped beam headlights for dri-
ving during the daytime in countries where
it is compulsory to have lights on during the day,
and they are also permitted in those countries
where this not obligatory.
Daytime running lights cannot replace dipped
headlights when driving at night or through tunnels.
The use of daytime running lights is governed by
the highway code of the country in which you are
driving. Comply with legal requirements.

When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
The engagement of the device is signalled by the Üwarn-
ing light coming on in the instrument panel (together
with a message shown on the display) (see “Instrument
panel warning lights” paragraph in this chapter).
STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❍turn the ring nut A-fig. 31 to ON and press the ac-
celerator until the vehicle reaches the desired speed;
❍turn the ring nut to (+) for at least three seconds, then
release it. The vehicle speed is now memorised and
you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can accel-
erate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal; when you
come off the pedal, the car will return to the speed mem-
orised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by de-
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised speed
can be restored as follows:
❍accelerate gradually until reaching a speed ap-
proaching the memorised speed;
❍engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rising (fourth, fifth or sixth gear);
❍press button C-fig. 31.INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❍by temporarily turning ring nut B-fig. 31 to (+).
Each movement of the selector wheel will correspond to
a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h), while keeping
the selector wheel turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❍by disengaging the device and then memorising the
new speed;
or
❍by keeping ring nut B-fig. 31 turned to (–) until the
new speed is reached; it will then be memorised au-
tomatically.
Each movement of the ring nut will corresponds to
a slight reduction in speed (about 1 km/h), while keep-
ing the ring nut turned will correspond to a continuous
reduction in speed.
