Switching on the lamps after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
ring A
to the "0"
position - lamps off,
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the
sidelamps, switch off automatically
after a maximum duration of thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of the
battery.
LED lamps
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Daytime running lamps
Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain
countries, which comes on automati-
cally when the engine is started making
the vehicle more visible to other users.
This function is assured:
- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations,
by illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps; this function
cannot be deactivated.
- for other countries where it is
provided,
by the use of dedicated lamps
(bulbs or LEDs); this function can
be activated or deactivated via the
vehicle confi guration menu.
The lighting control stalk must be placed in
the "0"
or "AUTO"
(day mode) position.
Deactivation of the daytime running
lamps is effective after operation of the
lighting control stalk or after the next
engine start; activation is effective im-
mediately.
The instruments and controls (instrument
panel, multifunction screen, air conditioning
control panel, ...) are not illuminated, except
in night mode with manual or automatic il-
lumination of headlamps.
They come on when the engine is started.
Depending on the destination country,
they are used for:
- daytime running lamps * in day mode
and sidelamps in night mode (they
are brighter when daytime running
lamps),
or
- sidelamps in day and night mode.
Where LED lamps are fi tted, the fi la-
ment bulbs for the daytime running
lamps / sidelamps in the front lamp units
are not used.
*
function that can be set in the vehicle
confi guration menu.
