Association with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic illumination of headlamps provides "guide-me-home"
lighting with the following additional op-
tions:


- selection of the lighting duration to 15,
30 or 60 seconds in the functions that
can be set in the vehicle confi gura-
tion menu (except in the case of the
monochrome screen A, for which the

nation of headlamps is in operation.

sor may detect suffi cient light.

come on automatically.

sor, coupled with the rain sensor

windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.

In the event of a fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lighting
come on, this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
