LIGHTING CONTROLS

System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.

Main lighting

The various front and rear lamps of the
vehicle are designed to adapt the driver's
visibility progressively according to the
climatic conditions:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clear-
ly when the road is clear.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are provided to meet the
requirements of particular driving con-
ditions:


- rear foglamps,

- front foglamps with cornering lighting,

- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering,

- daytime running lamps to be more
visible during the day,

- guide-me-home and welcome light-
ing to facilitate access to the vehicle,

- parking lamps as vehicle position
markers.



Programming

The setting of some functions can be
adjusted:


- daytime running lamps,

- automatic illumination of headlamps,

- guide-me-home lighting,

- welcome lighting,

- directional lighting.

In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the inter-
nal surface of the glass of the
headlamps and rear lamps is nor-
mal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

sor, coupled with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the
windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.
