EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/3)
Special note:
–  If the dipped beam headlights are manually switched on and if the light 
is sufficient, the directional head-
lights will remain fixed;
–  If the lights come on automatically  when cornering, the directional 
headlights will start working from the 
next time the vehicle corners;
–  When the dipped beam headlights  are switched on with the engine 
running and the vehicle stationary, 
the lights move to reinitialise them-
selves. If not, there is a system fault.
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
–  Manually, move ring  2 to position 0;
–  automatically, the lights will go out  when the engine is switched off, the 
driver’s door is opened or the vehicle 
is locked. In this case, the next time 
the engine is started the lights will be 
switched back on according to the 
position of the ring  2.
Note: if the fog lights are lit, the lights 
are not switched off automatically.
“See-me-home lighting” 
function
This function allows you to briefly switch 
on the dipped beam headlights (to pro-
vide light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights off  and 
the ring 2 in the position  0, pull stalk 1 
towards you: the dipped beam head-
lights come on for approximately thirty 
seconds. To increase this duration, you 
may pull the stalk up to four times (total 
time restricted to two minutes). The 
message “See-me-home” along with 
the times the lights will be on for is dis-
played on the instrument panel to con-
firm this action.
To switch off the lights before they go 
out automatically, turn ring  2 to any po-
sition, then return it to position  0.
Directional headlights
Depending on the vehicle, with the 
dipped beam headlights on and under 
certain conditions (speed, steering 
wheel angle, forwards gear selected, 
etc.) when cornering, the dipped beam 
headlights move to light the inside of 
the bend.
Operating faults
Depending on the vehicle, when the 
message “Check lighting” appears on 
the instrument panel along with the 
© warning light, this indicates that 
there is a lighting fault.
Consult an approved dealer.

ing in areas where the roads have 
been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves, 
etc.) from the vehicle regularly. 
Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances 
when driving on gravelled surfaces to 
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas 
where the paint has been damaged, to 
prevent corrosion spreading.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products 
to care for your vehicle and you can 
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to 
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper” 
in Section 1). Check the mounting of 
external accessories, additional lights 
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper 
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your 
vehicle is fitted with this equipment. 
Remember to remove the tape and refit 
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic 
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool 
to clean them. If this does not clean 
them properly, moisten the cloth with 
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft 
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry 
cloth.
Cleaning  products  containing  alco-
hol must not  be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint 
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
–  use wax-based products (polishing);
–   rub too hard;
–   wash the vehicle in a roller-type car 
wash;
–   wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
–   attach stickers to the paintwork (risk 
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty 
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle 
sponge.
