Automatic main beam
headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system
switches the main beam headlights on
and off automatically. The function uses
a camera located behind the interior
rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that
are following and coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The main beam headlights come on au-
tomatically if:
– exterior light is weak;
– no other vehicles or lighting are de-tected;
– the vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 30 mph (45 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not
fulfilled, the system switches to dipped
beam headlights.
The “automatic main beam headlights” system should under no circum\
-
stances be used to replace driver attention and responsibility with rega\
rd
to vehicle lighting and adapting to light, visibility and traffic conditions.
Using the portable naviga-
tion system at night in the
windscreen area below the
camera may disturb the op-
eration of the “automatic main beam
headlights” system (risk of reflection
on the windscreen).
Activation
Turn ring 3 until the AUTO symbol is op-
posite mark 2.
Pull stalk 1 to activate main beam
headlights.
Warning light
 comes on the in-
strument panel.
Deactivation
– pull stalk 1 again;
or
– turn ring 3 to a position other than
AUTO.
Warning light
 goes out on the in-
strument panel. Operating faults
When the message “Check auto light-
ing” appears on the instrument panel,
the system is deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/5)
Turning on the fog lights deactivates
the system and prevents it from
being activated.
The system may encounter difficul-
ties under certain conditions, includ-
ing
:
– extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.);
– obstruction in front of the wind- screen or camera;
– when a following or oncoming ve- hicle has weak or hidden lighting;
– incorrect settings for the front headlights;
– reflecting systems.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/5)
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.
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 3 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 3.
NB: if the fog lights are on, the lighting
is not switched off automatically.
Daytime running lights
function
Depending on the vehicle, the day-
time running lights come on (only at the
front) without starting the engine. To ac-
tivate or deactivate this function, refer
to the information on the “Vehicle set-
tings customisation menu” in Section 1.
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.
Special features
– For vehicles fitted with automatic lighting, if the dipped beam head-
lights are manually switched on and
the light is sufficient, the directional
headlights 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.

Lights-on reminder buzzer
If the lights are on after the engine is
switched off, a warning beep sounds
when the driver’s door is opened to
warn you that the lights are still on.
“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 switched off, the
lights off and ring 3 in position 0 or,
depending on the vehicle, AUTO, pull
stalk 1 towards you: the dipped beam
headlights come on for approximately
thirty seconds. To increase this du-
ration, you may pull the stalk up to
four times (total time restricted to two
minutes). The message “See-me-
home _ _ _” along with the time the
lights will be on for is displayed on the
instrument panel to confirm this action.
You can then lock your vehicle.
To switch off the lights before they go
out automatically, turn ring 3 to any po-
sition, then return it to the AUTO posi-
tion .

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (5/5)
gFront fog lights
Turn centre ring 5 on stalk 1
until the symbol faces mark 4, then re-
lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting position selected,
and an indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
fRear fog light
Turn centre ring 5 on the stalk
until the symbol faces mark 4, then re-
lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road
users, remember to switch off the rear
fog light when it is no longer needed.
Switching off the lights
Turn ring 5 again until mark 4 is oppo-
site the symbol for the fog light that you
wish to switch off. The corresponding
indicator light on the instrument panel
goes out.

when the exterior lights are switched
off.
When driving in fog or snow, or
when transporting objects which are
higher than the roof, the headlights
do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains
the responsibility of the driver: the
indicator lights on the instrument
panel inform you whether the fog
lights are lit (indicator light on) or not
(indicator light not on).

Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the vehi-
cle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.Vehicle fitted with intermittent
windscreen wipers

ral seconds between sweeps. It
is possible to change the time
between sweeps by turning ring 2.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (1/4)
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the winds- creen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.

– E: minimum sensitivity
– F: maximum sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the quic-
ker the wipers will react and the
faster the wipe.
Note:
– the rain sensor is only intended
as a driving aid. In the event of re-
duced visibility, the driver should
manually activate the wipers. In
foggy weather or during snow-
falls, wiping is not automatically
triggered and remains under the
driver’s control;
Do not try to lift the wiper blades.
They cannot remain detached from
the windscreen. To replace the
blades, refer to Section 5: “Wiper
blades”.
In freezing or snowy weather, clear
the windscreen (including the cen-
tral area located behind the inte-
rior rear-view mirror) and the rear
screen before starting the wipers
(risk of motor overheating).
