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 25 mph (40 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 circumstances be
used to replace driver atten-
tion and responsibility with regard
to vehicle lighting and adapting to
light, visibility and traffic conditions.
The system may encounter difficul-
ties under certain conditions, inclu-
ding :
– 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;
– reflective systems;
– ...

Positions A, C and D are accessible
with the ignition on. Position E is
accessible only when the engine is
running.
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 wind- screen 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.
