EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/3)
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;
– automatically, if the ring 2 is in
AUTO position and if the main beam
headlights are not switched on. The
lights will go out automatically when
the engine is switched off, the dri-
ver’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, taking into ac-
count the exterior light level, without
moving the stalk 1.
Lights-on reminder buzzer
When the lights have been left on after
turning the engine off, a warning beep
will sound when the driver’s door is
opened to remind you that the lights
are still on.
gFront fog lights
Turn the centre ring 4 on the
stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite
mark 3, then release it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting position selected,
and an indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
Cornering lights function
Whenever the dipped beam headlights
are on and under certain conditions (at
speed, the steering wheel at an angle,
in forward gear, the indicator lights on,
etc.), when taking a corner one of the
front fog lights will come on to light the
inside of the bend.

áMain beam headlights
With the engine running and
the dipped beam headlights on, push
stalk 1. This indicator light on the instru-
ment panel comes on.
To return to the dipped headlight posi-
tion, pull stalk 1 towards you again.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/3)
fRear fog light
Turn the centre ring 4 on
the stalk until the symbol is opposite
mark 3, then release it.
Depending on the vehicle, the stalk re-
turns to the initial position or stays in
position.
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.
Turning off the fog lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, depending on the vehi- cle, turn the ring 4 again to bring the
mark 3 opposite the symbol for the
fog light that you want to switch off,
or bring the ring 4 into position 0. The
corresponding indicator light will go
out on the instrument panel;
– the lights will go out automati- cally when the engine is switched
off or the vehicle is locked, and the
fog lights when the driver’s door is
opened.
The front and rear fog lights switch off
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).

éHazard warning lights
Press switch 2.
This switch activates all four direction
indicators and the side indicator lights
simultaneously. It must only be used in
an emergency to warn drivers of other
vehicles that you have had to stop in
an area where stopping is prohibited or
unexpected, or that you are obliged to
drive under special conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on auto-
matically under heavy deceleration.
You can switch them off by pressing
switch 2 once.
Direction indicators
Move stalk 1 parallel to the steering
wheel and in the direction you are going
to turn it.
One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the
steering wheel may not be turned suf-
ficiently to return the stalk automatically
to its starting position.
In this case, move the stick 1 to half-
way, then release it: it will return to its
initial position and the indicator light
flashes three times.
Horn
Press steering wheel boss A.
Headlight flasher
Pull stalk 1 towards you to flash the

Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows
down whenever the vehicle stops. For
example: the speed will change from
a fast wiping speed to normal wiping
speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
Any action on stalk 1 overrides and
cancels automatic operation.
Starting the vehicle with the stalk in
position D triggers a slow continuous
sweeping movement. Adjusting the
stalk to position D is necessary to trig-
ger a rapid continuous sweeping move-
ment.
Vehicles with automatic wiper
function
With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed:
– E: minimum sensitivity
– F: maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during
snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-
cally triggered and remains under
the driver’s control.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.
With the ignition on, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.
Depending on the vehicle, the wipers
may stop for a few seconds between
wipes. It is possible to change the
time between sweeps by turning
ring 2.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

ing the windscreen, etc.)
return stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 to-
wards you.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.

windscreen washer, continuous sweep-
ing until the end of the request, then
three return sweeps, then after a few
seconds, a fourth.

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure
they are not stuck to the windscreen
(including the central area located
behind the interior rear-view mirror)
and the rear screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
ing).
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.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position A (park).
Risk of injury.
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”.

1.66
pRear windscreen wash/
wiper
With ignition on, turn the end of the
stalk 2 to bring the mark 1 in line with
the symbol. When the stalk is released,
it returns to the rear windscreen wiper
position.
A short pull triggers the rear windscreen
wipers.
A prolonged action triggers, in addition
to the rear windscreen wipers, a contin-
uous sweep until the stalk is released,
then two return wipes followed by a
third, after a few seconds.
Special note
If the windscreen wipers are operat-
ing or are in automatic mode, the rear
screen wiper wipes intermittently when
reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on the vehicle, you can
deactivate this function on the touch
screen. Please see the equipment in-
structions for further information.
YSpeed-dependent
timed rear screen
wiper
With the ignition on, turn the end of
the stalk 2 to align the mark 1 with the
symbol.
Wiping frequency varies with speed.
REAR SCREEN WASH/WIPE
21
In freezing or snowy weather, ensure
they are not stuck to the windscreen
(including the central area located
behind the interior rear-view mirror)
and the rear screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
ing).
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.
Before any action on the windscreen (washing the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen, etc.), return the stalk 1 to the park position.
Risk of injury or damage.
