If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the function:
•

If the "
AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.
•

If the "
AUTO" and "Main beam"
indicator lamps were on, the system changes
to dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
–

When visibility c
onditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
–

If the windscreen in fron
t of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
–

If the v
ehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–

R

oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–

V

ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example, vehicles driving behind a safety
barrier on a motorway).
–

V

ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
DS MATRIX LED VISION
Available only on versions equipped with Full LED
headlamps with the Matrix Beam function.
This system automatically adapts the main
beam according to the driving conditions, so that
optimum illumination is maintained for the driver,
without causing a nuisance to other road users.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic, and for observation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
The system is active from 25 mph
(40 km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph
(20 km/h).
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightess, lights from oncoming or
followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the
beams of the main headlamps accordingly.
The modules that make up the main beams
switch on and off gradually, segment by segment,
depending on the driving conditions detected:
Followed vehicle

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only
those lamp segments directed at the followed
vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as
not to dazzle its driver.
Oncoming vehicle

When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
those lamp segments directed at this vehicle
go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the
duration of the approach.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (for
example, a town), the lamp segments are
gradually switched off from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle to switch to the dipped
beams.
Exiting an illuminated area
The lamp segments gradually light up from the
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the
main beams.
Activation/Deactivation
► Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the
"AUTO" position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
The function can be activated and
deactivated in the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes to
"automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
The status of the system remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
