Lighting and visibility
4Daytime running lamps /
Sidelamps


The front lamps light up automatically when the
engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
–
Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk in
the "

AUTO" position with adequate light level).
–

Sidelamps (lighting control stalk in the " AUT

O"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps only”
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as daytime running lamps.
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
►

Depending on version, within one minute of
switching off the ignition, operate the lighting
control stalk up or down depending on the traffic
side (for example: when parking on the left; lighting control stalk upwards; the right-hand
sidelamps come on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
T

o switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
Guide-me-home lighting
Manual

Switching on/off
► With the ignition off, "flash" the headlamps
using the lighting control stalk to switch the
function on or off.
Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off
automatically at the end of a given period of
time.
Automatic
With the ring in the "AUTO" position, when the
light is poor, the dipped beam headlamps come
on automatically when the ignition is switched
off.
The activation, deactivation and duration of guide-me-
home lighting are set in the vehicle configuration
menu.
Automatic exterior welcome lighting
With the "Automatic headlamp illumination"
function activated, when the light is poor, the
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps come
on automatically when the vehicle is unlocked.
Activation, deactivation and
the duration of the exterior
welcome lighting are set in the vehicle
configuration menu.
Automatic headlamp dipping
This system automatically changes between
dipped and main beam headlamps according to
the brightness and driving conditions, using a
camera located at the top of the windscreen.
This system is a driving aid.

To avoid inconvenience to other road users,
the height of the halogen headlamps should be
adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.

prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic, and for observation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
The system will be operational as soon
as you exceed 16 mph (25 km/h).
If the speed drops below 9 mph (15
km/h), the
system no longer operates.


Activation/Deactivation
Activation and deactivation are done via the vehicle
configuration menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes
to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam headlamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
come on on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headlamps
come on automatically . These
indicator lamps come on on the instrument
panel.
The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are
switched on or the system detects dense fog.
When the fog lamps are switched off or the
vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function
is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the
function and the system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps" mode:
–

if the "AUT
O" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam,
– if the "AUT O" and "Main beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to dipped
beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
–

under conditions of poor visibility (snow
,
heavy rain, etc.),
–

if the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty

, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),
–

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


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


vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
–


vehicles 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.

Wiper control stalk
Programming
Your vehicle may also include some functions
that can be activated/deactivated:
–

automatic windscreen wipers,
–


rear wiping on engaging reverse gear
.
In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and the
windscreen seal, before operating the wipers.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are
not stuck to the windscreen before operating
the wipers.
Manual controls
The wipers are controlled directly by the driver.
With manual wiping (intermittent)



With AUTO wiping

Windscreen wipers
► To select the wiping speed: raise or lower the
stalk to the desired position.
Fast wiping (heavy rain)
Normal wiping (moderate rain)
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the
vehicle’s speed)
Off
or
Automatic wiping (press down, then release).
Single wipe (pull the stalk briefly towards you).

After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► To return the wiper blades to their initial
position, switch on the ignition and operate the
wiper control stalk.
Changing a wiper blade
Removing/refitting at the front

► Carry out these wiper blade replacement
operations from the driver's side.
► Starting with the wiper blade farthest from
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise
it as far as possible.
Take care not to hold the arms at the jet locations.
Do not touch the wiper blades. Risk of
irreparable deformation.
Do not release them while moving them. Risk
of damaging the windscreen!
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash and windscreen wipers operate
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
On vehicles fitted with automatic air
conditioning, any action on the
screenwash control temporarily closes the air
intake, to avoid odours inside the passenger
compartment.
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper
arm.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
In some cases, depending on the contents
or colour of the fluid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be barely
noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the windscreen washer if the
windscreen washer reservoir is empty.
Only operate the windscreen washer if
there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the
windscreen and hindering visibility. Always
use windscreen washer fluid suitable for low
temperatures during the winter period.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper

Rear wiper selection ring:
Off.
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the
speed of the vehicle).
Wash-wipe (set duration).
Reverse gear
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the
windscreen wipers are operating.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via the vehicle
configuration menu.
This system is activated by default.
If a significant accumulation of snow or
ice is present, or when using a bicycle
carrier on the boot, deactivate the automatic
rear wiper.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper
blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–

handle them with care,
–


clean them regularly using soapy water
,
–

avoid using them to retain cardboard on the
windscreen,
–


replace them at the first signs of wear
.
Before removing a windscreen wiper blade

► Actuating the wiper control stalk within one
minute of switching off the ignition will position
the wiper blades vertically
.
►

Proceed with the desired operation or replace
the wiper blades.

view mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity
of the rain without any action on the part of the
driver.
