Whit the ring of the lighting control lever is in the "AUTO” position and the function activated on the touch screen, this system automatically switches between dipped and main beam headlamps, according to the lighting and traffic conditions, using a camera located at the top of the windscreen.
WARNI NG
This system is a driving aid.The driver remains responsible for the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions, and for compliance with driving and vehicle regulations.
NOTIC E
The system becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 25 km/h (16 mph).When the speed falls below 15 km/h (9 mph), the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
The settings are changed via the Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.The state of the system is stored when the ignition is switched off.
Operation
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic conditions permit:– The main beam headlamps come on automatically. These indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.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 light up on the instrument panel.The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are switched on or if the system detects poor visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain, snowfall).When the fog lamps are switched off or the visibility conditions become favourable again, 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 lighting system switches
to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:
