Electrochrome interior rear
view mirror


The electrochrome system uses a sensor that
detects the level of exterior brightness and that
coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order to
automatically and gradually switch between day
and night usage.
To ensure optimum visibility while
manoeuvring, the mirror automatically
brightens when reverse gear is engaged.
The system is deactivated if the load in the
boot exceeds the height of the load space
cover or if the load space cover has items
placed on it.

Automatic DS PIXEL LED VISION
3.0 headlamp adjustment
This system automatically adjusts the height of
the headlamp beams according to the load in the
vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and an
audible signal.
The system places the headlamp beams in the
lowest position.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not touch the DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0
headlamps - risk of electrocution!
Automatic illumination of
lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come
on and this warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and/or the display of a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may
become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

"High beam" mode

At any time, this lighting mode can be triggered
by the Automatic headlamp dipping function
independent of the Adaptive Frontlight System
function.
This mode automatically adapts to the speed and
angle of the steering wheel.
The power and range of the lighting is maximised
to best illuminate the length and width of the
roadway.
Dynamic cornering lighting function

Available only with the "City" mode and "Road"
mode.
The headlamps follow the trajectory of the vehicle
in bends to provide better lighting of the road.
This is done by shifting the intensities of the light
area in the bends, to better anticipate obstacles
and changes in road direction.
This function operates from a certain angle of
rotation of the steering wheel and a certain yaw
speed.
DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations for automatic lighting
systems.
The DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0 system has the
Adaptive Frontlight System function and also
manages the high beam in conjunction with the
Automatic headlamp dipping function.
The DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0 headlamps
incorporate three LED modules:
–

a "Pix
el" module that varies the number of
LEDs lit and their intensity according to driving
conditions. This module manages the light flows
vertically and horizontally.
–

tw

o "Low beam" modules whose intensity only
varies with the fog mode.
All these LED modules contribute to the lighting in
the low beam and high beam positions.
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 in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
Activation/Deactivation
►  Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in
the “AUTO” position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes to
"Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightness, 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.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.
If the system is selected but the display on
the instrument panel and the alerts are not
available, the indicator lamp comes on in grey.
