Lighting and visibility
Welcome lighting
With the "Automatic headlamp illumination"
function activated, in poor light, 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
When the ring is in the "AUTO" position, 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.
This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
48
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic, and for observation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
The system becomes operational when
the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
► Flash the headlamps (going beyond the point
of resistance) to activate the function.
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:
• 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 conditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
– If the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
– 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.
