Activation/Deactivation
F Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the
"AUTO" position.
Activation and deactivation are done
via the Driving/Vehicle menu of the
touch screen.
The state of the system stays in memory when
switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or if
the traffic conditions do not allow illumination of
the main beam headlamps:
- dipped beam is maintained,
these indicator lamps come on in
the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
- main beam comes on
automatically: these indicator
lamps come on in the instrument
panel.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
As soon as the vehicle leaves the area of thick
fog, the function reactivates automatically.
This indicator lamp goes off while the
function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
F 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.
Lighting and visibility
The system may suffer interference or not
work correctly:
- under poor visibility conditions (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
- if the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, etc.) in front of
the camera,
- 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.
