quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- directional headlamps for im- proved visibility when cornering,

Model with rear foglamp only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, use of the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp is prohibited.
In these situations, the power of
their beams may dazzle other dri-
vers. They should only be used in
fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all
of the lamps turn off immediately,
except for the dipped beam head-
lamps if guide-me-home lighting is
activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes. Switching on the lamps after
the ignition is switched off

temporary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a period that depends on
the state of charge of the battery
(entering energy economy mode).

Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer-
tain countries, which comes on auto-
matically when the engine is started
making the vehicle more visible to
other users. Manual guide-me-home
lighting
The temporary lighting of dipped
headlamps after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes
the driver's exit easier when the light

lamps and number plate lamps.
- for other countries where it is provided,
by the use of dedicated LED lamps.
The instruments and controls (mul-
tifunction screen, air conditioning
control panel, ...) are not illuminated,
except in night mode with manual or
automatic illumination of headlamps.

try, they are used for:
