     BATTERY  STANDBY  SYSTEM  
  If the vehicle is not to be used for a 
prolonged period, such as for winter storage, 
for example, it is strongly recommended that 
the battery be placed on standby in order to 
protect it and optimise its service life.  
  To place the battery on standby: 
   -   Switch  off  the  engine  ( STOP   position). 
  -   Press the red button, then turn the key 
to the  BATT   position.  
 The battery goes into standby about 
7 minutes later. 
 This time is necessary to: 
   -   Allow the user to get out of the vehicle 
and lock the doors with the remote 
control. 
  -   Ensure that all of the vehicle's electrical 
systems are deactivated.  
 When the battery is on standby, 
access to the vehicle is only possible 
by unlocking the vehicle using the key in the 
lock barrel in the driver's door. 
  After placing the battery on standby, 
settings (time, date, radio station 
presets...) are memorised.  
  To take the battery out of standby: 
   -   Turn the key to the  MAR   position. 
  -   Start the engine normally ( AV V   position).

     AUTOMATIC  HEADLAMP  DIPPING 
  System which automatically changes to main 
beam according to the ambient light level 
and the driving 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 
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and 
traffic and observation of driving and vehicle 
regulations.

  Activation 
  Operation 
 Once the function is activated, the system 
operates as follows: 
 If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or if 
the traffic conditions do not allow illumination 
of the main beam headlamps: 
 Refer to the "Technology on board - 
Vehicle configuration" section. 
Flash the headlamps (going beyond the 
point of resistance) to activate the function.   
  If the situation requires a change of 
headlamp beam, the driver can take over at 
any time. 
   Flashing the headlamps again pauses 
the function and the system changes to 
"automatic illumination of headlamps" 
mode.  
 The function is deactivated automatically 
below 9 mph (15 km/h). 
 If main beam is still needed, flash the 
headlamps again; main beam will then 
remain on until the vehicle reaches a speed 
of 25 mph (40 km/h). 
 Above 25 mph (40 km/h), the function is 
reactivated automatically (provided that the 
headlamps have not been flashed again in 
the meantime, to change to dipped beam).  
  Deactivation 
   Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the 
" Dipped beam "  position.   
  The system may suffer interference or 
not work correctly: 
   -   Under  conditions  of  poor  visibility 
(falling snow, heavy rain or dense 
fog, ...), 
  -   If the windscreen is dirty, misted or 
obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front 
of the camera, 
  -   If the vehicle is facing highly 
reflective  signs.   
  The system is not able to detect: 
   -   Road users that do not have their 
own lighting, such as pedestrians, 
  -   Vehicles  whose  lighting  is 
obscured, such as when running 
behind a safety barrier on a 
motorway, for example, 
  -   Vehicles at the top or bottom of a 
steep slope, on winding roads, on 
crossroads.       -   Dipped  beam  is  maintained, 
this indicator lamp comes 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.   
   Turn the lighting control stalk 
ring to this position. 
   Activate the function with the  MODE  
button; in the "Automatic headlamp 
dipping" menu, select "ON".

   Driving  safely   
     TRAFFIC  SIGN  RECOGNITION  
  This system is a driving aid that make 
use of a camera located at the top of the 
windscreen. 
 The camera detects the following types of 
traffic signs and displays the corresponding 
information in the instrument panel: 
   -   speed  limits, 
  -   no  overtaking.   
  The units for the speed limits (mph or 
km/h) depend on the country you are 
driving in. 
 It should be taken into account so that you 
observe the speed limit. 
 For the system to operate correctly when 
you change country, the units for speed in 
the instrument panel must be those for the 
country you are driving in.  
  The automatic reading of traffic signs is 
a driving assistance system and does 
not always display speed limits correctly. 
 The speed limit signs present on the road 
always take priority over the display by the 
system. 
 The system cannot in any circumstances 
replace the need for vigilance on the part of 
the driver. 
 The driver must observe the driving 
regulations and must adapt the speed of the 
vehicle to suit the weather and traffic. 
 It is possible for the system to not display 
the speed limit if it does not detect a speed 
limit sign within a preset period. 
 The system is designed to detect signs that 
conform to the Vienna Convention on traffic 
signs.  
  To maintain correct operation of the 
system: 
   -   Regularly clean the area in front of the 
camera. 
  -   Do not carry out any repairs to the area 
of the windscreen close to the camera 
lens.   
  When replacing headlamp bulbs, you 
are strongly recommended to fit genuine 
replacement parts. 
 The use of other bulbs could reduce the 
performance of the system.
