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 and the system changes to 
"automatic illumination of headlamps" mode:
–
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Dipped beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to main 
beam,
–
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Main beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to dipped 
beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps 
again.
The system may suffer interference or  not work correctly:
–
 
under conditions of poor visibility (snow
 , 
heavy rain, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is 
dirty , misted or obscured (for example, by a 
sticker, etc.),
–
 
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.
Clean the windscreen regularly, 
particularly the area in front of the 
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can 
also become misted around the camera. 
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the 
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could 
obstruct the detection camera.

After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► To return the wiper blades to their initial 
position, switch on the ignition and operate the 
wiper control stalk.
Changing a wiper blade
Removing/refitting at the front 
 
►  Carry out these wiper blade replacement 
operations from the driver's side.
►  Starting with the wiper blade farthest from 
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise 
it as far as possible.
Take care not to hold the arms at the jet  locations.
Do not touch the wiper blades. Risk of 
irreparable deformation.
Do not release them while moving them. Risk 
of damaging the windscreen!
On vehicles fitted with automatic air 
conditioning, any action on the 
screenwash control temporarily closes the air 
intake, to avoid odours inside the passenger 
compartment.
The windscreen wash jets are  incorporated into the tip of each wiper 
arm.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length 
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and 
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
In some cases, depending on the contents 
or colour of the fluid and on the exterior 
brightness, the liquid spray may be barely 
noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do  not operate the windscreen washer if the 
windscreen washer reservoir is empty.
Only operate the windscreen washer if 
there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the 
windscreen and hindering visibility. Always 
use windscreen washer fluid suitable for low 
temperatures during the winter period.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper 
 
Rear wiper selection ring:Off. 
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the 
speed of the vehicle).
Wash-wipe (set duration). 
Reverse gear
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper 
will come into operation automatically if the 
windscreen wipers are operating.
Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is  set via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
This system is activated by default. 
If a significant accumulation of snow or 
ice is present, or when using a bicycle 
carrier on the boot, deactivate the automatic 
rear wiper.
Special position of the 
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning 
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be 
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper 
blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat  wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–
 
handle them with care,
–
 
clean them regularly using soapy water
 ,
–
 
avoid using them to retain cardboard on the 
windscreen,
–
 
replace them at the first signs of wear
 .
Before removing a windscreen wiper blade 
 
► Actuating the wiper control stalk within one 
minute of switching off the ignition will position 
the wiper blades vertically
.
►
 
Proceed with the desired operation or replace 
the wiper blades.
