posite mark 3: with the engine running,
the dipped beam headlights switch on
or off automatically depending on the

Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;
– automatically, if the ring 2 is in
AUTO position and if the main beam
headlights are not switched on. The
lights will go out automatically when
the engine is switched off, the dri-
ver’s door is opened or the vehicle
is locked. In this case, the next time
the engine is started, the lights will
be switched back on according to the
position of the ring 2, taking into ac-
count the exterior light level, without
moving the stalk 1.

turning the engine off, a warning beep
will sound when the driver’s door is
opened to remind you that the lights
are still on.
gFront fog lights

stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite
mark 3, then release it.

éHazard warning lights
Press switch 2.
This switch activates all four direction
indicators and the side indicator lights
simultaneously. It must only be used in
an emergency to warn drivers of other
vehicles that you have had to stop in
an area where stopping is prohibited or
unexpected, or that you are obliged to
drive under special conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard
warning lights may come on auto-
matically under heavy deceleration.
You can switch them off by pressing
switch 2 once.

wheel and in the direction you are going
to turn it.

way, then release it: it will return to its
initial position and the indicator light
flashes three times.

Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows
down whenever the vehicle stops. For
example: the speed will change from
a fast wiping speed to normal wiping
speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
Any action on stalk 1 overrides and
cancels automatic operation.
Starting the vehicle with the stalk in
position D triggers a slow continuous
sweeping movement. Adjusting the
stalk to position D is necessary to trig-
ger a rapid continuous sweeping move-
ment.
Vehicles with automatic wiper
function
With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed:
– E: minimum sensitivity
– F: maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during
snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-
cally triggered and remains under
the driver’s control.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.
With the ignition on, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.
Depending on the vehicle, the wipers
may stop for a few seconds between
wipes. It is possible to change the
time between sweeps by turning
ring 2.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

ing the windscreen, etc.)
return stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 to-
wards you.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.

windscreen washer, continuous sweep-
ing until the end of the request, then
three return sweeps, then after a few
seconds, a fourth.

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure
they are not stuck to the windscreen
(including the central area located
behind the interior rear-view mirror)
and the rear screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor overheat-
ing).
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position A (park).
Risk of injury.
Do not try to lift the wiper blades.
They cannot remain detached from
the windscreen. To replace the
blades, refer to Section 5: “Wiper
blades”.
