Lighting and visibility
4Exterior lighting
When the ignition is switched on, all the lights
come on (sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps
and number plate lamps).
When the ignition is switched off, all the lights
go out.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED lamps/headlamps: risk of serious
eye injury!
Direction indicators



► Left or right: lower or raise the multifunction
control stalk beyond the point of resistance.
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards (without
going beyond the point of resistance) and the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Wipers/Screenwash
Wipers



► Turn the knob to the desired position:Continuous wipe
Intermittent wipe
Switching off
Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen, and from around the
wiper arms and blades.
Never operate the wipers when the
windscreen is dry. Before operating the
wipers when the weather is extremely cold or
hot, check that the wiper blades are not stuck
to the windscreen.
Screenwash

► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash operates as long as you hold
the multifunction control stalk, followed by a
cycle of 5 wipes when you release the stalk.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. In winter, use "very
cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
To ensure flat-bladed wipers remain effective:
–
Handle them with care.
– Clean them regularly using soapy water.
– Do not use them to hold a piece of
cardboard against the windscreen.

Lighting and visibility
– Replace them at the first signs of wear.
