VISIBILITY
LIGHTING CONTROLS
System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt the
driver's visibility progressively accord-
ing to climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
O t h e r l a m p s a r e i n s t a l l e d t o f u l fi l t h e
requirements of particular conditions of
visibility:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from afar,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control modes
are also available according to the fol-
lowing options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic illumination of headlamps. Model without AUTO lighting
Model with AUTO lighting
Lamps off.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps.
Sidelamps only.
Dipped or main beam
headlamps.
B. Stalk for switching the headlamp
beam: pull the stalk to switch between
dipped and main beam headlamps.
In the lamps off and sidelamps modes,
the driver can switch on the main beam
headlamps temporarily ("headlamp

- sport programme for a more dy-
namic style of driving,
- snow programme to improve dri-
ving when traction is poor,
- manual operation for sequential
changing of the gears by the driver.
