The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:
-
u
nder poor visibility conditions (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
-

i
f the windscreen in front of the camera
is dirty, misted or covered (by a sticker,
e t c .),
-

i
f 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:
-

r
oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-

v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured
(for example, vehicles driving behind a
safety barrier on a motor way),
-

v
ehicles at the top or bottom of a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads.
Headlamp adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
users, the height of the headlamp beams
should be adjusted according to the load in the
vehicle.
0. Driver only or driver + front passenger.
1. Driver + front passenger + rear
passengers + maximum authorised load. The initial setting is position 0.
Cornering lighting
If your vehicle is equipped with it, this system
makes use of the beam from a front foglamp
to illuminate the inside of a bend, when the
main or dipped beam headlamps are on and
the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres, etc.).
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face 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
mask the camera's view.
