VISIBILITY
  In fog or snow, the sunshine 
sensor may detect suffi cient 
light. Therefore, the lamps will 
not come on automatically. 
  Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, linked with the rain sensor 
and located in the centre of the 
windscreen behind the rear view 
mirror; the associated functions 
would no longer be controlled.  
     
Linked with the Guide-me-home 
lighting 
  Association with the automatic illumina-
tion of headlamps provides the guide-me-
home lighting with the following additional 
options: 
   
 
-   automatic activation of guide-me-
home lighting when automatic illu-
mination of headlamps is switched 
on (in the vehicle parameters of the 
multifunction screen confi guration 
menu), 
   
-  
selection of the duration of maintaining 
of the lighting for 15, 30 or 60 seconds 
in the vehicle parameters of the mul-
tifunction screen confi guration  menu 
(except for  monochrome screen A 
 
where this is preset).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
  A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the 
corresponding paragraph).  
  If the telephone is being used 
at the same time on the MyWay 
audio navigation system, it will 
be interrupted after 10 minutes.  
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE 
 
System which manages the period of 
use of certain functions to conserve a 
suffi cient level of charge in the battery. 
  After the engine has stopped, you can 
still use functions such as the audio 
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped 
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. 
for a maximum combined period of 
thirty minutes. 
  This period may be greatly reduced if 
the battery is not fully charged. 
Exiting economy mode 
  These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is 
driven. 
   
 
 ) 
  In order to resume the use of these 
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.  
  The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left 
running. However, this period will always 
be between fi ve and thirty minutes. 
 
 
Switching to economy mode
 
Once this period has elapsed, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction 
screen indicating that the vehicle has 
switched to economy mode and the 
active functions are put on standby.
