Association with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic illumination of headlamps provides "guide-me-home"
lighting with the following additional op-
tions:


- selection of the lighting duration to 15,
30 or 60 seconds in the functions that
can be set in the vehicle confi gura-
tion menu (except in the case of the
monochrome screen A, for which the
duration is set: 60 seconds),

home" lighting when automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps is in operation.


Operating fault In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Therefore, the lighting will not
come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, coupled 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.

In the event of a fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lighting
come on, this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
