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 driv-
er's visibility progressively according to
the 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
Other lamps are installed to fulfi l the
requirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- rear foglamps,
- front fog lamps with static intersec-
tion lighting,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be more
visible during the day,
- guide-me-home and welcome light-
ing to facilitate access to the vehicle,
- parking lamps as vehicle position
markers.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending on
whether the following options are fi tted:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- welcome lighting,
- daytime running lamps,
- directional lighting,
- automatic illumination of headlamps.

Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off,
all of the lamps switch off immedi-
ately, except for the dipped beam
headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the
internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the
lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Daytime running lamps
Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain
countries, which comes on automati-
cally when the engine is started making
the vehicle more visible to other users.
Manual guide-me-home lighting
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is poor.
Switching on
)
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.
)
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set time.
This function is assured:
- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations,
by illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps; this function
cannot be deactivated.
- for other countries where it is pro-
vided,
by the use of dedicated lamps; this
function can be activated or deac-
tivated via the vehicle confi guration
menu.
The instruments and controls (instru-
ment panel, multifunction screen, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are not
illuminated, except in night mode with
manual or automatic illumination of
headlamps.
Switching on the lighting
when switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the ring A
to position "0"

your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manually
after switching off the ignition, there is
an audible signal when a front door
is opened to warn the driver that they
have forgotten to switch off the vehi-
cle's lighting, with the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state
of charge of the battery (entry to en-
ergy economy mode).

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.

trol stalk up or down depending on
the traffi c side (for example: when
parking on the left; lighting control
stalk upwards; the right hand side-
lamps are on).
