LED lamps
Daytime external lighting using specific front lamps providing a signature of the vehicle. Comprising
two sets of six light emitting diodes (LEDs), they are located in the ver tical scoops below each
headlamp.

On starting the vehicle, in daylight the LED
lamps come on automatically, if the lighting
stalk is in position "0"
or "AU TO "

If the sidelamps and headlamps are switched
on manually or automatically, the LED lamps
switch off. For countries where exterior lighting by day is
not a legal requirement, you can activate or
deactivate the function via the multifunction
screen configuration menu.

203Practical information











Changing a bulb

The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:


)
do not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,


)
use a sponge and soapy water,

)
when using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not direct
at the lamps or their outlines for
too long, so as not to damage their
protective coating and seals.


)
Do not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use lint-free cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for a few minutes (risk of serious
burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order not
to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.
