LED lamps
This daytime lighting, a signature of the vehicle, comprises two sets of light-emitting diodes (LEDs),located in ver tical cutouts below each headlamp.

On star ting the vehicle, in daylight the LED
lamps come on automatically, if the lighting
stalk is in position "0"or "AUTO".

users, the height of the headlamps should be
adjusted in relation to the load in the vehicle.
0.Driver only or driver + front passenger. - . Intermediate setting
1. 5 people. -. 5 people + load in the boot.2.Driver only + maximum authorised load in
the boot.
This position is sufficient to avoid causing dazzle. Higher settings may limit the spread of lightfrom the headlamps.

The initial setting is position "0"
.
Programming
In countries where it is a legalrequirement:- this function is activated by default and cannot be deactivated,- in daylight, the sidelamps and number plate lamps also come on, - If the sidelamps or headlampsare switched on manually or automatically, the LED lamps switch off.For versions not fitted with LED lamps, it is the dipped beam headlamps thatcome on automatically on star ting the vehicle.
