range are displayed continuously when the
vehicle is started.
With the ignition off, opening the driver's
door activates the indicator.
Associated warning lamps
Two successive alert levels indicate that the
energy available has dropped to a low level:
1st level: Reserve
The state of charge of the traction battery
is low.
Fixed, accompanied by an audible signal.
►  View the remaining range on the instrument
panel.
►  Put the vehicle on charge as soon as possible.
2nd level: Critical
The state of charge of the traction battery
is critical.
Fixed, together with the reserve warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal.
►  You must put the vehicle on charge.
The remaining range is no longer
calculated. The drive train power
gradually decreases.
The heating and air conditioning are switched
off (even if the cursor indicating their
consumption is not at the ECO position).
Thermal comfort consumption
indicator (Electric)


The gauge shows the consumption of electric
power for thermal comfort functions.
It concerns the following equipment and systems:
– Heating.
–

Air c
onditioning.
–

F
ront demisting/defrosting.
–

R
ear screen demisting/defrosting.
–

Hea
ted seats.
The traction battery powers the heating and air
conditioning systems.
This equipment and these functions can be used:
–

If the v
ehicle is not plugged in, when the READY
lamp is lit.
–

If the v
ehicle is plugged in, when the ignition is
switched on.
Selecting Eco mode limits the performance of
some equipment. The cursor on the thermal
comfort consumption indicator then moves into
the "ECO" zone.
To quickly heat or cool the passenger
compartment, feel free to temporarily
select the maximum heating or cooling setting.
Excessive use of thermal comfort equipment,
particularly at low speed, can significantly
decrease the vehicle's range.
Remember to optimise equipment settings
upon achieving the desired level of comfort,
and adjust them if necessary whenever you
start the vehicle.
After an extended period without using the
heating, you may notice a slight odour during
the first few minutes of use.

Automatic illumination of headlamps/
daytime running lamps.
Sidelamps only.
Dipped or main beam headlamps.
"Highway function"
On versions fitted with "Full LED"
technology headlamps, the range of the dipped
beam headlamps is automatically increased
once the speed of the vehicle is above 68 mph
(110 km/h).
Headlamp dipping

►  Pull the stalk to switch between dipped and
main beam headlamps.
In “AUTO” and sidelamps modes, the driver can
switch on the main beam headlamps temporarily
(“headlamp flash”) by pulling the stalk.
Displays
Illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp
in the instrument panel confirms that the lighting
selected is on.
A fault with a lamp is signalled by the
permanent illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
Rear foglamp
It only works if the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on.


►  Rotate the ring forwards to switch it on and
backwards to switch it off.
When the lamps are switched off automatically
("AUTO" position), the foglamp and the dipped
beam headlamps will remain on.
Switching on the foglamps is prohibited in
clear weather or in rain, both day and
night. In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers. They must
only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may
vary depending on country).
Do not forget to switch off the foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after switching
off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "AUTO" position, then to the desired
position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the state of charge of
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
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.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of “Full LED” headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury.
Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with halogen
headlamps:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamp dipped beams must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Daytime running lamps/
sidelamps
The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.

The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
– Da ytime running lamps (lighting control stalk at
position "AUTO" with adequate light level).
–

Sidelamp
s (lighting control stalk "AUTO"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps only”
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as
daytime running lamps.
Direction indicators

►  Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if the
speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes
►  Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the direction
indicators will flash 3 times.
Parking lamps
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps on
the traffic side only.
►  Depending on version, within one minute
of switching off the ignition, move the lighting
control stalk up or down, depending which side
the traffic is on (for example, when parking on the
left, moving the lighting control stalk upwards
turns on the right-hand sidelamps).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
►  To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When the ring is at the “AUTO" position and
a low level of ambient light is detected by the
rain/sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.

58Lighting and visibility04
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the function:
•

If the "
AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.
•

If the "
AUTO" and "Main beam"
indicator lamps were on, the system changes
to dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
–

When visibility c
onditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
–

If the windscreen in fron
t of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
–

If the v
ehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–

R

oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–

V

ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example, vehicles driving behind a safety
barrier on a motorway).
–

V

ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
DS MATRIX LED VISION
Available only on versions equipped with Full LED
headlamps with the Matrix Beam function.
This system automatically adapts the main
beam according to the driving conditions, so that
optimum illumination is maintained for the driver,
without causing a nuisance to other road users.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic, and for observation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
The system is active from 25 mph
(40 km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph
(20 km/h).
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightess, lights from oncoming or
followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the
beams of the main headlamps accordingly.
The modules that make up the main beams
switch on and off gradually, segment by segment,
depending on the driving conditions detected:
Followed vehicle


When approaching a vehicle from behind, only
those lamp segments directed at the followed
vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as
not to dazzle its driver.
Oncoming vehicle


When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
those lamp segments directed at this vehicle
go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the
duration of the approach.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (for
example, a town), the lamp segments are
gradually switched off from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle to switch to the dipped
beams.
Exiting an illuminated area
The lamp segments gradually light up from the
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the
main beams.
Activation/Deactivation
►  Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the
"AUTO" position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
The function can be activated and
deactivated in the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes to
"automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
The status of the system remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
