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

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.
