Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode. In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal. With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
The daytime running lamps can be activated and deactivated via the configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switch off the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.
Daytime running lamps
(LEDs)
They come on when the engine is started. Depending on the country of sale or where required by regulations, they are used for: - daytime running lamps in day mode and sidelamps in night mode (they are brighter when daytime running lamps), or - sidelamps in day and night mode.

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, when a low level of external light is detected or in certain cases of activation of the windscreen wipers. As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

Operation
Once activated, the system operates as follows: - if there is adequate light and/or if the traffic conditions do not allow the use of main beam, then dipped beam is maintained, - if the light level is low and the traffic
conditions allow, main beam comes on automatically. The system will be operational as soon as you have exceeded 15 mph (25 km/h). If the speed drops below 9 mph (15 km/h), the system no longer operates.
If the situation requires a change of headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any time.

Parking lamps
