The connection of an electrical device not
approved by the Manufacturer, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
USB sockets
These symbols determine the type of use of a USB
socket:
Power supply and recharging.
Likewise, plus use of smartphone
applications with the touch screen.




USB sockets allow the connection of a portable
device.
The USB socket also allows a
smartphone to be connected by
Android Auto
® or CarPlay®, enabling certain
smartphone applications to be used on the touch
screen.
For best results, use a cable made or approved by
the device manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering-mounted controls or the audio system
controls.

57
Ease of use and comfort03
When the USB socket is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed if the
power drawn by the portable device exceeds
the current supplied by the vehicle.
For more information about how to use this
equipment, refer to the sections describing the
audio and telematics systems.
Storage compartment

►  To open the storage compartment, press the

Wireless smartphone charger



This system allows wireless charging of a
portable device such as a smartphone, using the
magnetic induction principle, in accordance with
the Qi 1.1 standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
A mat can also be used provided that it is
approved by the Manufacturer.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With the Keyless Entry and Start system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted when
a door is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging
►  With the charging area clear, place a device in
its centre.


When the portable device is detected, the
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge
multiple devices simultaneously.
Do not leave metal objects (e.g. coins,
keys, vehicle remote control) in the
charging area while a device is being charged
- Risk of overheating or interrupting the
charging!
When using applications for a long time in
combination with wireless charging, some
smartphones may switch to thermal safety
and cause some functions to stop.
Checking operation
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.

Main lighting



Automatic illumination of lamps/daytime
running lamps
Sidelamps only
Dipped or main beam headlamps
Remote rear lamps
When the vehicle's lamps are on,
opening the tailgate automatically switches
illumination from the brake lamps, sidelamps
and direction indicator lamps to the lamps
located in the rear bumper, to maintain the
safety of the vehicle.
Headlamp dipping

►  Pull the lighting control stalk to switch
between dipped and main beam headlamps.
In "AUTO" and sidelamps mode, pull the lighting
control stalk to switch the main beam headlamps
on directly ("headlamp flash").
Display
Illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp on the instrument panel confirms that the
selected lighting 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 foglamps
They only work if the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on.


►  Rotate the ring forwards/backwards to turn
them on/off.
When the lighting is switched off automatically
("AUTO" position) the foglamps and the dipped
beam headlamps remain on.
When the rear foglamps are activated, the "fog"
mode of the Adaptive Frontlight System function
can be activated at the front.
For more information on the Adaptive Frontlight
System, refer to the corresponding section.
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 lighting when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for the
dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.

64
Lighting and visibility04
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 level of charge in the
battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam of
LED technology lamps - risk of serious eye
injury!


Travelling abroad
The design of the dipped beam headlamps
allows you to drive, without any modification,
in a country that drives on the other side of
the road to the country in which your vehicle
was sold.
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
These LED lamps at the front and rear of the
vehicle light up automatically when the engine
starts.
They perform the following functions:
–

Da
ytime running lamps (lighting control stalk at
position "AUTO" with adequate ambient light).
–

Sidelamp
s (lighting control stalk at position
"AUTO" with low ambient light or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
Direction indicators

►  Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you keep the direction indicators on 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
(Depending on version)
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps on
the traffic side only.
►  Within one minute after switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
upwards or downwards, depending on the side of
the traffic (e.g. when parking on the right, push
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the
left).
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.
