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

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

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").

sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come
on and this warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and/or the display of a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may
become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

obstruct the camera.
Automatic headlamp
dipping
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations for automatic lighting
systems.
With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the
"AUTO" position and the function activated on the
touch screen, this system automatically switches
between dipped and main beam headlamps,

67
Lighting and visibility04
according to lighting and traffic conditions, using
a camera located at the top of the windscreen.


This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
Activation/Deactivation
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
Operation
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headlamp s come
on automatically. These indicator
lamps light up on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam headlamp s
remain lit. These indicator lamps
light up on the instrument panel.
The function is deactivated if the foglamps are
switched on or if the system detects poor visibility
conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain, snowfall).
When the foglamps are switched off or when the
visibility conditions become favourable again, the
function is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the
function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►  Switch the headlamps manually between
dipped and main beam to pause 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 function, once again switch
the headlamps manually between dipped and
main beam.
Malfunction
If a malfunction occurs with the system or
the camera, this warning lamp lights up on
the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message.
Have it checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Adaptive Frontlight
System
Available only on versions equipped with DS PIXEL
LED VISION 3.0 headlamps.
This function has several lighting modes, specific
to each driving situation.
The intensity and direction of the main headlamps
and the modules vary so as to increase or reduce
the range of the lighting.
The modules tilt so as to expand and direct the
light beam to increase or decrease the lighting up
of the sides of the road.
The function shifts the light beam to the sides
of the headlamp to ensure better illumination in
curves.
This function is a driving aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the

68
Lighting and visibility04
need for vigilance on the part of the driver who
must continually adapt the driving of the
vehicle to the visibility and traffic conditions.
Activation/Deactivation
► Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in
the “AUTO” position.
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
Operation
"City" mode

The width of the beam is increased to better
distinguish hazards on the side of the road
(pedestrians, intersections).
By default, the function starts in "Road" mode.
After a few seconds, the function switches to
"City" mode as long as the speed is below 19 mph
(30 km/h).
This mode is deactivated after a few seconds
above 31 mph (50 km/h).
"Road" mode

This lighting provides a higher light beam, an
increased intensity of the headlamps and a
decreased intensity of the modules.
This mode is active as long as the rear foglamps
are switched off and/or the front wipers are
activated for less than 2 minutes.
Between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 43 mph
(70 km/h), with the rear foglamps off and if the
front wipers activated for more than 2 minutes
continuously, the function switches to "Rain"
mode.
"Rain" mode

The beam is widened. The power of the modules
is increased to enable the driver to see the road markings more easily, whilst the intensity of the
main headlamps is reduced so as to improve the
driver’s vision (taking reflections caused by a wet
road into account).
Between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 43 mph
(70 km/h), with the rear foglamps off, front
wipers activated for many minutes continuously,
the function switches to "Road" mode.
"Fog" mode

This mode is activated if the vehicle is moving at
a speed between 0 and 43 mph (70 km/h) and the
rear foglamps are on.
Beyond 43 mph (70 km/h), the function switches
to "High beam" mode even if the rear foglamps
are activated.
