automatically after a period of time.
Welcome lighting
When the vehicle is unlocked in low light
conditions and the "Automatic illumination of
headlamps" function is activated, this system
automatically switches on:
–

O
n the outside, sidelamps, dipped beam
headlamps and door mirror spotlamps.
–

Inside
, courtesy lamps and footwell lighting.
You can activate/deactivate and adjust
the duration of the welcome lighting in the
Settings > Vehicle touch screen application.
Door mirror spotlamps
These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle
by lighting the ground near the front doors.
The spotlamps come on automatically:
–

when the v
ehicle is unlocked.
–

when a door is opened.
–


when a reque
st to locate the vehicle is received
from the remote control.
They also come on with the welcome lighting and
guide-me-home lighting functions.
They go off automatically after 30 seconds.
Automatic lighting
systems - General
recommendations
The automatic lighting systems use a detection
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
–

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

If the windscreen is dirty
, misted-up or
masked (e.g. sticker) in front of the camera.
–

If the v
ehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
The system is not able to detect:
– R oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–

V
ehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).
–

V
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Maintenance
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 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,

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.

69
Lighting and visibility04
"High beam" mode

At any time, this lighting mode can be triggered
by the Automatic headlamp dipping function
independent of the Adaptive Frontlight System
function.
This mode automatically adapts to the speed and
angle of the steering wheel.
The power and range of the lighting is maximised
to best illuminate the length and width of the
roadway.
Dynamic cornering lighting function

Available only with the "City" mode and "Road"
mode.
The headlamps follow the trajectory of the vehicle
in bends to provide better lighting of the road.
This is done by shifting the intensities of the light
area in the bends, to better anticipate obstacles
and changes in road direction.
This function operates from a certain angle of
rotation of the steering wheel and a certain yaw
speed.
DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0
For more information, refer to the General
recommendations for automatic lighting
systems.
The DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0 system has the
Adaptive Frontlight System function and also
manages the high beam in conjunction with the
Automatic headlamp dipping function.
The DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0 headlamps
incorporate three LED modules:
–

a "Pix
el" module that varies the number of
LEDs lit and their intensity according to driving
conditions. This module manages the light flows
vertically and horizontally.
–

tw

o "Low beam" modules whose intensity only
varies with the fog mode.
All these LED modules contribute to the lighting in
the low beam and high beam positions.
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 in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
Activation/Deactivation
►  Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in
the “AUTO” position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes to
"Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightness, 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.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.
If the system is selected but the display on
the instrument panel and the alerts are not
available, the indicator lamp comes on in grey.

Activation/Deactivation
It is configured in the ADAS touch screen
application.
Operation
If the function is selected but the display
on the instrument panel and the alerts are
not available (in "Night Vision"mode), the
indicator lamp comes on in grey.
If all operating conditions are met, the
indicator lamp comes on in green: the
display on the instrument panel (with "Night
Vision" mode selected) and the triggering of
alerts are available.
If certain operating conditions (speed or
temperature) are not met, the indicator
lamp comes on in orange: only the display on the
instrument panel is available (in "Night Vision"
mode). Whilst the exterior light is too bright or the dipped
beam headlamps have not been switched on, the
alerts are not available.




The camera detection range is between 15 m (for
pedestrians) and 200 m, depending on visibility
conditions.
The image provided by the camera is displayed
in shades of grey in the instrument panel; warm
objects appear brighter than cold objects. If pedestrians or animals are detected, they
appear in yellow frames.
If the system detects a risk of
collision with pedestrians or
animals, it triggers an alert: a symbol appears in
the middle of the display window. The silhouette
of pedestrians or animals is framed in red.
If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a
temporary window.
In the event of an alert, the driver may act by
making an avoiding manoeuvre or by braking.
Operating limits
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it from
working:
–

Poor visibility c
onditions (falling snow, heavy
rain, thick fog).
–

Camera mask
ed by snow, mud or dust.
–

Camera scra

97Driving06
► Do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, contact
a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 10%
per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower air
density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle
and the nose weight (at the point where it joins
your vehicle) approaches the maximum permitted
without exceeding it.
Tyres
►  Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle
and of the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
►  Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine towing device is used, the
rear parking sensors will be deactivated
automatically to avoid the audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►  Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
►  Pay constant attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be
recognised by the vehicle before starting is
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a dealer.
Starting/switching off the
engine
The electronic key must be present in the
passenger compartment.
If the electronic key is not detected, a message
is displayed.

178
In the event of a breakdown08
Do not exceed the maximum authorised speed
of 50 mph (80 km/h) or the maximum distance
of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one "space-saver" type
spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's
bolts and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
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!


The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
–

Do not clean them with a dry or abrasiv
e
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent products.
–

U

se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–

When using a high-pre
ssure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet (UV)
type bulbs, so as not to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
After changing a bulb
To refit, carry out the operations in
reverse order to removal.
Close the protective cover very carefully to
guarantee the sealing of the lamps.
