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.

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.

Driving06
The parking sensors supplement the information
in the view from above the vehicle.
Different contextual views are available:
–

Aut
omatic zoom view.
–

St
andard view.
–

Panoramic vie
w.
Depending on the context, the system chooses
the best view to display (standard or automatic
zoom).
The view type can be changed at any time during
the manoeuvre.
The system status is not saved when the ignition
is switched off.
Operating principle

Using the camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during low speed
manoeuvres.
An image from above the vehicle in its close
surroundings is created in real time (on the side of
the screen), as the vehicle progresses.
This view makes it easier to align the vehicle
when parking and to perceive nearby obstacles. It is automatically deleted if the vehicle remains
stationary for too long.
Settings
In the side menu, this menu allows you to
carry out the following operations:
–

adjust the v
olume of the audible signal.
–

adjust the brigh
tness.
–

adjust the c
ontrast.
Activation/Deactivation
To activate the camera, engage reverse gear.
The system is deactivated:
–
when changing out o
f reverse gear.
–

b
y pressing the cross in the top left-hand corner
of the touch screen.
Automatic zoom view

The rear camera records the vehicle's
surroundings during the manoeuvre in order to
create a view from above the rear of the vehicle in
its close surroundings, allowing the vehicle to be
manoeuvred around nearby obstacles.
Using the sensors located on the rear bumper,
the automatic zoom view is displayed when
approaching an obstacle at the red line (less than
30 cm) during the manoeuvre.
This view is only available automatically.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
Standard view

The area behind the vehicle is displayed on the
screen.
The blue lines 1 represent the width of your
vehicle, with the mirrors unfolded; their direction
changes according to the position of the steering
wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm
from the rear bumper; the two blue lines 3 and 4
represent 1 m and 2 m, respectively.
This view is available automatically or by
selection in the side menu.

Automatic zoom view

The front or rear camera records the surroundings
during the manoeuvre to create a front or
rear view from above the vehicle in its close
surroundings, making it possible to manoeuvre
the vehicle around the surrounding obstacles.
Using the sensors located on the front or
rear bumper, the automatic zoom view is
displayed when approaching an obstacle at the
red line (less than 30 cm) during the manoeuvre.
This view is only available automatically.
Depending on version, it can be activated/
deactivated in the ADAS application of the touch
screen.
Obstacles may appear further away than
they actually are.
It is important to monitor the sides of the
vehicle during the manoeuvre, using the
mirrors.
Parking sensors also provide additional
information about the area around the vehicle.
Standard view

Depending on the context, the area behind or in
front of your vehicle is displayed on the screen.
The blue lines (at the rear)/orange lines (at the
front) 1 represent the width of your vehicle, with
the mirrors unfolded; their direction changes
according to the position of the steering wheel.
The red line 2 represents a distance of 30 cm from
the rear or front bumper; the two blue lines (at the rear)/orange lines (at the front) 3 and 4 represent
1 m and 2 m respectively.
This view is available automatically or by
selection in the left-hand side menu.
Panoramic view

The rear or front panoramic view allows you to
leave a parking space by anticipating the arrival
of vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists.
This view is not recommended for carrying out a
complete manoeuvre.
This view is only available by selection in the left-
hand side menu.
