Operation
Once the function is activated, the system
operates as follows:
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or if
the traffic conditions do not allow illumination
of the main beam headlamps:Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
F
Flash the headlamps (going beyond the
point of resistance) to activate the function. If the situation requires a change of
headlamp beam, the driver can take over at
any time.
F
Flashing the headlamps again pauses
the function and the system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps"
mode.
The function is deactivated automatically
below 9 mph (15 km/h).
If main beam is still needed, flash the
headlamps again; main beam will then
remain on until the vehicle reaches a speed
of 25 mph (40 km/h).
Above 25 mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that the
headlamps have not been flashed again in
the meantime, to change to dipped beam).
