Rearview Mirrors External Mirrors External mirrors can be adjusted
electrically and are equipped with
anti-mist resistors operated by the air
conditioning system (see “Air
Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The mirrors can be closed electrically
and will yield in both directions in case
of a collision.
The external mirrors are
electrochromic, which means, they
automatically operate an anti-glare
function by gradually shading as the
light hitting the mirrors increases.
The external rear-view electrochromic
mirrors work in conjunction with the
internal rear-view electrochromic
mirror.
NOTE:
• The mirrors can be adjusted
electrically only with the ignition
device in ACC and RUN position.
• When the vehicle is started, the
indicator light shown in the picture
will momentarily illuminate in both
outside rear-view mirrors to let the
driver know that the BSA system is operational. For more details see
chapter “Blind Spot Assist” in section
“Driving”.
The external of the rear-view mirror
support is equipped with LEDs,
lighting up when the turn signals and
vehicle entry/exit lights are activated.
When the surround view camera
system is installed, at the external
bottom side of the rear-view mirror is
the side view camera (refer to
“Surround View Camera System
(optional)” in section “Before

passenger side convex mirror could
cause you to collide with another
vehicle or object. Use the inside mirror
to judge the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the external side
convex mirror.
Tilt Side Mirrors In Reverse
This
feature provides automatic
external rearview mirrors positioning,
allowing the driver to view the ground
area behind the front doors. The
external mirrors will move slightly
downward from the current position
when the shift lever is shifted into
reverse. The external mirrors will then
return to the original position when the lever is shifted out of the reverse
position. Each memory set of the
driver's seat (see "Driver Memory
Seat" chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”)
corresponds to a mirror tilt position in
reverse.
NOTE:
The mirrors tilt in reverse can be

Automatic Headlights This system automatically turns the
headlights on or off according to
ambient light intensity detected by the
twilight sensor positioned on the inner
surface of the windshield, over the
rear view mirror. To turn the system
on, rotate the lights switch clockwise
to “AUTO” position.
When the automatic system is
activated, the headlight time delay
feature is activated as well. This means
the headlights will stay on for up to 90
seconds after you place the ignition
device into OFF position.
To turn the automatic system off,
move the lights switch out of “AUTO”
position.
NOTE:
The engine must be running before
the headlights turn on in automatic
mode.
WARNING!
The responsibility for turning on the
lights, depending on the daylight and
regulations in force in the country of
use, always lies with the driver. The
automatic system for switching on
and off the external lights is to be considered as an aid for the driver. If
necessary, switch the lights including
the rear fog lights on and off
manually.
Headlights On with Wipers
When
this feature
is active, the
headlights will turn on approximately
10 seconds after activation of the
wipers, if the lights switch is placed in
the “AUTO” position. The headlights
will additionally turn off by
deactivation of the wipers if previously
activated with this function.
NOTE:
The Headlights with wipers feature
may be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, refer to “MTC+
Settings” in section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls”.
Headlights Time Delay This safety feature provides headlight
illumination for up to 90 seconds
(programmable) when leaving your
vehicle in an unlit area. To activate the
delay feature, place the ignition switch
in the OFF or ACC position while the
headlights are still on. Then turn off
the headlights within 45 seconds. The delay interval begins when the
lights switch is turned off (position
“0”). If you turn the headlights or
position lights on, or place the ignition
switch in RUN , the system will cancel
the delay.
If you turn the headlights off (“0”
position) before the ignition, they will
turn off in the normal mode.
NOTE:
• To activate this feature the lights
must be turned off (“0” position)
within 45 seconds of placing the
ignition switch in the OFF or ACC
position.
• Once the delay feature is active, any
additional shifting of the light switch
will cancel the feature.
• The headlight delay time is
programmable using the MTC+
System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
• If the low beam LEDs are active due
to “Headlights with Wipers”, then
the headlamps delay feature will not
be activated when the ignition
switch is set in OFF position.Understanding the Vehicle

Daytime Running Lights (DRL) The lighting system uses the same
high or low intensity headlamps LED,
respectively, for the DRL lights and
front position lights.
DRL lights will turn on when the
twilight sensor is in “DAY” mode, the
engine is running and the light switch
is in
or “AUTO” position.
If a turn signal is activated, the DRL
LED on the same side of the vehicle
switches in position light function for
the duration of the turn signal
activation. Once the turn signal is
deactivated, the DRL LED will light up
again.
NOTE:
On Canadian vehicles DRL are always
on. On USA vehicles, the DRL lights
can be turned on and off using the
MTC+ System, see “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls” for further information.
“Full-LED” Headlight with
Cornering Function These headlamps combine the
cornering function to the “Full-LED”
technology consisting of an additional
LED module which turns on when two
conditions occurs: the driver turns the steering wheel or the driver activates
the turn indicator. The cornering
function will illuminate the corner to
enhance the visibility to the driver as
long as speed will be lower than 25
mph (40 km/h).
“Full-LED” Technology
This technology creates headlights
with a simpler construction and a
more compact size compared to those
equipped with traditional or Xenon
light bulbs.
Other advantages are:
• a clearer light beam, with a cool
white tone that allows a better
perception of the contrasts thus
making the night vision more
efficient and less tiring;
• a longer duration equivalent at least
to that of the vehicle;
• a reduced current consumption. These features positively affect some
vehicle management economy aspects
by eliminating/reducing the light bulb
replacements and help limit fuel
consumption.
Automatic High Beam (for
versions/markets, where
provided) The Automatic High Beam headlight
control system provides increased
forward lighting at night by
automating high beam control
through the use of the forward-facing
digital camera located behind the
rear-view mirror, which is the same
one used for example by the Lane
Keeping Assist - LKA system on
vehicles with ADAS systems.
This camera detects the environmental
luminosity, the headlamps of
oncoming vehicles and the tail lamps
of proceding vehicles in the front
area. In these cases, the system
automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the
approaching vehicle is out of view.
Furthermore, the digital camera is
able to detect the urban areas and the
inhabited centers and to turn off the
high beams when driving near of one
of them.Understanding the Vehicle

The rear fog lights will NOT activate
automatically when turning on the
low beam
or “AUTO” headlights
if previously deactivated by turning
the lights switch off. The rear fog
lights will only turn on by operating
the switch as previously described.
Multifunction Lever The multifunction lever controls the
operation of the turn signals,
headlight beam selection, overtaking
lights and windshield wiper and
