Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for the
dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you should
switch on the foglamps and dipped
beam headlamps manually, as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to switch off the front and
rear foglamps when they are no longer
necessary.
Switching on the lighting when
switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the
ring A to position "0"
- lighting off, then to the
position of your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manually after
switching off the ignition, there is an audible
signal when a front door is opened to warn the
driver that they have forgotten to switch off the
vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a period
which depends on the state of charge of the
battery (entry to energy economy mode).
