signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode. In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal. With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain countries, which comes on automatically when the engine is star ted making the vehicle more visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps
This function is assured: - in countries where it is imposed by regulations, by illumination of the dipped beam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps. - for other countries where it is provided, by the use of dedicated lamps.
This function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switch off the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.
