Lighting controls
System for selection and control of the various front and rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting and signalling.


Main lighting

The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to provide the best visibility for the
driver and to signal the presence of the vehicle
to other road users:


- sidelamps, to be seen,

- dipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear,

- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to fulfil the
requirements of par ticular driving conditions:


- rear foglamps to better signal the presence
of the vehicle in foggy conditions,

- front foglamps for better visibility in foggy
conditions and to improve lighting at
intersections and when parking,

- daytime running lamps to be seen during
the day.



Automatic lighting
functions
Various automatic lighting functions are also
available depending on options:


- guide-me-home lighting,

sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.

foglamps and the rear foglamps when
they are no longer needed.

Lighting left on audible
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.
