site mark  3. This indicator light on the 
instrument panel comes on.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/3)
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
–  manually, move ring 2 to position 0;
–  the lights will go out automatically  when the engine is switched off, the 
driver’s door is opened or the vehicle 
is locked. In this case, the next time 
the engine is started, the lights will 
be switched back on according to the 
position of the ring  2, taking into ac-
count the exterior light level, without 
moving the stalk 1.
Lights-on reminder buzzer
A warning beep sounds when the driv-
er’s door is opened to warn you that the 
lights are still on.
gFront fog lights
Turn the centre ring  4 on the 
stalk  1 until the symbol is opposite 
mark 5, then release it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on 
the exterior lighting position selected, 
and an indicator light will light up on the 
instrument panel.
Cornering lights function
Whenever the dipped beam headlights 
are on and under certain conditions (at 
speed, the steering wheel at an angle, 
in forward gear, the indicator lights on, 
etc.), when taking a corner one of the 
front fog lights will come on to light the 
inside of the bend.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (3/3)
fRear fog light
Turn the centre ring 4 on 
the stalk until the symbol is opposite 
mark 5, then release it.
Depending on the vehicle, the stalk re-
turns to the initial position or stays in 
position.
Operation of the fog lights depends on 
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
To avoid inconveniencing other road 
users, remember to switch off the rear 
fog light when it is no longer needed.
Turning off the fog lights
There are two possibilities:
–  manually, depending on the vehi- cle, turn the ring 4 again to bring the 
mark  5 opposite the symbol for the 
fog light that you want to switch off, 
or bring the ring 4 into position  0. The 
corresponding indicator light will go 
out on the instrument panel;
– the lights will go out automati- cally when the engine is switched 
off or the vehicle is locked, and the 
fog lights when the driver’s door is 
opened.
The front and rear fog lights switch off 
when the exterior lights are switched 
off.
When driving in fog or snow, or 
when transporting objects which are 
higher than the roof, the headlights 
do not come on automatically.
Switching on the fog lights remains 
the responsibility of the driver: the 
indicator lights on the instrument 
panel inform you whether the fog 
lights are lit (indicator light on) or not 
(indicator light not on).

éHazard warning lights 
Press switch 2.
This switch activates all four direction 
indicators and the side indicator lights 
simultaneously. It must only be used in 
an emergency to warn drivers of other 
vehicles that you have had to stop in 
an area where stopping is prohibited or 
unexpected, or that you are obliged to 
drive under special conditions.
Depending on the vehicle, the hazard 
warning lights may come on auto-
matically under heavy deceleration. 
You can switch them off by pressing 
switch 2 once.
Direction indicators
Move stalk 1  parallel to the steering 
wheel and in the direction you are going 
to turn it.
One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the 
steering wheel may not be turned suf-
ficiently to return the stalk automatically 
to its starting position.
In this case, move the stick 1  to half-
way, then release it: it will return to its 
initial position and the indicator light 
flashes three times.

Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows 
down whenever the vehicle stops. For 
example: the speed will change from 
a fast wiping speed to normal wiping 
speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off, 
wiping will return to the speed originally 
selected.
Any action on stalk  1 overrides and 
cancels automatic operation.
Starting the vehicle with the stalk in 
position  D triggers a slow continuous 
sweeping movement. Adjusting the 
stalk to position D is necessary to trig-
ger a rapid continuous sweeping move-
ment. 
Vehicles with automatic wiper 
function
With the engine running,  move stalk 1
–  A park.
–  B automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, 
the system detects water on the 
windscreen and triggers the wipers 
at a suitable wiping speed. It is 
possible to change the triggering 
threshold and the time sweeps by 
turning ring  2:
–  E: minimum sensitivity
–  F: maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during 
snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-
cally triggered and remains under 
the driver’s control.
–  C normal wiping speed.
–  D fast wiping speed.
With the ignition on,  move stalk 1
–  A park.
–  B intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for seve-
ral seconds between sweeps. It 
is possible to change the time 
between sweeps by turning ring  2.
–  C normal wiping speed.
–  D fast wiping speed.

cleaning the windscreen, 
etc.) return stalk  1 to position  A 
(park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on,  pull stalk 1 to-
wards you.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep 
of the wipers, in addition to the winds-
creen washer.
A longer pull triggers, as well as the 
windscreen washer, continuous sweep-
ing until the end of the request, then 
three return sweeps, then after a few 
seconds, a fourth.

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure 
they are not stuck to the windscreen 
(including the central area located 
behind the interior rear-view mirror) 
and the rear screen before starting 
the wipers (risk of motor overhea-
ting).
Check the condition of the wiper 
blades. You are responsible for their 
service life:
–  they must remain clean: clean  the blades, windscreen and 
rear screen regularly with soapy 
water;
–  do not use them when the winds- creen or rear screen are dry;
–  free them from the windscreen or  rear screen when they have not 
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon 
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
When working in the engine 
compartment, ensure that 
the windscreen wiper stalk 
is in position  A (park).
Risk of injury.
Do not try to lift the wiper blades. 
They cannot remain detached from 
the windscreen. To replace the 
blades, refer to Section 5: “Wiper 
blades”.

pRear screen wash/wipeWith ignition on, turn the end 
of the stalk 1 to bring the mark 2 in line 
with the symbol. When the stalk is re-
leased, it returns to the rear windscreen 
wiper position.
A short pull triggers the rear windscreen 
wipers.
A prolonged action triggers, in addition 
to the rear windscreen wipers, a contin-
uous sweep until the stalk is released, 
then two return wipes followed by a 
third, after a few seconds.
Special note
If the windscreen wipers are operat-
ing or are in automatic mode, the rear 
screen wiper wipes intermittently when 
reverse gear is engaged.
Depending on the vehicle, you can 
deactivate this function on the touch 
screen. Please see the equipment in-
structions for further information.

rear screen regularly with soapy 
water;
–  do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
–  free them from the windscreen or  rear screen when they have not 
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
