Automatic main beam
headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system
switches the main beam headlights on
and off automatically. The function uses
a camera located behind the interior
rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that
are following and coming in the oppo-
site direction.
The main beam headlights come on au-
tomatically if:
– exterior light is weak;
– no other vehicles or lighting are de-tected;
– the vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 30 mph (45 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not
fulfilled, the system switches to dipped
beam headlights.
The “automatic main beam
headlights” system should
under no circumstances be
used to replace driver atten-
tion and responsibility with regard
to vehicle lighting and adapting to
light, visibility and traffic conditions.Using the portable naviga-
tion system at night in the
windscreen area below the
camera may disturb the op-
eration of the “automatic main beam
headlights” system (risk of reflection
on the windscreen).

means that the clutch pedal is not
sufficiently released;
– and the vehicle speed is less than approximately 1.86 mph (3 km/h).
STOP AND START FUNCTION (1/4)
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automati-
cally when the vehicle is started. While
driving, the system stops the engine
(standby) when the vehicle is at a
standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights, etc).
Conditions for engine
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For automatic gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in position D, M or N;
– and the brake pedal is pressed (suf-ficiently hard);
– and the accelerator pedal is not pressed;
– and the speed is zero for around 1 second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released.
If the engine is put in
standby, the electronic
parking brake (depending
on the vehicle) is not ap-
plied automatically.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
 on the
instrument panel).
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch
off the ignition (please see
section on “Starting, stop-
ping the engine”).
Engine on standby - power-
assisted steering is no
longer operational.
For all vehicles:
The warning light
 on the instru-
ment panel is lit when the engine is on
standby. The vehicle equipment re-
mains operational while the engine is
stopped.
Depending on the vehicle, when the
engine switches to standby, the steer-
ing assistance may no longer be opera-
tional.
In this case it becomes operational
again when the engine is no longer on
standby or the speed exceeds approxi-
mately 0.62 mph (1 km/h) (downhill,
slope, etc.).
