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 circum\
-
stances be used to replace driver attention and responsibility with rega\
rd
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).
Activation
Turn ring 3 until the AUTO symbol is op-
posite mark 2.
Pull stalk 1 to activate main beam
headlights.
Warning light
 comes on the in-
strument panel.
Deactivation
– pull stalk 1 again;
or
– turn ring 3 to a position other than
AUTO.
Warning light
 goes out on the in-
strument panel. Operating faults
When the message “Check auto light-
ing” appears on the instrument panel,
the system is deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS (2/5)
Turning on the fog lights deactivates
the system and prevents it from
being activated.
The system may encounter difficul-
ties under certain conditions, includ-
ing
:
– extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.);
– obstruction in front of the wind- screen or camera;
– when a following or oncoming ve- hicle has weak or hidden lighting;
– incorrect settings for the front headlights;
– reflecting systems.

Operating faults
Depending on the vehicle, when the
message “Check lighting” appears on
the instrument panel along with the
© warning light, this indicates that
there is a lighting fault.
Consult an approved dealer.
Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:
– manually, move ring 3 to position 0;
– automatically, the lights will go out 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 3.
NB: if the fog lights are on, the lighting
is not switched off automatically.
Daytime running lights
function
Depending on the vehicle, the day-
time running lights come on (only at the
front) without starting the engine. To ac-
tivate or deactivate this function, refer
to the information on the “Vehicle set-
tings customisation menu” in Section 1.
Directional headlights
Depending on the vehicle, with the
dipped beam headlights on and under
certain conditions (speed, steering
wheel angle, forwards gear selected,
etc.) when cornering, the dipped beam
headlights move to light the inside of
the bend.
Special features
– For vehicles fitted with automatic lighting, if the dipped beam head-
lights are manually switched on and
the light is sufficient, the directional
headlights will remain fixed;
– If the lights come on automatically when cornering, the directional
headlights will start working from the
next time the vehicle corners;
– When the dipped beam headlights are switched on with the engine
running and the vehicle stationary,
the lights move to reinitialise them-
selves. If not, there is a system fault.

the vehicle, de-icing, clean-
ing the windscreen, etc.)
return stalk 1 to position A (park).

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 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
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.
YRear screen wiperWith the ignition on, turn ring A
on stalk 1 to align the symbol with

FUEL TANK (1/3)
Useable fuel tank capacity:
60 litres approximately.
With the vehicle unlocked, to open the
compartment B, place your finger into
the recess C.
Valve A is integrated into the filler pipe. For details on filling the fuel tank, refer
to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
To close it, press on the fuel filler flap by
hand, as far as it will go.
Fuel grade
Use a high-grade fuel that complies
with the legislation in force in each
country and which must conform to
the specifications given on the label on
cover B. Please refer to the information
on “Engine specifications” in Section 6.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms with the information given on
the label inside cover B.
Petrol versions
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
to the specifications on the label inside
fuel filler flap B. Refer to the information

Vehicles running on ethanol-
based fuel
It is essential to use unleaded petrol or
fuel containing a maximum of 85% eth-
anol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine. To avoid this problem, use un-
leaded petrol or, on equipped vehicles,
use the heater integrated in the engine:
connect the special end of the exten-
sion piece supplied into the socket in-
tegrated into the radiator grille and the
other end into a 220V socket for at least
6 hours before starting.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add additive to the fuel –
otherwise you risk damaging the
engine.
