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
operation of the “automatic main
beam headlights” system (risk of re-
flection on the windscreen).

ghting;
– incorrect settings for the front headlights;

vide light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights switched
off and the ring 4 in position 0 or
AUTO, pull the stalk 1 towards you:
the dipped beam headlights come on
for approximately 30 seconds. To in-
crease this duration, you may pull the

fRear fog lights
Turn centre ring 5 on the stalk
until the symbol faces mark 3, then re-
lease it.
Operation of the fog lights depends on
the exterior lighting selected, and an in-
dicator light will light up on the instru-
ment panel.
Do not forget to switch off the fog lights
when they are no longer needed, to
avoid inconveniencing other road
users.
Switching off the lights
Turn the ring 5 again until the mark 3
is opposite the symbol for the fog light
that you wish to switch off. The corres-
ponding indicator light on the instru-
ment panel goes out.
The fog lights switch off when the exte-
rior lights are switched off.
Cornering lights
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.
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).

Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the ve-
hicle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.Vehicle fitted with intermittent
windscreen wipers
A single sweep
A short push will trigger one sweep
of the wipers.

The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. It is
possible to change the time be-
tween sweeps by turning ring 2.

FRONT WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (1/6)
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.

FRONT WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (2/6)
C automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning
ring 2:
– F : minimum sensitivity
– G : maximum sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the quic-
ker the wipers will react and the
faster the wipe. When activating automatic wiping or
when increasing sensitivity, one sweep
of the blades is performed.
Note:
–
the rain sensor is only intended as a
driving aid. In the event of reduced
visibility, the driver should manually
activate the wipers. In foggy weather
or during snowfalls, wiping is not au-
tomatically triggered and remains
under the driver’s control;
– in the event of temperatures below
zero, automatic wiping is not acti-
vated when the vehicle is started. It
is automatically activated as soon as
the vehicle exceeds a certain speed
(approximately 5 mph (8 km/h));
– do not activate automatic wiping in
dry weather;
– fully de-ice the windscreen before
activating automatic wiping.

Positions A and D are accessible

engine running.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
automatic wiping, the wiper is set to
intermittent wiping. Contact an au-
thorised dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor can
be disturbed in the event of:
– damaged wiper blades; a screen
of water or traces left by a blade in
the sensor’s detection zone may
increase the response time of the
automatic wiper, or increase the
wiping frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or
crack level with the sensor, or a
windscreen covered in dust, dirt,
insects, ice, the use of washing
wax and water-repellent chemi-
cals; the automatic wiping will
be less sensitive, or even unres-
ponsive.
FRONT WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (3/6)
Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the vehi-
cle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.
Precautions
– In the event of ice, check whether the
blades are stuck to the windscreen
before operating the wiping mecha-
nism. If you activate the wipers while
the blades are stuck down with ice,
you may risk damaging both the
blade and the wiper motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the prema-
ture wear or damage to the blades.

Before any action involving
the windscreen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen,
etc.) return stalk 1 to position B
(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
In the event of obstacles present
on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,
etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-
ding the central area located behind
the interior rear-view mirror) and
the rear screen before starting the
wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
FRONT WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (4/6)
Note:
Once the wipers have been switched
off, at least 1 minute after locking the
vehicle, it is possible to manually move
the blades. Do not force the blade arms
to move. This may risk damage to the
wiper motor, the arms and the blades.
After your intervention, to reposition the
blades correctly, make sure the blades
are resting on the windscreen, switch
on the ignition and activate the wiper
control.
The blade on the driver’s side must
always be above the passenger blade.
If this is not the case, a quick sweep of
the windscreen wipers should be per-
formed once the vehicle is travelling at
over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
It may be useful to:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds- creen in winter;
– to replace the blades (please refer to the information on the “Wiper
blades” in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lower the windscreen wiper stalk fully
(fast continuous wipe position). The
wiper arms stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make
sure they have been placed on the
windscreen, then move the stalk to po-
sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.
