Lighting and visibility
This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
– The dipped beam headlamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
light up on the instrument panel.
– If the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
– If the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
– Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
– Vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example, vehicles driving behind a safety
barrier on a motorway).

The function is deactivated if the foglamps
are switched on or if the system detects poor
visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain,
snowfall).
When the foglamps are switched off or when the
visibility conditions become favourable again, the
function is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the
function is deactivated.
The system becomes operational when
the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
Pause
– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
The settings are changed via the
Driving/Vehicle touch screen
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the
function and the lighting system switches
to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:
– If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.
menu.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes
to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
Operation
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headlamps
come on automatically. These
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– If the "AUTO" and "Main beam"
indicator lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
► To reactivate the function, once again switch
the headlamps manually between dipped and
main beam.
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
– When visibility conditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
