lighting, such as pedestrians.

behind a safety barrier on the motorway).

slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.

by lighting the ground near the front doors.
When the front courtesy lamp switch is in
this position, the spotlamps come on
automatically:
Welcome lighting
When the vehicle is unlocked in low light
conditions and the "Automatic illumination of
headlamps" function is activated, this system
automatically switches on:
– when the vehicle is unlocked.
– when a door is opened.
Maintenance
– when a request to locate the vehicle is
received from the remote control.
Whatever the position of the front courtesy lamp
switch, they also come on with the welcome
lighting and guide-me-home lighting functions.
They go off automatically after 30 seconds.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
