Lighting and visibility

Manual

– when a request to locate the vehicle is received

from the remote control.

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.

They also come on with the welcome lighting and

guide-me-home lighting functions.

They go off automatically after 30 seconds.

Activation/Deactivation

Automatic headlamp

dipping

When the ring is in the "AUTO” position, this

system automatically switches between dipped

and main beam headlamps according to the

lighting and traffic conditions, using a camera

located at the top of the windscreen.

It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch

screen menu.

The state of the system stays in the memory when

switching off the ignition.

►ꢀ With the ignition off, pull the lighting control

stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to activate/

deactivate the function.

Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off

automatically after a period of time.

Operation

If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the

traffic conditions do not allow the main beam

headlamps to be lit:

Welcome lighting

– The dipped beam headlamps

remain lit. These indicator lamps

come on on the instrument panel.

If the ambient light level is very low and traffic

conditions permit:

– The main beam headlamps come

on automatically. These indicator

lamps come on on the instrument panel.

The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are

switched on or the system detects dense fog.

When the fog lamps are switched off or the

vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function

is automatically reactivated.

When the vehicle is unlocked in low light

conditions and the "Automatic illumination of

headlamps" function is activated, this system

automatically switches on:

– On the outside, sidelamps, dipped beam

headlamps and door mirror spotlamps.

– Inside, courtesy lamps and footwell lighting.

Activation / deactivation and adjustment

of the duration of the welcome lighting are

set via the Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.

This system is a driving aid.

The driver remains responsible for the

vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the

prevailing conditions of light, visibility and

traffic, and for observation of driving and

vehicle regulations.

Door mirror spotlamps

These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle

by lighting the ground near the front doors.

The spotlamps come on automatically:

– when the vehicle is unlocked.

This indicator lamp goes out when the

function is deactivated.

– when a door is opened.

Lighting and visibility

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.

Pause

Operation

If the situation requires a change of headlamp

beam, the driver can take over at any time.

►ꢀ A "headlamp flash" pauses the function:

• If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator

lamps were on, the system changes to main

beam.

Using a camera, the system detects the driving

conditions (brightess, lights from oncoming or

followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the

beams of the main headlamps accordingly.

The modules that make up the main beams

switch on and off gradually, segment by segment,

depending on the driving conditions detected:

Followed vehicle

• If the "AUTO" and "Main beam"

indicator lamps were on, the system changes

to dipped beam.

To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps

again.

DS MATRIX LED VISION

The system may be disrupted or not work

correctly:

– When visibility conditions are poor

(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).

– If the windscreen in front of the camera is

dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a

sticker).

Available only on versions equipped with Full LED

headlamps with the Matrix Beam function.

This system automatically adapts the main

beam according to the driving conditions, so that

optimum illumination is maintained for the driver,

without causing a nuisance to other road users.

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only

those lamp segments directed at the followed

vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as

not to dazzle its driver.

– If the vehicle is facing highly reflective

signs.

The driver remains responsible for the

vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the

prevailing conditions of light, visibility and

traffic, and for observation of driving and

vehicle regulations.

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).

Oncoming vehicle

The system is active from 25 mph

(40 km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph

(20 km/h).

– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep

slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
