Lighting and visibility  
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary  
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps  
are on.  
They will go off automatically after a period  
of time that depends on the state of charge of  
the battery (entering energy economy mode).  
They provide the following functions:  
Three flashes  
– Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk at  
position "AUTO" with adequate light level).  
– Sidelamps (lighting control stalk "AUTO"  
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps only”  
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").  
►ꢀ Press briefly upwards or downwards, without  
going beyond the point of resistance; the direction  
indicators will flash 3 times.  
Parking lamps  
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps on  
the traffic side only.  
►ꢀ Depending on version, within one minute  
of switching off the ignition, move the lighting  
control stalk up or down, depending which side  
the traffic is on (for example, when parking on the  
left, moving the lighting control stalk upwards  
turns on the right-hand sidelamps).  
The LEDs are brighter when operating as  
daytime running lamps.  
In some weather conditions (e.g. low  
temperature or humidity), the presence of  
misting on the internal surface of the glass of  
the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it  
disappears after the lamps have been on for a  
few minutes.  
Direction indicators  
Never look too closely at the luminous  
beam of “Full LED” headlamps: risk of  
serious eye injury.  
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the  
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator  
lamp on the instrument panel.  
►ꢀ To switch off the parking lamps, return the  
lighting control stalk to the central position.

headlamps:  
Automatic illumination of  
headlamps  
►ꢀ Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control  
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.  
If planning to use your vehicle in a country  
that drives on the other side of the road, the  
headlamp dipped beams must be adjusted to  
avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Contact a  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
If you forget to cancel the direction  
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the  
volume of the audible signal will increase if the  
speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h).  
When the ring is at the “AUTO" position and  
a low level of ambient light is detected by the  
rain/sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,  
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are  
switched on automatically, without any action on  
the part of the driver. They may also come on if  
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic  
operation of the windscreen wipers.  
Daytime running lamps/  
sidelamps  
The front and rear lamps light up automatically  
when the engine starts.

Lighting and visibility  
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient  
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched  
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.  
In the event of a malfunction, this warning  
lamp comes on on the instrument panel,  
accompanied by the display of a message and an  
audible signal.

Malfunction  
The system then places the headlamp beams in  
the lowest position.  
Have the system checked by a dealer or a  
qualified workshop.  
Manual adjustment of the  
halogen headlamps  
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/  
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lighting  
comes on and this warning lamp is displayed in  
the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible  
signal and/or the display of a message.  
Do not touch the DS Matrix LED Vision  
headlamps - risk of electrocution!  
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor  
located at the top centre of the  
windscreen behind the interior rear view  
mirror; the associated functions would no  
longer be controlled.  
Guide-me-home and  
welcome lighting  
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road users,  
the height of these headlamp beams should be  
adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.  
Guide-me-home lighting  
Automatic  
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor  
may detect sufficient light. In this case,  
the lighting will not come on automatically.
