Lighting and visibility
When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
those lamp segments directed at this vehicle
go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the
duration of the approach.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (for
example, a town), the lamp segments are
gradually switched off from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle to switch to the dipped
beams.
►ꢀ Flashing the headlamps pauses the
function and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode:
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The function temporarily deactivates when
the system detects thick fog or when you
switch on the foglamps. This is signalled by
the extinction of the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel.
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 running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
– vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the adaptive
headlamp lighting or the camera, this
warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message.
Exiting an illuminated area
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
The lamp segments gradually light up from the
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the
main beams.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, linked
to the rain sensor and located at the top
centre of the windscreen behind the interior
rear view mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
Activation/Deactivation
►ꢀ Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the
"AUTO" position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
The function can be activated and
deactivated in the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes to
"automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
The status of the system remains in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The system may suffer interference or not
work correctly:
– under conditions of poor visibility (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),
– if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with the DS MATRIX
LED VISION function:
If using your vehicle in a country that drives
on the other side of the road to the country of
sale, deactivate this function to avoid dazzling
oncoming drivers.
It is recommended to deactivate the function
in foggy or snowy conditions or in case of
heavy mist.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
