Lighting and visibility  
“City” mode  
The range of this lighting is approximately 330 m.  
This mode is activated once the vehicle has  
been running for more than 2 seconds at a speed  
between 31 mph (50 km/h) and 68 mph (110  
km/h).  
Adaptive Front System  
(AFS)  
Available only on versions equipped with Full LED  
technology headlamps.  
The AFS function manages several lighting  
modes, specific to each driving situation.  
The intensity and direction of the main headlamps  
and the modules vary so as to increase or reduce  
the range of the lighting.  
The modules rotate and tilt so as to expand and  
direct the light beam to increase or decrease the  
lighting up of the sides of the road.  
“Motorway” mode  
The headlamps provide medium-intensity  
illumination supplemented by the modules facing  
outwards.  
The width of the beam is increased to allow the  
driver to better distinguish hazards on the side of  
the roads (pedestrians, intersections).  
The range of this lighting is approximately 280 m.  
This mode is activated once the vehicle has been  
running for more than 3 seconds at a speed lower  
than 31 mph (50 km/h).  
This function is a driving aid which  
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the  
need for vigilance on the part of the driver who  
must continually adapt the driving of the  
vehicle to the visibility and traffic conditions.  
The headlamps and modules create a cone of light  
with a high beam, suitable for fast roads.  
The range of this lighting is approximately 370 m.  
This mode is activated once the vehicle has  
been running for more than 5 seconds at a speed  
greater than 68 mph (110 km/h).

Lighting and visibility  
The beam is widened. The power of the modules  
is increased to enable the driver to see the road  
markings more easily, whilst the intensity of the  
main headlamps is reduced so as to improve the  
driver’s vision (taking reflections caused by a wet  
road into account).  
or  
– from a certain angle of rotation of the steering  
wheel.  
It becomes inactive:  
– below a certain angle of rotation of the steering  
wheel.  
The range of this lighting is approximately 330 m.  
– above 25 mph (40 km/h).  
– when reverse gear is engaged.  
Cornering lighting  
Dynamic cornering lighting  
Without cornering lighting  
Available only on versions equipped with “Full  
LED” technology headlamps.  
The headlamps follow the trajectory of the vehicle  
in bends to provide better lighting of the road.  
If your vehicle is so equipped, this system  
makes use of the beam from a front foglamp to  
illuminate the inside of a bend, when the main or  
dipped beam headlamps are on and the vehicle  
speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h) (urban driving,  
winding road, intersections, parking manoeuvres,  
etc.).  
With cornering lighting

wheel.
