If certain operating conditions (speed or

The image provided by the camera is displayed

in shades of grey in the instrument panel; warm

objects appear brighter than cold objects.

Once pedestrians or animals are detected, they

appear in yellow frames.

Maintenance

recommendations

The infrared camera has a wash nozzle connected

to the vehicle’s front screenwash system.

This nozzle operates every 5th use of the

screenwash.

Regularly check that the camera is clean.

In bad weather, or in wintry conditions, ensure

that the camera is not covered with mud, ice or

snow.

temperature) are not met, the indicator

lamp comes on in orange: only the display in the

instrument panel is available (in "Night Vision"

mode).

Whilst the exterior light is too bright or the dipped

beam headlamps have not been switched on, the

alerts are not available.

When the system detects a risk of a

collision with pedestrians or

animals, it triggers an alert: a symbol appears in

the centre of the display window. The silhouette

of the pedestrians or animals is framed in red.

If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been

selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a

temporary window.

Malfunction

An orange warning lamp coming on whilst

all the operating conditions have been

met, accompanied by a message, indicates a

system malfunction.

In the event of an alert, the driver may act by

making an avoiding manoeuvre or by braking.

Operating limits

Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.

The following situations may interfere with the

operation of the system or prevent it working:

– poor visibility (falling snow, heavy rain, thick

fog),

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.

– camera masked by snow, mud or dust,

– camera scratched after going through roller car

washes repeatedly,

– very high outside temperatures,

– at the top or bottom of a steep slope,

– on a very winding road,

– in a bend,

– after an impact which may have impaired the

camera settings or damaged it,

– after repainting of the grille outside the dealer

network or a qualified workshop.

Lighting and visibility

The system may be disrupted or not work

correctly:

Operation

If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the

traffic conditions do not allow the main beam

headlamps to be lit:

– 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 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).

– If the vehicle is facing highly reflective

signs.

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).

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.

– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep

slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.

This indicator lamp goes out when the

function is deactivated.

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.

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

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.

Activation/Deactivation

It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch

screen menu.

The state of the system stays in the memory when

switching off the ignition.

• If the "AUTO" and "Main beam"

indicator lamps were on, the system changes

to dipped beam.

To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps

again.
