The spotlamps come on automatically:  
– when the vehicle is unlocked.  
The permanent display disappears upon  
switching off the ignition or if the conditions are  
not met.  
– when a door is opened.

They go off automatically after 30 seconds.  
DS NIGHT VISION is a driving aid system  
that cannot, under any circumstances,  
replace the personal assessment of night-time  
visibility and traffic conditions.  
In some conditions, the contrasts in  
temperature are insufficient and the system  
may not detect all dangers or, conversely, it  
may give false warnings (e.g. engines of lorries  
parked on the edge of the road).  
DS NIGHT VISION  
►ꢀ With the ignition off, pull the lighting control  
stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to activate/

Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off  
automatically after a period of time.  
Conditions for operation

of Stop & Start.

headlamps on and in good working order.  
– Temperature between -30°C and +28°C.  
– Speed below 99 mph (160 km/h).

Automatic exterior welcome  
lighting  
With the "Automatic illumination of headlamps"  
function activated, under low ambient light, the  
sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps and door  
mirror spotlamps come on automatically when  
the vehicle is unlocked.  
In conditions of low exterior light, the system uses  
an infrared camera at the front of the vehicle  
to identy and signal the presence of pedestrians  
and animals in the driver’s field of vision.  
To benefit from the permanent display of the  
infrared camera image in the instrument panel,  
select the "Night Vision" display mode by turning  
the knob on the left-hand side of the steering  
wheel. When the conditions are met, an alert is  
triggered if there is a risk of collision.  
Operation  
Activation/deactivation of the function is  
done in the Driving/Vehicle menu of the  
touch screen.  
If all the operating conditions are met, this  
indicator lamp comes on in green: the  
display in the instrument panel (with "Night  
Vision" mode selected) and triggering of alerts  
are available.  
Activation, deactivation and the duration  
of the exterior welcome lighting are set in  
the Driving / Vehicle menu of the touch screen.  
Door mirror spotlamps  
These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle  
by lighting the ground near the front doors.

The image provided by the camera is displayed

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.
