Lighting and visibility  
Parking lamps  
Malfunction  
Direction indicators  
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps on  
the traffic side only.  
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.  
►ꢀ 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).  
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the  
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator  
lamp on the instrument panel.  
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.  
►ꢀ To switch off the parking lamps, return the  
lighting control stalk to the central position.  
►ꢀ Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control  
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.  
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor  
may detect sufficient light. In this case,  
the lighting will not come on automatically.  
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).  
Automatic illumination of  
headlamps  
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.  
Guide-me-home and  
welcome lighting  
Three flashes  
►ꢀ Press briefly upwards or downwards, without  
going beyond the point of resistance; the direction  
indicators will flash 3 times.  
On versions fitted with LED direction indicators,  
the line of LEDs is illuminated sequentially.  
The brightness of the daytime runnning lamps  
is reduced during sequential operation of the  
direction indicators.  
Guide-me-home lighting  
Automatic  
With the ring in the "AUTO" position, when the  
light is poor, the dipped beam headlamps come on  
automatically when the ignition is switched off.  
You can activate/deactivate this function  
and adjust the guide-me-home lighting  
duration in the Driving / Vehicle touch screen  
menu.  
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient  
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched  
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

Lighting and visibility  
Manual  
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.  
– when a request to locate the vehicle is received  
from the remote control.  
They also come on with the welcome lighting and  
guide-me-home lighting functions.  
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/  
deactivate the function.  
Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off  
automatically after a period of time.  
Conditions for operation  
– With the engine running and in Stop mode  
of Stop & Start.  
– Very low light conditions with dipped beam  
headlamps on and in good working order.  
– Temperature between -30°C and +28°C.  
– Speed below 99 mph (160 km/h).  
– Detection of animals taller than 0.50 m.  
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.
