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.
