Lighting and visibility
Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off
automatically after a period of time.
The inner surface of the windscreen may
become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

Welcome lighting
When the vehicle is unlocked in low light
conditions and the "Automatic illumination of
headlamps" function is activated, this system
automatically switches on:
– On the outside, sidelamps, dipped beam
headlamps and door mirror spotlamps.
– Inside, courtesy lamps and footwell lighting.
The automatic lighting systems use a detection
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
Guide-me-home and
welcome lighting
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
– When visibility conditions are poor (e.g.
snowfall, heavy rain).
– If the windscreen is dirty, misted-up or
masked (e.g. sticker) in front of the camera.
– If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
The system is not able to detect:
– Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
– Vehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).
– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Guide-me-home lighting
Door mirror spotlamps
Automatic
These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle
by lighting the ground near the front doors.
The spotlamps come on automatically:
– when the vehicle is unlocked.
– 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.
With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the
"AUTO” position and when the light is poor, the
dipped beam headlamps come on automatically
when the ignition is switched off.
You can activate/deactivate and ad-
just the duration of the guide-me-
home lighting in the Settings > Vehi-
cle touch screen application.
Manual
Maintenance
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 camera.
► With the ignition off, pull the lighting control
stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to
activate/ deactivate the function.
