Automatic driving lights control
Switch position : depending on ambient light
conditions, the system switches the low-beam
headlights off and on automatically, for example
in a tunnel, at twilight and in rain or snow. The
indicator light in the instrument cluster is illumi‐
nated.
The headlights may also come on when the sun
is sitting low in a blue sky.
The low-beam headlights always remain on
when the fog lights are switched on.
Personal responsibility
The driving lights control function is no
substitute for your individual judgement of when
it is necessary to switch on the lights.
The sensors are unable, for instance, to recog‐
nise fog or hazy weather. In such situations,
switch on the lights manually to avoid any safety
risk.◀

trol system that makes it possible to illuminate

ahead on the basis of the steering angle and
other parameters.
