Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for
the dipped beam headlamps if automatic
guide-me-home lighting is activated.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

off, then to the position of your choice.
When the driver's door is opened, a
temporary audible signal warns you that
the vehicle's lighting is on.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state of
charge of the battery (entry to energy
economy mode).
daytime running lamps /
Sidelamps
(LEds)
The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) come on
automatically when the engine is started.
They provide the following functions:
- Daytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk in position "
0 " or " AUTO " with
adequate light level).
- Sidelamps (lighting control stalk in
position " AUTO
" with low light level or
"Sidelamps only" or "Main or dipped beam
headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as
daytime running lamps.
