Lighting and visibility
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
F
Flashing the headlamps pauses the function
and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode:
- if the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam"
indicator lamps are on, the system
changes to main beam,
- if the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator
lamps are on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
To reactivate the function, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may suffer interference or not
work correctly:
- under poor visibility conditions (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
- if the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, etc.) in front of
the camera,
- if the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
- road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
- vehicles whose lighting is obscured
(for example: vehicles running behind a
safety barrier on a motorway),
- vehicles at the top or bottom of a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads.
Operation

Activation / Deactivation
F
Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the
"AUTO" position.
The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
F
In the Vehicle / Driving menu,
select the " Driving functions "
tab, then " Automatic headlamp
dip ".
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or if
the traffic conditions do not allow illumination of
the main beam headlamps:
- dipped beam is maintained, this
indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
- main beam comes on
automatically: this indicator
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
As soon as the vehicle leaves the area of thick
fog, the function reactivates automatically.
This indicator lamp goes off while
the function is deactivated.
