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 vehicle configuration menu.

- With the ignition off, pull the lighting control
stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to activate/
deactivate the function.
Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off
automatically after a period of time.
Welcome lighting
With the "Automatic headlamp illumination"
function activated, in poor light, the sidelamps
and dipped beam headlamps come on
automatically when the vehicle is unlocked.
Activation, deactivation and the duration of the
exterior welcome lighting are set in the vehicle
configuration menu.
These lamps at the front and rear of the vehicle
light up automatically when the engine starts.
They perform the following functions:
Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk
at position "0" or "AUTO" with adequate ambient
light)...
When the ring is in the "AUTO” position, this
system automatically switches between dipped
and main beam headlamps according to the
lighting and traffic conditions, using a camera
located at the top of the windscreen...
Other information:
(Depending on version.)
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the engine oil level status is displayed
on the instrument panel for a few seconds upon
switching the ignition on, after the servicing
information.
The level read will only be
correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes...
In wintry conditions,
remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and on the
windscreen seal, before operating the wipers.
Do not operate the wipers
on a dry
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are
not stuck to the windscreen before operating
the wipers...
