The exterior lights can only be switched
on when the ignition device is in the
ENGINE position.
Turning on the light may vary the
brightness of the instrument panel: its
brightness is regulated by an external
light sensor
(e.g. when entering a tunnel during the
day, it lights up as if it were night, etc.).
In daylight, the brightness of the
instrument panel remains at maximum,
while at night, it can be adjusted.
DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL)
23) 24)
The daytime running lights (DRL) are
activated with the ring (B) fig. 36 in
the AUTO position and in daylight

switched on, they remain off as long
as the electric parking brake (EPB) is
engaged or the gearbox is in the P
(Parking) position.
With the ignition device in ENGINE
position and the propulsion system not
active, the daytime running lights are
switched off.
The daytime running lights are also
temporarily deactivated when the
direction indicators are activated.
When the direction indicators are
deactivated, the daylight running lights
are reactivated.
With the bonnet open, the daytime
running lights on the bonnet are
switched off.
In some versions, if one of the daytime
running lights fails, all the daytime
running lights on the side where the
failure is present are switched off.

amount of external light needed to
switch the lights on.
