Lighting and visibility
upwards or downwards, depending on the side
of the tra󰀩c (e.g. when parking on the right, push
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the
left).
This is conrmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
► To switch o󰀨 the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
Automatic illumination of
lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the
number plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped
beam headlamps are switched on automatically,
without any action on the part of the driver. They
may also come on if rain is detected, at the same
time as automatic operation of the windscreen
wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a su󰀩cient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
o󰀨, the lamps are switched o󰀨 automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps
come on and this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Front foglamps and rear
foglamp
They operate with the sidelamps or
dipped beam headlamps on, in manual or
auto mode.
► Press and rotate the ring:
– forwards a 1
st
time to switch on the front
foglamps.
– forwards a 2
nd
time to switch on the rear
foglamp.
– backwards a 1
st
time to switch o󰀨 the rear
foglamp.
– backwards a 2
nd
time to switch o󰀨 the front
foglamps.
When the lamps are switched o󰀨 automatically
(with AUTO model) or when the dipped beam
headlamps are switched o󰀨 manually, the
foglamps and sidelamps remain on.
► Rotate the ring backwards to switch the
foglamps o󰀨; the sidelamps will then switch o󰀨.
Switching on the foglamps is prohibited
in clear weather or in rain, both day and
night. In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers. They must
only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may
vary depending on country).
Do not forget to switch o󰀨 the foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching o󰀨 of the lighting when the
ignition is switched o󰀨
When the ignition is switched o󰀨, all of the
lamps turn o󰀨 immediately, except for the
dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after
switching o󰀨 the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "AUTO" position, then to the
desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go o󰀨 automatically after a period
of time that depends on the level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
Direction indicators
► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you keep the direction indicators on for
more than 20 seconds, the volume of the
audible signal will increase if the speed is
above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three ashes
► Press briey upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will ash 3 times.
