The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching o the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is very low and trac
conditions permit:
– The main beam headlamps
come on automatically. These
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is sucient and/or the
trac conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam headlamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
light up on the instrument panel.
The function is deactivated if the foglamps
are switched on or if the system detects poor
visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain,
snowfall).
When the foglamps are switched o or when the
visibility conditions become favourable again, the
function is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the
function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► Switch the headlamps manually between
dipped and main beam to pause the function.
If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.

were on, the system changes to dipped beam.
► To reactivate the function, once again switch
the headlamps manually between dipped and
main beam.

the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres).
