Lighting and visibility
– On the outside, sidelamps, dipped beam
headlamps and door mirror spotlamps.
– Inside, courtesy lamps and footwell lighting.
Door mirror spotlamps
These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle
by lighting the ground near the front doors.
The spotlamps come on automatically:
– when the vehicle is unlocked.
– when a door is opened.
– when a request to locate the vehicle is
received from the remote control.
They also come on with the welcome lighting
and guide-me-home lighting functions.

Automatic lighting
systems - General
recommendations
The automatic lighting systems use a detection
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
– When visibility conditions are poor
(e.g. snowfall, heavy rain).
– If the windscreen is dirty, misted-up or
masked (e.g. sticker) in front of the camera.
– If the vehicle is facing highly reective signs
or safety barrier reectors.
The system is not able to detect:
– Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
– Vehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).
– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Maintenance
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the camera.
Automatic headlamp
dipping
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations for
automatic lighting systems.
When the lighting control ring is in the "AUTO”
position and the function is activated on the
touch screen, this system automatically switches
between dipped and main beam headlamps
depending on light and trac conditions, using a
camera located at the top of the windscreen.
This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and trac conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
The system becomes operational when
the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
