Automatic headlight control
When the automatic dipped beam is switched
on, the vehicle's lighting and the lighting of the
instruments and controls turn on and o under
the following conditions:
•
The light sensor has detected darkness.
•
The wiper has been on for some time.
When the lights are on, the control lamp lights
up in yellow.
The automatic dipped beam is only an auxili-
ary function and cannot always identify all sit-
uations that may arise during driving with sui-
cient precision.
If the vehicle has the appropriate equipment,
the vehicle settings menu of the infotainment
system can be used to set the moment that
the dipped beam automatically switches on

Cornering light function
The cornering light function is an additional
function to the dipped beam headlights to im-
prove lighting of the side of the road when tak-
ing a sharp turn at low speed.
When the dipped beam is on, a static corner-
ing light comes on when driving at speeds be-
low about 40 km/h (25 mph) or on very tight
bends.
•
If the steering wheel is turned or the turn sig-
nal is switched on, the corresponding fog light
comes on progressively. After the turn, the
cornering light function is gradually switched
o.
•
When engaging reverse gear, both fog lights
turn on at the same time.
Daytime running lights
Daytime running lights can increase the ve-
hicle’s visibility when driving in daylight and
they turn on automatically when the ignition
is switched on (if brightness is detected).
Audible warnings to advise the driver that
the lights have not been switched o
If the ignition is not connected and the driver
door is open, an audible warning signal is heard
in the following cases: this will remind you to
turn the light o.

When the parking light is on ››› page 114.
•
When the lamp or is on.
If the exit lighting is switched on (“Coming
Home” function), when you leave the vehicle
there will be no audio warning to warn you that
the lights are still on.
WARNING
If the road is not well lit and other road users
cannot see the vehicle well enough or at all,
accidents may occur.
•
The automatic dipped beam control ( )
only switches on the dipped beam when
there are no changes in brightness, and not,
for example when it is foggy.
WARNING
The side lights or daytime running lights are
not bright enough to illuminate the road
ahead and to ensure that other road users
are able to see you.
•
Always use your dipped beam head lights if
it is raining or if visibility is poor.
•
Never drive with daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions.
