Lighting and visibility
04
If certain operating conditions (speed or
temperature) are not met, the indicator
lamp comes on in orange: only the display in the
instrument panel is available (in "Night Vision"
mode).
Whilst the exterior light is too bright or the dipped
beam headlamps have not been switched on, the
alerts are not available.
The image provided by the camera is displayed
in shades of grey in the instrument panel; warm
objects appear brighter than cold objects.
Once pedestrians or animals are detected, they
appear in yellow frames.
When the system detects a risk of a
collision with pedestrians or
animals, it triggers an alert: a symbol appears in
the centre of the display window. The silhouette
of the pedestrians or animals is framed in red.
If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a
temporary window.
In the event of an alert, the driver may act by
making an avoiding manoeuvre or by braking.
Operating limits
The following situations may interfere with the
operation of the system or prevent it working:
– poor visibility (falling snow, heavy rain, thick
fog),
– camera masked by snow, mud or dust,
– camera scratched after going through roller car
washes repeatedly,
– very high outside temperatures,
– at the top or bottom of a steep slope,
– on a very winding road,
– in a bend,
– after an impact which may have impaired the
camera settings or damaged it,
– after repainting of the grille outside the dealer
network or a qualified workshop.
Maintenance
recommendations
The infrared camera has a wash nozzle connected
to the vehicle’s front screenwash system.
This nozzle operates every 5th use of the
screenwash.
Regularly check that the camera is clean.
In bad weather, or in wintry conditions, ensure
that the camera is not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Malfunction
An orange warning lamp coming on whilst
all the operating conditions have been
met, accompanied by a message, indicates a
system malfunction.
Contact a dealer or a qualified workshop.
Automatic headlamp
dipping
When the ring is in the "AUTO” position, this
system automatically switches between dipped
and main beam headlamps according to the
lighting and traffic 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 for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic, and for observation of 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.
Activation/Deactivation
It is set via the Driving/ Vehicle touch
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory when
switching off the ignition.
