Lighting and visibility

Adaptive Front System
(AFS)
Available only on versions equipped with Full LED
technology headlamps.
The AFS function manages several lighting
modes, specific to each driving situation.
The intensity and direction of the main headlamps
and the modules vary so as to increase or reduce
the range of the lighting.
The modules rotate and tilt so as to expand and
direct the light beam to increase or decrease the
lighting up of the sides of the road.
This function is a driving aid which
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver who
must continually adapt the driving of the
vehicle to the visibility and traffic conditions.
Activation/Deactivation
► Put the lighting control stalk in the "AUTO"
position.
► In the Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu,
select “Adaptive lighting”.
“City” mode
The headlamps provide medium-intensity
illumination supplemented by the modules facing
outwards.
The width of the beam is increased to allow the
driver to better distinguish hazards on the side of
the roads (pedestrians, intersections).
The range of this lighting is approximately 280m.
This mode is activated once the vehicle has been
running for more than 3 seconds at a speed lower
than 31 mph (50 km/h).
“Road” mode
This lighting provides an improved light beam,
an increased intensity of the headlamps and a
decreased intensity of the modules.
The range of this lighting is approximately 330m.
This mode is activated once the vehicle has
been running for more than 2 seconds at a speed
between 31 mph (50 km/h) and 68 mph (110
km/h).
“Motorway” mode
The headlamps and modules create a cone of light
with a high beam, suitable for fast roads.
The range of this lighting is approximately 370m.
This mode is activated once the vehicle has
been running for more than 5 seconds at a speed
greater than 68 mph (110km/h).
“Rain” mode
This mode is activated when the windscreen
wipers are on.
The beam is widened. The power of the modules
is increased to enable the driver to see the road
markings more easily, whilst the intensity of the
main headlamps is reduced so as to improve the
driver’s vision (taking reflections caused by a wet
road into account).
The range of this lighting is approximately 330m.
Cornering lighting
If your vehicle is so equipped, this system
makes use of the beam from a front foglamp to
illuminate the inside of a bend, when the main or
dipped beam headlamps are on and the vehicle
speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h) (urban driving,
winding road, intersections, parking manoeuvres,
etc.).
