Lights and visibility
The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED he
a
dlights allows the specific “tourist
light” values to be met without the need for
stickers or changes in the settings.
Note
“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you ar
e planning a long stay in a country that
drives on the other side, you should take the
vehicle to an Authorised Technical Service to
change the headlights.

He
adlight range control
The headlight range control ››› Fig. 136 is
modified according to the value of the head-
light beam and the vehicle load status. This
offers the driver optimum visibility and the
headlights do not dazzle oncoming drivers

The he

ment empty

a)
If the vehicle load does not correspond to those shown in the
table, it is possible to select intermediary positions.
Dynamic headlight range control
The control is not mounted in vehicles with
dynamic headlight range control. The head-
light range is automatically adjusted accord-
ing to the vehicle load status when they are
switched on.
Instrument panel lighting
With the ignition on and without light activa-
tion, the instrument panel lighting remains
activated in daytime light conditions. The
lighting is reduced as the exterior light di-
minishes. In some cases, e.g. when driving
through a tunnel without the function
active, the instrument panel lighting may
even switch off. The objective of this function
is to provide the driver with a visual indica-
tion that he or she should activate the dip-
ped beam.
WARNING
Heavy objects in the vehicle may mean that
the hea
dlights dazzle and distract other driv-
ers. This could result in a serious accident.
●
Adjust the light beam to the vehicle load
status so that it does not blind other drivers.
