Control stalk for the selection and control of the various front and rear lamps providing the vehicle's lighting.

Main lighting

The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle are designed to adapt the driver's visibility progressively in relation to the climatic conditions:

- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear.

Additional lighting

Other lamps are fitted to fulfil the requirements of particular driving conditions:

- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.

Settings

Various automatic lighting control modes are also available depending on options:

- daytime running lamps,
- automatic illumination of headlamps,
- directional lighting,
- guide-me-home lighting.

C. Foglamp selection ring.

The foglamps operate with the dipped and main beam headlamps.

Rear foglamp

To switch on the foglamp, turn the ring C forwards.

When the lighting is switched off automatically (with AUTO model), the foglamp and the dipped beam headlamps will remain on.

To switch off all of the lighting, turn the ring C rearwards.

Front and rear foglamps

Rotate and release the ring C :

forwards a first time to switch on the front foglamps,

forwards a second time to switch on the rear foglamp,

rearwards a first time to switch off the rear foglamp,

rearwards a second time to switch of the front fog lamps.

When the lighting is switched off automatically (with AUTO model) or when the dipped headlamps are switched off manually, the foglamps and sidelamps will remain on.

Turn the ring rearwards to switch off the foglamps, the sidelamps will then switch off.

In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear foglamp are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers.

They should only be used in fog or snow.

In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch on the foglamps and dipped beam headlamps manually as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.

Do not forget to switch off the front foglamps and the rear foglamp when they are no longer necessary.

Switching off the lamps when the ignition is switched off

On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped beam if guide-me-home lighting is activated.

Switching on the lamps after the ignition is switched off

To reactivate the lighting control, rotate ring A to the "0" position - lamps off, then to the desired position.

On opening the driver's door a temporary audible signal warns the driver that the lighting is on.

The lamps, with the exception of the sidelamps, switch off automatically after a maximum duration of thirty minutes to prevent discharging of the battery.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal surface of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

LED lamps

They come on when the engine is started.

Depending on the destination country, they are used for:

- daytime running lamps * in day mode and sidelamps in night mode (they are brighter when daytime running lamps),

or

- sidelamps in day and night mode.

Where LED lamps are fitted, the fi lament bulbs for the daytime running lamps / sidelamps in the front lamp units are not used.

* function that can be set in the vehicle configuration menu.

Daytime running lamps

Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain countries, which comes on automatically when the engine is started making the vehicle more visible to other users.

This function is assured:

- in countries where it is imposed by regulations, by illumination of the dipped beam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps; this function cannot be deactivated.

- for other countries where it is provided, by the use of dedicated lamps (bulbs or LEDs); this function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.

The lighting control stalk must be placed in the "0" or "AUTO" (day mode) position.

Deactivation of the daytime running lamps is effective after operation of the lighting control stalk or after the next engine start; activation is effective immediately.

The instruments and controls (instrument panel, multifunction screen, air conditioning control panel, ...) are not illuminated, except in night mode with manual or automatic illumination of headlamps.

Manual guide-me-home lighting

Temporarily keeping the dipped beam headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has been switched off makes the driver's exit easier when the light is poor.

Switching on

With the ignition off, "fl ash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk.

A further "headlamp fl ash" switches the function off.

Switching off

The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after a set time.

Automatic illumination of headlamps

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, when a low level of external light is detected or in certain cases of activation of the windscreen wipers.
