86Lighting and visibilityYou can activate/deactivate this function and adjust the guide-me-home lighting duration in the Driving/Vehicletouch screen menu.Manual►With the ignition off, pull the lighting control stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to activate/deactivate the function.Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off automatically after a period of time.Welcome lightingWith the "Automatic headlamp illumination" function activated, in poor light, the sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps come on automatically when the vehicle is unlocked.Activation, deactivation and the duration of the exterior welcome lighting are set in the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.Automatic lighting systems - General recommendationsThe automatic lighting systems use a detection camera, located at the top of the windscreen.Operating limitsThe system may be disrupted or not work correctly:–When visibility conditions are poor (e.g.snowfall, heavy rain).–If the windscreen is dirty, misted-up or masked (e.g.sticker) in front of the camera.–If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs or safety barrier reflectors.The system is not able to detect:–Road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians.–Vehicles with hidden lighting (e.g.travelling behind a safety barrier on the motorway).–Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.MaintenanceClean the windscreen regularly, particularly the area in front of the camera.The internal surface of the windscreen can also become misted around the camera. In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Do not allow snow to accumulate on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could obstruct the camera.Automatic headlamp dippingFor more information, refer to the General recommendations for automatic lighting systems.With the ring of the lighting control stalkin the "AUTO" position and the function activated on the touch screen, this system automatically switches between dipped and main beam headlamps, according to lighting and traffic conditions, using a camera located at the top of the windscreen.
87Lighting and visibility4This system is a driving aid.The driver remains responsible for the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions, and for compliance with 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/DeactivationThe settings are changed via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.When deactivated, the lighting system changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.The state of the system is stored when the ignition is switched off.OperationIf the ambient light level is very low and traffic conditions permit:–The main beam headlamps come on automatically. These indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the traffic conditions do not allow the main beam headlamps to be lit:–The dipped beam headlamps remain lit. These indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.The function is deactivated if the foglamps are switched on or if the system detects poor visibility conditions (e.g.fog, heavy rain, snowfall).When the foglamps are switched off or when the visibility conditions become favourable again, the function is automatically reactivated.This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.PauseIf the situation requires a change of headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any time.►A "headlamp flash" pauses the function and the lighting system switches to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:–If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator lamps were on, the system changes to main beam.–If the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicatorlamps were on, the system changes to dipped beam.►To reactivate the function, once again switch the headlamps manually between dipped and main beam.The system may be disrupted or not work correctly:–When visibility conditions are poor (snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).–If the windscreen in front of the camera is dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a sticker).–If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.When the system detects thick fog, it temporarily deactivates the function.The system is not able to detect:–Road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians.–Vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for example, vehicles driving behind a safety barrier on a motorway).–Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.Clean the windscreen regularly, particularly the area in front of the camera.The internal surface of the windscreen can also become misted around the camera. In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Do not allow snow to accumulate on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could obstruct the detection camera.

In extremely hot or cold weather, check that the wiper blades are not stuck to the windscreen before operating the wipers.After using an automatic car wash, you may temporarily notice abnormal noises and poorer wiping performance. You do not need to replace the wiper blades.Without AUTO wipingWith AUTO wipingWindscreen wipers►To select the wiping speed: raise or lower the stalk to the desired position.Fast wiping (heavy rain) Normal wiping (moderate rain) Intermittent wiping (proportional to the vehicle’s speed)Switching offSingle wipe (press down and release). orAutomatic wiping Refer to the corresponding section.Windscreen wash►Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and hold.A final wiping cycle is performed when screenwashing ends.The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper arm.Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and reduces screenwash fluid consumption.With automatic air conditioning, any action on the screenwash control results in temporary closure of the air intake to protect the passenger compartment from any odour.
