Manual operation
Turn ring 3 until the symbol is opposite mark 2. This indicator light on the instrument panel comes on.
Automatic operation
Turn ring 3 until the AUTO symbol is opposite mark 2: with the engine running, the dipped beam headlights switch on or off automatically depending on the brightness of the light outside, without any action on stalk 1.
Before driving at night: check that the electrical equipment is operating correctly. As a general precaution, check that the lights are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow or objects being transported).
When driving on the left in a left-hand drive vehicle (or vice versa), drivers must readjust their lights throughout their stay (see “Adjusting headlight beams” in Section 1).
Automatic main beam headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system switches the main beam headlights on and off automatically. The function uses a camera located behind the interior rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that are following and coming in the opposite direction.
The main beam headlights come on automatically if:
- exterior light is weak;
- no other vehicles or lighting are detected;
- the vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (40 km/h).
If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled, the system switches to dipped beam headlights.
The “automatic main beam headlights” system should under no circumstances be used to replace driver attention and responsibility with regard to vehicle lighting and adapting to light, visibility and traffic conditions.
Activation
Turn ring 3 until the AUTO symbol is opposite mark 2.
Push stalk 1 to activate the main beam headlights. The warning light comes on on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
- Move stalk 1 towards you again;
- or turn ring 3 to a position other than AUTO ;
- or, depending on the vehicle, on the multifunction screen: select the “Vehicle” menu, followed by “Driving assistance”, “Automatic main beam lights”, then choose “OFF".
Warning light goes out on the instrument panel.
The system may encounter difficulties under certain conditions, including:
- extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.);
- obstruction in front of the windscreen or camera;
- when a following or oncoming vehicle has weak or hidden lighting;
- incorrect settings for the front headlights;
- reflective systems;
- ...
Using the portable navigation system at night in the windscreen area below the camera may disturb the operation of the “automatic main beam headlights” system (risk of reflection on the windscreen).

Switching off the lights
There are two possibilities:

A warning beep sounds when the driver’s door is opened to warn you that the lights are still on.
“See-me-home lighting” function

With the engine and lights switched off and the ring 3 in position 0 or AUTO, pull the stalk 1 towards you: the dipped beam headlights come on for approximately 30 seconds. To increase this duration, you may pull the stalk up to four times (total time limited to approximately 2 minutes).
