DESCRIPTION

The dipped headlights are switched on using the steering column stalk by turning the ring nut forwards: the dipped headlights are activated, the daytime running lights switch off and the side lights, dipped headlights and number plate lights switch on.

The switching on of the dipped headlights is managed by the Body Computer.

On some versions, the dipped headlights are also activated automatically by the dusk sensor.

This sensor, located on the windscreen under the interior rear view mirror, detects the variations in outside brightness depending on the light setting: the greater the sensitivity, the less external light is required to activate the exterior lights.

The setting of the dusk sensor can be adjusted using the instrument panel setup menu.

When the ring nut is turned in the opposite direction (AUTO position) the side lights and the dipped headlights automatically switch on simultaneously depending on the exterior brightness.

The headlights can only be flashed with the sensor on.

The main beam headlights will switch off followed after approximately 10 seconds by the side lights, when the sensor is deactivated.

If a fault is detected with the dusk sensor, the "general failure" warning light is switched on and the information is shown simultaneously on the display.

The "Follow me home" function allows the dipped headlights and the side lights to remain on even after the engine has been switched off (key in STOP position or extracted) for a period of 30 seconds or multiples thereof. The side lights warning light in the instrument panel signals that the lights have remained on. It is turned on using the lever in the same way as for activating the flasher within 2 minutes of the ignition being turned to STOP: each time the lever is operated the length of time the lights remain on is increased by 30 seconds, up to a maximum of 210 seconds. Turning the key to the MAR-ON position or keeping the flasher lever pulled for more than 2 seconds eliminates the function.

In addition, at the Key-OFF the "Exterior courtesy lights" function turns on the dipped headlights for a limited time when the doors or the tailgate are unlocked using the remote control.

The "Exterior courtesy lights" function can be activated or deactivated using the setup menu in the instrument panel.
