Lighting controls
System for 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 lighting progressively in relation to the climatic conditions and so improve the driver's visibility:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clearly when the road is clear,
- directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are installed to fulfi l the requirements of particular driving conditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better visibility,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.
Programming
Various automatic lighting control modes are also available according to the following options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic lighting,
- directional headlamps.

In good or rainy weather, by 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.
Do not forget to switch off the front foglamps and the rear foglamp when they are no longer necessary.
Lighting on audible warning
When the ignition is switched off, all of the lamps switch off automatically, unless guide-me-home lighting is activated.
If the lighting is switched on manually after switching off the ignition, there is an audible signal when a front door is opened to warn the driver that they have forgotten to switch off the vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off.
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.
