To refit the headrest
Check that the headrest rods are clean 3. Insert the headrest rods into the holes 1 (tilt the seatback backwards if neces- sary). Lower the headrest until it locks and press button 2 to adjust to the de- sired height. Check that each rod 3 on the seatback is securely locked.

Side lights
Turn ring 2 until the symbol is opposite mark 3. This indicator light on the instrument panel comes on.

Daytime running lights function
The daytime running lights come on automatically with no action on stalk 1 when the engine is started, and they go off once the engine is switched off.

Manual operation
Turn ring 2 until the symbol is opposite mark 3. This indicator light on the in- strument panel comes on.

Automatic operation
(depending on the vehicle) Turn ring 2 until the AUTO symbol is op- posite mark 3: 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. Depending on the vehicle, the dipped beam headlights will appear automati- cally after several sweeps of the wind- screen wiper blades.

Main beam headlights
With the engine running and the dipped beam headlights lit, push stalk. This indicator light on the instrument panel comes on. To return to the dipped headlight posi- tion, pull stalk 1 towards you again.

“Raise lights during driving” function
When the main beam headlights are activated, the “Raise lights during driv- ing” function improves driver visibil- ity by automatically raising the dipped beam headlight and the main beam headlights. During deactivation of the main beam headlights, the dipped beam headlights return to their original position.

Automatic main beam headlights
Depending on the vehicle, this system switches the main beam headlights on and off automatically. It uses a camera located behind the interior rear-view mirror to detect vehicles that are being followed and those coming in the oppo- site direction.

The system may encounter difficul- ties under certain conditions, inclu- ding:

• extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.);
• obstruction in front of the wind-screen or camera;
• when a following or oncoming ve-hicle has weak or hidden lighting;
• incorrect settings for the front headlights;
• reflective systems;

The main beam headlights come on au- tomatically if:

• exterior light is weak;
• no other vehicles or lighting are de- tected;
• the vehicle speed is above approxi- mately 25 mph (40 km/h).

If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled, the system switches to dipped beam headlights.

Note: make sure the windscreen is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation etc.).

To activate automatic main beam headlights:
turn ring 2 until the symbol AUTO is opposite mark 3 and push the stalk 1. Warning light comes on the in- strument panel.

Operating faults
When the message “Check Automatic Lighting” appears on the instrument panel, the system is deactivated. Consult an approved dealer.

Switching off the lights
Depending on the vehicle:

• manually move ring 2 to position 0; or
• the lights will go out automatically when the engine is switched off, the driver’s door is opened or the vehicle is locked. In this case, the next time the engine is started the lights will be switched back on according to the position of the ring 2.

Note: if the fog lights are lit, the lights are not switched off automatically.

Lights-on reminder buzzer
If the lights are on after the engine is switched off, a warning beep sounds when the driver’s door is opened to warn you that the lights are still on.

Operating faults
If the “Check lighting” message appears with the © warning light and
the k warning light flashes on the instrument panel, this indicates a lighting fault. Consult an authorised dealer.

Welcome and goodbye function
(depending on the vehicle)
Once the function is activated, the day- time running lights and the rear side lights will light up automatically upon detection of the card or when the vehi- cle is unlocked.

They switch off automatically:

• approximately one minute after light- ing up;
• when starting the engine based on the position of the lighting stalk;
• upon locking the vehicle.

Activating/deactivating the function
For activation or deactivation of the ex- ternal reception, refer to the multimedia manual. Select ON or OFF.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

“See-me-home lighting” function
This function enables you to briefly switch on the side lights and dipped beam headlights (e.g. to provide light when opening a gate). With the engine and lights switched off, the 2 ring in AUTO position (or, de- pending on the vehicle, in 0 position) pull the stalk 1 towards you: the side lights and dipped beam headlights will switch on for approximately 30 seconds along with the š and k warn- ing lights on the instrument panel. To increase this duration, you may pull the stalk up to four times (total time re- stricted to approximately two minutes). On the instrument panel, the message “lighting on _ _ _” followed by the re- maining time will appear as confirmation. You can then lock your vehicle. To switch off the lights before they switch off automatically, turn the 2 ring to any position then return it to AUTO position (or, depending on the vehicle, to 0 position).

Rear fog lights
Turn centre ring 4 on the stalk until the symbol faces mark 3, then release it. Operation of the fog lights depends on the exterior lighting selected, and an indicator light will light up on the instrument panel.
Do not forget to switch off the fog lights when they are no longer needed, to avoid inconveniencing other road users.

Switching off the lights
Turn the centre ring 4 again until the 3 symbol is opposite the symbol for the fog lights. The corresponding indicator light on the instrument panel goes out. The rear fog lights switch off when the exterior lights are switched off. When driving in fog or snow, or when transporting objects which are higher than the roof, the headlights do not come on automatically. Switching on the fog lights remains the responsibility of the driver: the indicator lights on the instrument panel inform you whether the fog lights are lit (indicator light on) or not (indicator light not on).

AUDIBLE AND VISUAL SIGNALS

Horn
Press the steering wheel boss A to activate the horn.

Headlight flasher
Pull stalk 1 towards you then release it to flash the headlights.

Direction indicators
Move the stalk 1 in the same direction as you want to move the steering wheel.

One-touch mode
When driving, it is possible that the steering wheel may not be turned sufficiently to return the stalk automatically to its starting position.
In this case, move the stick 1 to halfway, then release it: the stalk returns to its original point and the indicator light flashes three times.

Hazard warning lights
Press switch 2. This switch activates all four direction indicators and the side indicator lights simultaneously. It must only be used in an emergency to warn drivers of other vehicles that you have had to stop in an area where stopping is prohibited or unexpected, or that you are obliged to drive under special conditions. Switch A is used to adjust the height of the headlight beams according to the load. With the dipped beam headlights lit, press or lift switch A as many times as is necessary to select the required position on the instrument panel.

Note: depending on the vehicle, when the engine is started, the position selected is displayed on the instrument panel for approximately 30 seconds and for 5 seconds each time switch A is pressed.

Operating faults
In the event of a malfunction of the automatic wiping, the wiper is set to intermittent wiping. Contact an authorised dealer.

The operation of the rain sensor can be disturbed in the event of:

• damaged wiper blades; a screen of water or traces left by a blade in the sensor’s detection zone may increase the response time of the automatic wiper, or increase the wiping frequency;
• a windscreen with any chip or crack level with the sensor, or a windscreen covered in dust, dirt, insects, ice, the use of washing wax and water-repellent chemicals; the automatic wiping will be less sensitive, or even unresponsive.

Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping speed slows down whenever the vehicle stops. For example, fast wiping speed will slow to normal wiping speed. As soon as the vehicle moves off, wiping will return to the speed originally selected. If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and cancels the automatic function.

Precautions

• In the event of ice, check whether the blades are stuck to the windscreen before operating the wiping mechanism. If you activate the wipers while the blades are stuck down with ice, you may risk damaging both the blade and the wiper motor.
• Do not activate the wipers on a dry screen. This will lead to premature wear or damage to the blades.

Specific front wiper position (service position)
This position enables the blades to be lifted to remove them from the windscreen.

This can be useful:

• to clean the blades;
• to release the blades from the windscreen in winter;

With the ignition on or engine started, lift the stalk twice 1 to position A (single sweep). The blades stop slightly away from the bonnet.
To return the blades to a low position, with the ignition on, ensure that the wipers have folded down onto the windscreen, then move the stalk 1 to position A (single sweep). Before switching on the ignition, place the wipers on the windscreen. Otherwise, there may be a risk of damage to the bonnet or the wipers when they are switched on.

Note:
In temperatures below zero, the washer liquid risks freezing to the windscreen, thereby reducing visibility. Heat the windscreen using the demister control before cleaning.

Efficiency of a wiper blade
Check the condition of the wiper blades. How long they last depends on you:

• it must remain clean: clean the blade and the screen regularly with soapy water;
  do not use it when the screen is dry;
• free it from the screen when it has not been used for a long time.
  In all cases, replace it as soon as it begins to lose efficiency: approximately once a year.

Precaution for using the wipers

• In freezing or snowy weather conditions, clear the screen before starting the wipers (risk of motor overheating);
• ensure that no objects are obstructing the travel of the blade.
