Display
Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
With "Full LED" technology headlamps,
the range of the dipped beam headlamps is
automatically increased once the speed of the
vehicle is above 68 mph (110 km/h).
Illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp on the instrument panel confirms that the
selected lighting is on.
A fault with a lamp is signalled by the
permanent illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
"Foggy function"
With "Full LED" technology headlamps,
in order to limit the “whiteout” effect when
driving in fog, the brightness of the dipped
beam headlamps is decreased automatically
when the rear foglamps are switched on.
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
Rear foglamps
They only work if the dipped or main
beam headlamps are on.
