one month: the message “Service due in” is displayed ac-

companied by the nearest term (distance or time);

–

distance equal to 0 miles or service date reached: the

message “service vehicle” is displayed accompanied by the

The display of information shown below DEPENDS ON THE VEHICLE EQUIPMENT AND COUNTRY.

Examples of selections

Interpreting the display selected

On-board computer with distance before

next service message (cntd.)

c) Mileage before service or oil change.

Mileage before service

With the ignition switched on and the engine not running,

and the selected display is “Mileage before service”, press

button 2 or 3 for about 5 seconds to display the mileage before

the next service, then briefly press button 2 or 3 to view the

mileage before the next oil change (distance or time remaining

before the next service). When the range approaches its limit,

there are several possible scenarios:

–

distance/time remaining less than 900 miles (1,500 km) or

one month: the message “Service due in” is displayed ac-

companied by the nearest term (distance or time);

–

range equal to 0 km/miles or service date reached: the

message “service vehicle” is displayed accompanied by the

The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.

SERVICE

INTERVALS

Oil change in

30 000 Kms / 24 mo.

Service due in

300 Kms / 24 days

Service required

Depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies according to the driving style (frequent driving at low speed,

door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idling speed, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil change can

therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distance travelled.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before the next service, press and hold button 2 or 3 for approximately 10 seconds until the

display shows the mileage before service without flashing.

NB: if a service is performed without changing the engine oil, only the mileage before the next service should be reset. In the

event of an oil change, both the distance before the next service and the next oil change should be reset.

Automatic operation

(depending on vehicle)

If driving on the left in a left-hand

drive vehicle (or vice versa), drivers

must have the lights adjusted by an

authorised dealer for the duration of

the trip.

1.78

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 oppo-

site direction.
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 30 mph (45 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 circum-

stances be used to replace driver attention and responsibility with regard

to vehicle lighting and adapting to light, visibility and traffic conditions.

Using the portable naviga-

tion system at night in the

windscreen area below the

camera may disturb the op-

eration of the “automatic main beam

headlights” system (risk of reflection

on the windscreen).

Activation
Turn ring 2 until the AUTO symbol is op-

posite mark 3.

Pull stalk 1 to activate main beam

headlights.

Warning light

comes on the in-

strument panel.

Deactivation
– pull stalk 1 again;

or

– turn ring 2 to a position other than

AUTO.

Warning light

goes out on the in-

strument panel.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

(2/4)

Turning on the fog lights deactivates

the system and prevents it from

being activated.

The system may encounter difficul-

ties under certain conditions, includ-

ing:
– 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;

– reflecting systems.

1.79

EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND SIGNALS

(3/4)

Special note:

– If the dipped beam headlights are

manually switched on and if the light

is sufficient, the directional head-

lights will remain fixed;

– If the lights come on automatically

when cornering, the directional

headlights will start working from the

next time the vehicle corners;

– When the dipped beam headlights

are switched on with the engine

running and the vehicle stationary,

the lights move to reinitialise them-

selves. If not, there is a system fault.

Switching off the lights

There are two possibilities:

– manually, move ring 2 to position 0;

– automatically, the lights will go out

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.

NB: if the fog lights are lit, the lights are

not switched off automatically.

“See-me-home lighting”

function

This function allows you to briefly switch

on the dipped beam headlights (to pro-

vide light when opening a gate, etc.).
With the engine and lights off and

the ring 2 in the position 0, pull stalk 1

towards you: the dipped beam head-

lights come on for approximately thirty

seconds. To increase this duration, you

may pull the stalk up to four times (total

time restricted to two minutes). The

message “See-me-home” along with

the times the lights will be on for is dis-

played on the instrument panel to con-

firm this action.
To switch off the lights before they go

out automatically, turn ring 2 to any po-

sition, then return it to position 0.

Directional headlights

Depending on the vehicle, with the

dipped beam headlights on and under

certain conditions (speed, steering

wheel angle, forwards gear selected,

etc.) when cornering, the dipped beam

headlights move to light the inside of

the bend.
Operating faults
Depending on the vehicle, when the

message “Check lighting” appears on

the instrument panel along with the

©

warning light, this indicates that

there is a lighting fault.

Consult an approved dealer.

To avoid inconveniencing other road

users, remember to switch off the rear

fog light when it is no longer needed.

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.

Switching off the lights

Turn ring 5 again until mark 6 is oppo-

site the symbol for the fog light that you

wish to switch off. The corresponding

indicator light on the instrument panel

goes out.
