Lighting and visibility
If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
-
main beam comes on
automatically: these indicator
lamps come on in the instrument
panel.
The system is deactivated when you switch on
the foglamps or when the system detects thick
fog.
When you switch off the foglamps or as soon
as the vehicle leaves the area of thick fog, the
function reactivates automatically.
This indicator lamp goes off while
the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
F
A "headlamp flash" pauses the function:
-
if the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam"
indicator lamps were on, the system
changes to main beam,
- if the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may suffer interference or not
work correctly:
- under conditions of poor visibility
(snow, heavy rain, etc.),
- if the windscreen in front of the camera
is dirty, misted or obscured (for
example, by a sticker, etc.),
-
if the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
-
road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
- vehicles whose lighting is obscured
(for example: vehicles running behind
a safety barrier on a motorway),
-
vehicles at the top or bottom of
a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
DS MATRIX LED VISION
Available only on versions equipped with Full
LED headlamps with Matrix Beam function.
This system automatically adapts the main
beam according to the driving conditions, so
that optimum lighting is maintained for the
driver, without causing a
nuisance to other road
users.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic, and for observation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
