Lighting and visibility
The system is active from 16 mph
(25
km/h) and deactivates below 9 mph
(15
km/h).
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightess, lights from oncoming or
followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the
main beam headlamps accordingly.
The modules that make up the main beams
switch on and off gradually, segment by
segment, depending on the driving conditions
detected:
Followed vehicle
Oncoming vehicle
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the
system.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (for
example, a town), the lamp segments are
gradually switched off from the outside to the
inside of the vehicle to switch to the dipped
beams.
Exiting an illuminated area
The lamp segments gradually light up from the
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore
the main beams.
Activation/Deactivation
F Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the
"AUTO" position.
When approaching a
vehicle from behind, only
those lamp segments directed at the followed
vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as
not to dazzle its driver.
When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
those lamp segments directed at this vehicle
go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the
duration of the approach.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
Activation and deactivation are done
via the Driving/Vehicle menu of the
touch screen.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes
to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
F
Flashing the headlamps pauses the function
and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode:
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
