If the sensor is activated but is malfunctioning, the
side lights and dipped beam headlights are switched
on irrespective of the outside light level: the sensor
failure is indicated on the display. It is also possible to
deactivate the sensor and switch on the desired
lights, if necessary.

IMPORTANT The sensor cannot detect the presence
of fog. These lights must therefore be switched on
manually in these circumstances.

MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS

To activate the main beam headlights, with ring nut at

, pull the stalk towards the steering wheel. The

warning light

switches on in the instrument panel.

When the stalk is pulled towards the steering wheel
again, the main beam headlights deactivate, the
dipped headlights reactivate and the

warning light

switches off.
It is not possible to switch on the main beam
headlights in fixed mode if the automatic lighting
control system is active.

FLASHING

You can flash the headlights by pulling the stalk
towards the wheel (unstable position). The

warning light will come on in the instrument

panel.

DIRECTION INDICATORS

Bring the stalk to the (stable) position:
upwards: right-hand direction indicator activation;
downwards: left-hand direction indicator activation.
The

warning light will flash on the

instrument panel.
Direction indicators are switched off automatically
when the steering wheel is straightened.

Lane change function

If you wish to signal a lane change, put the left stalk
in the unstable position for less than half a second.
The direction indicator on the side selected will
be activated for 5 flashes and then go out
automatically.

“Cornering lights”

When the dipped headlamps are on and the speed is
below 40 km/h, if the steering wheel rotation angle
is large or the direction indicators are on, a light
(incorporated in the fog light) will switch on on the
relevant side to improve visibility at nighttime.
