Pathway lighting:
When you activate the headlamp

flasher after parking the vehicle and
switching off the lamps, the low beams
will come on for a brief period. You may
also have this function deactivated if
you wish.

Lights on warning

Whenever you open the driver's door,
after having turned the ignition key to
position 0, you will hear an acoustic
signal for a few seconds to remind you
that the lamps have not been switched
off.

On vehicles with alphanumeric Check
Control

The reminder is given through the
Check Control.

Daytime driving lamps

The daytime driving lamps are automat-
ically switched on at ignition key posi-
tion 2.

Automatic headlamp control

When you set the switch to this
position, the system activates
and switches on and off the low

beams in response to changes in ambi-
ent light conditions, for instance, in tun-
nels, at dawn and dusk, and in rain and
snow.

The low beams remain switched
on regardless of the ambient light

when you switch on the front fog
lamps.

Automatic headlamp control can-
not serve as a substitute for the

driver's judgment in determining when
the vehicle lamps should be switched
on. For example, the system cannot
detect fog. To avoid safety risks, you
should always switch on the lamps
manually under these conditions.

You can have the sensitivity of the
headlamp control system adjusted

on your vehicle.
