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.
