Automatic main beam headlights

Depending on the vehicle, this system switches the main beam headlights on and off automatically.

It uses a camera located behind the interior rear view mirror to detect vehicles that are being followed and those coming in the opposite direction.

Note: at night, in urban areas with street lighting, the automatic main beam headlights automatically switch off.

The main beam headlights come on automatically if:

- exterior light is weak;

- no other vehicles or lighting are detected;

- the vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled, the system switches to dipped beam headlights.

Note: make sure the windscreen is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation, etc.).

Consult an approved dealer.

The system may encounter difficulties under certain conditions, including:

- extreme weather conditions (rain, snow, fog, etc.);

- obstruction in front of the windscreen or camera;

- when a following or oncoming vehicle has weak or hidden lighting;

- incorrect settings for the front headlights;

- reflective systems;

- ...

Using the portable navigation system at night in the windscreen area below the camera may disturb the operation of the “automatic main beam headlights” system (risk of reflection on the windscreen).

The “automatic main beam headlights” system should under no circumstances be used to replace driver attention and responsibility with regard to vehicle lighting and adapting to light, visibility and traffic conditions.

Adaptive main beam headlights

Depending on the vehicle, the adaptive high beam headlights are divided into several independent vertical segments. This function makes use of a camera 7 located behind the interior rear view mirror to detect vehicles that are following and coming in the opposite direction.

Note: make sure the windscreen is not obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensation etc.).

When a vehicle is detected, the segments illuminating this area automatically switch off so as not to dazzle it.

Under certain conditions, the brightness of the adaptive main beam headlights will be modified to optimise lighting:

- when approaching reflective signs, the lighting power will be locally reduced in order to limit dazzling;

- when on a motorway, the beam will be reduced in order to minimise the annoyance to road users moving in the opposite direction.

Switching on

From the multimedia screen 8, in the “Vehicle” world, select the “Vehicle” menu, then “Outside” followed by “Driving lights”.

Activate or deactivate “Adaptive Vision”.

Please refer to the multimedia instructions for further information.

Adaptive main beam headlights (continued)

Special feature

The adaptive lighting of the main beam headlights adapts to the My Sense/ECO/Comfort/Sport) driving mode selected. The speed thresholds for activation and deactivation are different:

- In My Sense, ECO or Comfort mode, the adaptive main beam headlights will switch on if the vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and switch off when the speed is inferior to approximately 12 mph (20 km/h).

The strength of the main beam headlights adapts to the speed of the vehicle in these modes and between these thresholds.
