DS 3: DS MATRIX LED VISION / Operation. Activation/Deactivation, Pause.

Operation

Using a camera, the system detects the driving conditions (brightess, lights from oncoming or followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the beams of the main 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

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.

Oncoming vehicle

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.

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

• Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the "AUTO" position.

This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel.

The function can be activated and deactivated in the Driving / Vehicle touch screen menu.

When deactivated, the lighting system changes to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode.

The status of the system remains in the memory when the ignition is switched off.

Pause

If the situation requires a change of headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any time.

• Switch the dipped/main beam headlamps manually to pause the function.

The lighting system changes to "Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.

• To reactivate the function, manually switch the dipped/main beam headlamps again.
