between dipped and main beam headlamps.
In "AUTO" and sidelamps mode, pull the lighting
control stalk to switch the main beam headlamps
on directly ("headlamp flash").
Display
Illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp on the instrument panel confirms that the
selected lighting is on.
A fault with a lamp is signalled by the permanent illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
Rear foglamps
They only work if the dipped or main beam headlamps are on.


â–º Rotate the ring forwards/backwards to turn
them on/off.
When the lighting is switched off automatically
("AUTO" position) the foglamps and the dipped
beam headlamps remain on.
Switching on the foglamps is prohibited
in clear weather or in rain, both day and
night. In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers. They must
only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may
vary depending on country).
Do not forget to switch off the foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off

ring to the "AUTO" position, then to the
desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Lighting and visibility
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!


Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with manual
headlamp beam height adjustment:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road, the
dipped beam headlamps must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
These LED lamps at the front of the vehicle light
up automatically when the engine starts.
They perform the following functions:
–

Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk
at position

"AUTO" with adequate ambient light).
–

Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position
"

AUTO" with low ambient light or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
In daytime running lamps mode, the
diodes are brighter.
Direction indicators

â–º Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.

more than 20 seconds, the volume of the
audible signal will increase if the speed is
above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes

going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
The brightness of the daytime running lamps is reduced when the direction indicators are on.

ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
upwards or downwards, depending on the side
of the traffic (e.g.

headlamp adjustment
This system automatically adjusts the height of
the headlamp beams according to the load in the
vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
The system places the headlamp beams in the
lowest position.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not touch the Peugeot Matrix LED
Technology 2.0 headlamps - risk of
electrocution!
Automatic illumination of lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “ AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps
come on and this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

Automatic lighting systems - General
recommendations
The automatic lighting systems use a detection
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
–

When visibility conditions are poor
(e.g.

snowfall, heavy rain).
–

If the windscreen is dirty
, misted-up or
masked (e.g.
sticker) in front of the camera.
–

If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
The system is not able to detect:
–


Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–


V

ehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).
–

V

ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Maintenance
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the camera.
Automatic headlamp dipping
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations for
automatic lighting systems.
With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the
"AUTO" position and the function activated on
the touch screen, this system automatically
switches between dipped and main beam
headlamps, according to lighting and traffic
conditions, using a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
