- selection of the lighting duration of 15, 30
or 60 seconds,
- automatic activation o
f guide-me-home lighting when the automatic illumination of
headlamps is in operation.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the sunshine sensor, the lighting comes on, this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel and/or
a message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor maydetect sufficient light. In this case, the lighting will not come on automatically. Do not cover the sunshine sensor,coupled with the rain sensor and located in the centre of the windscreenbehind the rear view mirror; theassociated functions would no longer be controlled.
Programming
Selection of the duration of theguide-me-home lighting is done
in the configuration menu vehicle
parameters, in the instrument panel screen.

Adaptive lighting
Switching on
The driver can take over at any time, if thecircumstances dictate:
System which automatically changes betweendipped and main beam according to the driving conditions, using a sensor in the rear view mirror.
The system is active from 15 mph (25 km/h) and is deactivated below 9 mph (15 km / h).
)put the lighting control stalk on the "AUTO"
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps"
position,

Switching off
)
or by dipping the headlamps manually using the lighting control stalk, whether
in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam
headlamps" position.

Flashing the headlamps does notdeactivate the system.The state of the system is stored in memory when switching off the ignition. This automatic headlamp dipping system is a driving aid. The driver remains responsible for the vehicle'slighting and its correct use for theprevailing conditions of light, visibility and traffic.


The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:


- under conditions of poor visibility(for example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick fog, ...),

- if the windscreen is dir ty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the sensor,

- if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.


The system is not able to detect:


- road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,

- road users whose lighting isobscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on amotorway, for example),

- road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, oncrossroads.

rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of
the rainfall.

Switching on

Briefly push the control stalkdownwards.
This warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and a message is
displayed.Brie
fly push the control stalk
downwards again, or place thecontrol stalk in another position (Int,
1 or 2).

Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. Switch off the automatic rain sensitivewipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until thewindscreen is completely clear of ice before activating the automatic rain sensitive wipers.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Special position of the
w
indscreen wipers
This position permits release of the windscreen
wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement of the blades. It can also be useful, in winter, todetach the blades from the windscreen.


To maintain the effectiveness of the "flat-blade" type of wiper blades, it is advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using soapywater,

- avoid using them to retain cardboard on the windscreen,

- replace them at the first signs of wear.


)
Any action on the wiper stalk in the minute
after switching off the ignition places the blades vertically on the screen.) To park the blades again, switch on theignition and operate the wiper stalk.

Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection

Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.


All repairs and changing of tyres on awheel fitted with this system must becarried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install awheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.


The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimumdynamic performance of the vehicleis maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduousdriving conditions (heavy load, highspeed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary interference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to that used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panelscreen, accompanied by an audible signal, to
identify the wheel concerned.

Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and
the STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen identifying the wheel concerned. )
Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and thebrakes.) Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.

Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
)Check the tyre pressures as soon aspossible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Practical information
Putting the wheel back in place
) Put the box back in place in the centre of
the wheel and clip it.) Put the polystyrene storage box back in
place.
)Put the wheel back in its housing. )Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a few
turns then put it in place in the centre of the
wheel. )Tighten fully until the central bolt clicks toretain the wheel correctly.
Tyre under-infl ation detection

The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor. The punctured wheel must berepaired by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
excee
ding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducingengine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the
gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.


Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.


The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
R
efer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
