vehicle with the automatic switching
on of the lights function activated , the
side lights and dipped headlamps remain
on for the selected duration.
To deactivate or activate this
function, go to the display
coniguration menu.
The duration of the timed period must
also be set (15, 30, 60 seconds), via
the display coniguration menu.
Carry out these operations when the
vehicle is stationary.

In foggy weather or in snow,
the brightness sensor can
detect suficient light. As a
consequence, the lights will not come
on automatically.
Automatic switching on of the
lights
If your vehicle is itted
with a brightness
sensor, the side lights
and dipped beam
headlamps switch on
automatically if the light is poor, or
during operation of the windscreen
wipers. They switch off as soon as the
light becomes bright enough or the
windscreen wipers stop. This function
is not compatible with the daytime
lights. Deactivation
Turn the ring forwards or rearwards.
The deactivation of this function is
accompanied by a message on the
display.
The function is deactivated temporarily
when you use the manual lights stalk.
If the brightness sensor does not
function correctly
, the lights come on
accompanied by the service warning
light, an audible signal and a message
on the display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not cover the brightness
sensor located in the centre of the
fascia. It is used for the automatic
switching on of the lights and for the
automatic wipers.
Activation
Turn the ring to the AUTO position.
The activation of this function is
accompanied by a message on the
display.
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF
THE XENON HEADLAMPS
On vehicles which are itted with xenon
headlamps, this system automatically
corrects the height of the light beam,
regardless of the load in the vehicle.
The driver is then guaranteed optimum
lighting without dazzling other road
users.
Cancelling: 4
"lash" the headlamps,
4 get out of the vehicle and lock it.

Towing a trailer
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature. Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer
irst for further information.
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting and
not causing a nuisance to other road
users.
In certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power.
In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing speed to be signiicantly
increased (approximately 12 mph
[20 km/h] more). Sequential control
of the gearbox may also become
unavailable. Lighting
Bicycle carrier If you it a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display’s
coniguration menu.
Refer to the "Identiication
features" section of chapter 9. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 8.
If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure. Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
Towing equipment must be itted in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
the electrical connection. As this itting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
itting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
with itting a towbar or other electrical
accessory which is not recommended
by the PEUGEOT network. Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure of
your vehicle’s electronic system. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
