Lighting control stalk
Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road,
the headlamp dipped beams must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming
drivers. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Selection of main lighting
mode
Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.Lighting off (ignition off) / Front

Sidelamps only.
Dipped or main beam headlamps.
Automatic illumination of headlamps.
Dipping the headlamps
Pull the lever to switch the lighting between
dipped and main beam headlamps.
In the lighting off and sidelamps modes, the
driver can switch on the main beam headlamps
temporarily ("headlamp flash") by keeping the
lever pulled.
Display
Illumination of the corresponding indicator

urn the ring rear wards to switch off the
foglamps, the sidelamps will then switch off. In good or rainy weather, both day and
night, using the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp is prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn off the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp as soon as they are
no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lighting turns off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, set the
ring to 0 – lamps off, then to the desired
position.
When the driver's door is opened, a
temporary audible signal warns you that
the vehicle's lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the
sidelamps, switch off automatically after
a maximum duration of 30
minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.

Three flashes
Move the stalk briefly upwards or downwards,
without going beyond the point of resistance;
the corresponding direction indicators will flash
three times.This function can be used at any speed,
but it is particularly useful for changing
lane on fast roads.
Automatic illumination of
headlampsIf you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 40
mph (60 km/h).When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver. They can 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.
Switching on
F Turn the ring to the AUTO
position.
Activation of the function is accompanied by
a message in the screen.
Switching off
F Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation of the function is accompanied
by a message in the screen.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, linked
with the rain sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.
Automatic guide-me-home
lighting
Association with automatic illumination of
headlamps provides the guide-me-home
lighting with the following additional options:
-

s
election of the lighting duration of 15, 30 or
60


seconds,
-

a
utomatic activation of guide-me-home
lighting when the automatic illumination of
headlamps is in operation.

Headlamp adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
users, the height of the headlamp beams
should be adjusted according to the load in the
vehicle.
0.1 or 2 people in the front seats.
-. Intermediate setting.
1. 5 people.
-. 5 people + maximum authorised load.
2. Driver + maximum authorised load.
The initial setting is position 0 .
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
In daytime running lamps, the diodes are
b r i g h t e r.
The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
-

D
aytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk at position " 0" or " AUTO " with
adequate light level).
-

S
idelamps (lighting control stalk in "
AUTO"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps
only" or "dipped/main beam headlamps").
Cornering lighting
With dipped or main beams, this system
makes use of the beam from a front foglamp
to illuminate the inside of a bend, when the
vehicle speed is below 25


mph (approximately
40
km/h) (urban driving, winding road,
intersections, parking manoeuvres, etc.).

F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 600
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used. If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2
minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.

Active City Brake
A preventive driving assistance system
that, using a sensor located at the top of the
windscreen, automatically applies the vehicle's
brakes if driving behind a vehicle that is slowing
down rapidly, stopping or is stationary.
The objective is to avoid a collision or reduce
the speed of impact.
This system has been designed to improve
driving safety.
It remains the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the traffic and
to assess the distances and relative speeds of
other vehicles.Active City Brake cannot in any
circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. When your vehicle is too close to or
approaches the vehicle ahead too quickly, the
system automatically applies the brakes to
avoid a collision.
If operation is triggered:
-

D
isplay of a message.
- I llumination of the brake lamps.
The automatic braking is triggered as a last
resort, if the driver fails to apply the brakes
sufficiently firmly or at all, or to take avoiding
action.
The laser beam is invisible. Never look at
the laser sensor with an optical instrument
(magnifying glass, microscope, etc.): risk
of eye injury. Conditions for operation:
-

V
ehicles driving in the same lane.
-
N

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
