Switching on the lighting
after switching off the
ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk,
turn the ring A to position "0" - lighting
off, then to the position of your choice.
When the driver's door is opened, a
temporary audible signal warns you that
the vehicle's lighting is on.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state of
charge of the battery (entry to energy
economy mode).
Daytime running lamps /
Sidelamps
The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in these
lamps, front and rear, come on automatically
when the engine is started.
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 at
position


"AUTO " with a low ambient light
level or "Sidelamps only" or "Main or
dipped beam headlamps").
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.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for the
dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.

Headlamp beam height adjustment
Automatic adjustment of
"Full LED" technology
headlamps
This system automatically adjusts the height
of the beams from this type of headlamp,
according to the load in the vehicle, to avoid
causing a nuisance to other road users.Do not touch the "Full LED" technology
headlamps. Risk of electrocution!
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The initial setting is position "0" .
Manual adjustment of
halogen headlamps
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
users, the beams of the halogen headlamps
should be adjusted according to the load in the
vehicle.

Automatic guide-me-home
lighting
With the "Automatic illumination of headlamps"
function activated, under low ambient light, the
sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps and door
mirror spotlamps come on automatically when
the ignition is switched off.
Activation, deactivation and the duration of the
guide-me-home lighting are set in the vehicle
parameters menu in the screen.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
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.
Activation
F Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position.
Activation of the function is accompanied by
the display of a message.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
sunshine sensor, the lighting comes
on, this warning lamp is displayed in
the instrument panel accompanied by
an audible signal and/or a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
coupled with the rain sensor and
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the rear view mirror;
the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
Deactivation
F Turn the ring to another position.
Deactivation of the function is accompanied by
the display of a message. In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. In this
case, the lighting will not come on
automatically.

Automatic headlamp dipping
This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility,
traffic and observation of driving and
vehicle regulations.
The system will be operational as soon as
you have exceeded 15 mph (25 km/h).
If the speed drops below 9 mph (15
km/h),
the system no longer operates.
System which automatically changes between dipped and main beam according to the ambient light level and the driving conditions, using a camera
located at the top of the windscreen.

Cornering lighting
Present on vehicles fitted with "Full LED"
technology headlamps, this system makes use
of the beam from a front foglamp to illuminate
the inside of a bend, when the main or dipped
beam headlamps are on and the vehicle speed
is below 25 mph (approximately 40 km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres...).With cornering lighting

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding


it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer to the
corresponding section. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
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.
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 towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted, verifying the follow points:
- t he towball is correctly engaged (position A ),
-

t
he safety lock is on and the key removed; the trigger can no longer be operated,
-

t
he towball must not be able to move in its carrier; test by shaking it with your hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer could separate - Risk of an accident!
During use
Never release the locking system with a trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer - the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
You must not exceed the maximum nose weight on the towbar: if exceeded, this could result
in detachment from the vehicle - Risk of an accident!
Check that the trailer lighting and signalling work correctly.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height , refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in the carrier. This measure applies particularly
where the towball might obscure visibility of the number plate or its lighting.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar system.
