stalk.
Display
Illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp
in the instrument panel confirms that the lighting
selected is on.
Foglamps
In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the rear
foglamps are 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 headlamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect sufficient light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Rear foglamp
It only works if the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on.


► Rotate the ring forwards/backwards to turn
it on/off.
When the lighting is switched off automatically
("
AUTO" position), the foglamp is switched off.
Front foglamps/Rear
foglamps
They operate with the sidelamps, dipped or main beam headlamps on.


► Rotate the ring forwards:
• once to switch on the front foglamps,
•

a second time to switch on the rear
foglamps.
►


Rotate
the ring backwards:
•

once to switch off the rear foglamps,
•


a second time to switch off the front
foglamps.
If the lighting is switched off automatically (with
AUT

O model) or the dipped beam headlamps
are switched off manually, the foglamps and
sidelamps remain on.
►

Rotate the ring backwards to switch the
foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch off.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of “Full LED” headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface 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
Halogen headlamps
If using your vehicle in a country that drives
on the other side of the road to the one in
which your vehicle was sold, the headlamps
must be adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming
drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
LED lamps
The design of the front LED headlamps
allows driving without modification in a
country that drives on the other side of the
road to the country in which your vehicle was
sold.
Switching off the lights when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the lights
turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam if automatic guide-me-home lighting is
activated.
