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

battery (entering energy-saving mode).
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
The lamps light up automatically when the
engine starts.


They provide the following functions:
– Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk
at position " 0" or "AUTO" with adequate light
level).
–

Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position
"

AUTO" with low light levels or "Sidelamps only"
or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
Automatic illumination of headlamps
When the ring is at the “AUTO" position and
a low level of ambient light is detected by the
rain/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 may 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.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lighting
comes on and this warning lamp is displayed in
the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the

Lighting and visibility
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Automatic headlamp dipping
When the ring is in the "AUTO” position and the
function is activated on the touch screen, this
system automatically switches between dipped
and main beam headlamps depending on light
and traffic conditions, using a camera located at
the top of the windscreen.


This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
The system becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam head lamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
come on on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headla mps
come on automatically. These
indicator lamps come on on the instrument
panel.
The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are
switched on or the system detects dense fog.
When the fog lamps are switched off or the
vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function
is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►

A
"headlamp flash" pauses the function:
•

if the "AUT
O" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam,
•

if the "AUT
O" and "Main beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
– under conditions of poor visibility (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),
– if the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
– road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
– vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
– vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.

Starting with the key
The parking brake must be applied.
► With a manual gearbox in neutral, fully
depress the clutch pedal.
► With an automatic gearbox in mode P or N,
fully depress the brake pedal.
► Insert the key into the ignition switch.
– The system recognises the starting code.
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In some cases, you may have to apply
some force to turn the wheels (if the
wheels are turned against a kerb, for
example).
► With a petrol engine, operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position 3 without
pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine
starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the
key.
► With a Diesel engine, turn the key to position
2, ignition on, to operate the engine preheating
system.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in
the instrument panel, then turn the key to
position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal,
to operate the starter motor until the engine
starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the
key.
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►

Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a
special code. When the ignition is switched on,
this code must be recognised in order for starting
to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes after
the ignition is switched off, and prevents the
engine being started by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message in the screen.In
this case, your vehicle will not start; contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you
when you purchased your vehicle.

Practical information
Towing device
Load distribution
► 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.
The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and their
wiring harnesses approved by
PEUGEOT. We recommend having them
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball weight) also includes
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,
tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
GTi towing
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
tow-bar.
