desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.

Peugeot Matrix LED
Technology 2.0
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations for
automatic lighting systems.
Available only on versions equipped with Full
LED headlamps with Matrix Beam function.
This system automatically adapts the main
beam according to the driving conditions, so that
optimum illumination is maintained for the driver,
without causing a nuisance to other road users.

74
Lighting and visibility
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 is active from 25 mph
(40 km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph
(20

km/h).
Activation/Deactivation
► Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in
the “ AUTO” position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel.

to "Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
It is recommended that you deactivate
the function in foggy or snowy conditions
or in case of heavy mist.
The function temporarily is deactivated when
the system detects thick fog or when the
foglamps are switched on manually. This is
signalled by the indicator lamp going off on
the instrument panel.
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightness, lights from oncoming or
followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the
beams of the main headlamps accordingly.
The modules that make up the main beams
switch on and off gradually, segment by
segment, depending on the driving conditions
detected.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the
system.
If the system is selected but the display
on the instrument panel and the alerts are
not available, the indicator lamp comes on in
grey.
Followed vehicle

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only
those lamp segments directed at the followed
vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as
not to dazzle its driver.
Oncoming vehicle

When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
those lamp segments directed at this vehicle
go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the
duration of the approach.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (e.g. a
town), the lamp segments are gradually switched
off from the outside to the inside of the vehicle to
switch to the dipped beams.
Exiting an illuminated area
The lamp segments gradually light up from the
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the
main beams.
