Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off instantly, except when
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 "AUTO", then to the desired
position.
On opening the driver's door, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.
It switches off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the state of charge
in battery (entering energy economy mode).
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.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of "Full LED" headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury. 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 oncoming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
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 " AUTO" with adequate light
level).
-

S
idelamps (lighting control stalk at " AUTO"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps
only” or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as
daytime running lamps.
Direction indicators
F Left: lower the lighting control stalk passing the point of resistance.
F

R
ight: raise the lighting control stalk passing
the point of resistance.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than twenty seconds,
the volume of the audible signal will
increase if the speed is above 37 mph
(60


km/h).
Three flashes
F Press briefly upwards or downwards, without going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.

Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face 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
conceal the detection camera.
Static cornering lighting
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated and
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
Switching on
This system operates from a certain angle of
rotation of the steering wheel.
Switching off
The system does not operate:
- b elow a certain angle of rotation of the
steering wheel,
-

a
bove 56 mph (90 km/h),
-
w

hen reverse gear is engaged.
Night Vision
Using an infrared camera at the front of the
vehicle, the system identifies and signals the
presence of pedestrians and animals in the
driver’s field of vision, in low exterior light
conditions.
For the permanent display of the image from
the infrared camera in the instrument panel,
select the "Night Vision" display mode by
turning the knob located to the left of the
steering wheel. Once the conditions are met,
an alert is triggered when there is a risk of
collision. Night Vision is a driving aid system that
cannot, under any circumstances, replace
the personal assessment of night-time
visibility and traffic conditions.
In some conditions, the contrasts in
temperature are insufficient and the
system may not detect all dangers or,
conversely, it may give false warnings
(e.g. engines of lorries parked on the edge
of the road).
Conditions for operation
With the dipped or main beam headlamps on,
this function allows headlamps to illuminate
the inside of a bend using light-emitting diodes
(LEDs).
The speed of the vehicle must be less than 56
mph (90 km/h).
This function is only available with the "Full
LED" technology headlamps. If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a
temporary window displayed in the instrument
panel.
The function is available with the engine
running and in STOP mode of Stop & Start.
The light conditions must be very poor. The
dipped beam headlamps must be switched on
and maintained in good working order.
The temperature detection range is between
-30°C and +30°C.
The speed of the vehicle must be less than
99
mph (160 km/h).
The camera detection range is between 15
m
(for pedestrians) and 200
m, depending on
visibility conditions.

Recommendations on care
The infrared camera has a wash nozzle
connected to the vehicle’s front screenwash
system.
This nozzle operates every 5th use of the
screenwash.
Regularly check that the camera is clean.
In bad weather, or in wintry conditions, ensure
that the camera is not covered with mud, ice
or snow.
Malfunction
An orange warning lamp coming on
whilst all the operating conditions
have been met, accompanied by
a message, indicates a system
malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Wiper control stalk
Programming
You can activate automatic wiping for the front
wipers.
On the SW, you can also configure rear wiping
on engaging reverse gear. In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and the
windscreen seal, before operating the
wipers.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades
are not stuck to the windscreen before
operating the wipers.
Windscreen wipers
After switching off the ignition, a slight
movement of the windscreen wipers being
stored under the bonnet may occur.
Each time the ignition has been switched
off for more than a minute, regardless of
the previous wiper control stalk position,
it is necessary to reactivate the wiping by
operating the control.

instrument panel (except for "Normal" mode). ECO, Comfor t, Normal, Spor t, Manual.
Pressing the control displays the modes in the
instrument panel.
Gear shift indicator
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear efficiency recommendations are for
information only. In fact, the road layout, the
traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued
by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode. The information appears in the
instrument panel in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
a recommended gear.
The system adapts its gear efficiency
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver’s requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition with
the key or the " START/STOP" button.
