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.

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.

Animals less than 0.50 m tall are not detected.
T he instrument panel must be in "Night Vision"
display mode for the infrared camera image to
be displayed constantly.
The constant display disappears upon
switching off the ignition or if the conditions are
not met.
Operation
Activation/deactivation of the function
is done in the Driving/Vehicle menu
of the touch screen.
If all the operating conditions are
met, this indicator lamp comes on in
green: the display in the instrument
panel (with "Night Vision" mode
selected) and triggering of alerts are
available.
If certain operating conditions (speed
or temperature) are not met, the
indicator lamp comes on in orange:
only the display in the instrument
panel is available (in "Night Vision"
m o d e).
Whilst the exterior light is too bright
or the dipped beam headlamps have
not been switched on, the alerts are
not available. The image provided by the camera is displayed
in shades of grey in the instrument panel; warm
objects appear brighter than cold objects.
Once pedestrians or animals are detected, they
appear in yellow frames.
Once the system detects a risk
of collision with pedestrians or
animals, it triggers an alert: one of
these symbols is displayed in the
instrument panel. The respective
silhouette is framed in red. If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a
temporary window.
In the event of an alert, the driver may act by
making an avoiding manoeuvre or by braking.
