switching off of the headlamps
Automatic illumination
When the lighting control stalk ring is in
the AUTO position, the sidelamps and
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically, without any action on the part of
the driver, when a low level of ambient light is
detected.
As soon as the level of light becomes sufficient
again, the lights are switched off automatically.
The sensor is located at the bottom of the
windscreen.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, as the
associated functions would no longer be
controlled.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. The headlamps may
not come on automatically.
Automatic switching off
When the lighting control stalk is in the "AUTO"
position, if the ignition key is in the "LOCK" or
"ACC" position or is removed, the headlamps
will automatically switch off when the driver's
door is opened .

users, the height of the halogen headlamp
beams must be adjusted according to the load
in the vehicle.

using control A and ring B .
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.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the steering wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver must only carry
out any operations that require close attention
when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied – Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the motor running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the motor running,
apply the parking brake and put the drive
selector into position N or P.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the motor or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 6 inches (15
cm), taking account
of waves that might be generated by other
users,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible. In all cases, do
not exceed 6
mph (10 km/h).
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
