AUTOMATIC SWITCHING ON OF LIGHTS Side lights and dipped beam head- lamps switch on automatically if the
light is poor.
They switch off when the light becomes bright enough. Note: In foggy weather or in snow
the brightness sensor can detect
sufficient light. As a result, the lights
will not come on automatically. This function is active when the
vehicle is supplied to the customer.
To disarm or activate the function:
- Start with the key in the accesso-
ries position (1st notch),
- Press the end of the lights stalk for more than four seconds.
Note: after the ignition is switched
off and depending on the brightness, the lights remain on for about 45seconds or until the vehicle is loc-ked.
Note: the brightness sensor, cou-
pled with the rain sensor, is loca-ted in the centre of the wind-
screen, behind the interior mirror.It is used for automatic switchingon of the lights. Operating check Activation Acivation of this function is accom- panied by an audible signal and themessage
"Automatic lighting acti-
ve" on the multi-function display.
Disarming Disarming of the function is accom- panied by an audible signal. Note: the function is temporarily
disarmed when the driver uses the manual lighting controls. If the brightness sensor does not function correctly , the system acti-
vates the function (the lights come
on). The driver is alerted by anaudible signal, accompanied by themessage "Automatic switching on
of lights faulty" on the multi-func-
tion display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the system checked.

displayed:
Display B
- the range,
- the distance travelled,
- the average consumption,
- the current consumption,
- the average speed. Zero reset Press the stalk for more than two seconds. Display C
- the current consumption and the range,
- the average consumption, the distance travelled and the
average speed calculated over a period "1",
- the average consumption, the distance travelled and the average speed calculated over a period "2".
Periods "1"and "2"are defined by the frequency of the
zero reset. They allow, for instance, daily calculations over period "1"and monthly calculations over period "2".
Zero reset When the required period is displayed, press the stalk for more than two seconds.

Range The display shows the distance that can still be covered with the fuelremaining in the tank. Note: this figure may rise if there is
a change in driving style or road sur- face, causing a significant drop incurrent fuel consumption. If there are less than 3 litres of fuel in the tank, only three segments willbe displayed.
Current fuel consumption This gives the fuel consumption recorded during the last two
seconds. This function is only dis-played when the vehicle is travellingat more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Average consumption This is the ratio between the amount of fuel consumed and the distancetravelled since the computer waslast reset to zero.
Average speed This is obtained by dividing the dis- tance travelled by the period of timethe vehicle has been in use (with theignition on), since the computer waslast reset to zero. Distance travelled This shows the distance travelled since the computer was last reset tozero. After the trip computer has been reset to zero, the range databecomes meaningful only after thevehicle has been in use for a certainperiod. If horizontal segments are displayed instead of figures when driving,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Manual interior mirror The interior mirror has two positions:
Ð day (normal),
Ð night (anti-dazzle).
To change from one to the other, push or pull the lever on the lower
edge of the mirror. Manual exterior mirrors Move the lever in all four directions to adjust. When the vehicle is parked, the exterior mirrors can be folded back
manually.

to select the corresponding mirror. Move knob 1in all four directions to
adjust. Electric folding mirrors With the ignition on, turn knob 1to
position A.
The exterior mirror on the driver's side is convex (outer edge defined by a dotted line) in order to eliminate the 'blind spot'. As a result, objects observed in the driver's and passenger's mirrors
are in reality closer than they appear.
This must be taken into account to correctly judge the distance of vehiclesapproaching from behind.
