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.

- 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.

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.

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.

FRONT AIR BAGS These are folded in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,except in cases where the air bag isdisarmed. Front air bag malfunction If this warning light comes on, accompanied by a buzzer and themessage "Air bag fault" on the
multi-function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-tem checked.
AIR BAGS The air bags have been designed to maximise the safety of the occu-pants in the event of serious colli-sions; they work in conjunction withthe force limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the electronic detectors record andanalyse any abrupt deceleration ofthe vehicle: if the triggering thre-shold is reached, the air bags inflateinstantly and protect the occupantsof the vehicle. Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they donot hinder the visibility of the occu-pants nor their possible exit from thevehicle. The air bags will not be deployed in collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. Theseriousness of the collision dependson the nature of the obstacle and thespeed of the vehicle at the momentof impact. Air bags only operate when the ignition is switched on. Note:
the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant. Disarming the passenger air bag*
To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to disarm the passen-ger air bag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front pas-senger seat. 
With the ignition switched off, insert the key into the passengerair bag disarming switch 1, turn it
to the "OFF" position, then remo-
ve the key keeping the slot in thisposition.
The air bag warning light onthe instrument panel is litthroughout the disarmingprocess.
