In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Therefore, the lighting will not
come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, coupled with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the
windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.

Coupling with the "Guide-me-home"
lighting
Association with the automatic illumination of
headlamps provides the "guide-me-home"
lighting with the following additional options:


- selection of the lighting duration to 15, 30
or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters
in the multifunction screen confi guration
menu,

- automatic activation of "guide-me-home"
lighting when automatic illumination of
headlamps is in operation.











Automatic illumination
of headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps are switched on automatically,
without any action on the part of the
driver, when a low level of external light
is detected (sensor behind the rear view
mirror) or when the windscreen wipers
are switched on.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lighting is
switched off automatically.

"Guide-me-home" lighting

The dipped headlamps remain on tem-
porarily, after switching off the vehicle's
ignition, to make the driver's exit easier
in poor light.

Activation


)
With the ignition off, activate a
"headlamp fl ash" using stalk B
.

)
A second "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off again.


Switching off
The "guide-me-home" lighting is switched
off automatically following the door lock-
ing command, after a given time.

Activation


)
Turn ring A
to the " AUTO
" position. The
automatic illumination of headlamps
is accompanied by a message in the
multifunction screen.

Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of
the brightness sensor, the light-
ing comes on accompanied by
the service warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message on the
multifunction screen.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.


Daytime running lamps *

On vehicles fi tted with daytime running
lamps, the dipped headlamps come on
when the vehicle is started.
This indicator lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls (multi-
function screen, air conditioning control
panel, ...) are not lit, unless the auto-
matic lighting mode is activated or the
lighting is switched on manually.

Deactivation


)

Special position of the windscreen
wipers











Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate auto-
matically, without any action on the part
of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor
behind the rear view mirror), adapting
their speed to the intensity of the rain-
fall.

Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver
by pushing the stalk A
to the "AUTO"

position.
It is accompanied by a message in the
multifunction screen. In the minute following switching off of
the ignition, any action on the stalk po-
sitions the wipers vertically on the wind-
screen.

This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking.
To park the wipers a
fter this has been
done, switch on the ignition and operate
the stalk.
Do not cover the rain sensor, cou-
pled with the sunshine sensor and
located in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the rear view mirror.
Switch off the ignition when using
an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait
until the windscreen is completely
clear of ice before activating the
automatic rain sensitive wipers.
The automatic rain sensitive wipers
must be reactivated if the ignition has
been off for more than one minute,
by pushing the stalk A
downwards.

Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving the stalk A
to another posi-
tion and returning it to position "0"
.
It is accompanied by a message in the
multifunction screen.
Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction oc-
curs, the wipers will operate in intermit-
tent mode.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

SAFETY
104

The ESP/ASR systems offer ex-
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
driver to take extra risks or drive at
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations on:


- wheels (tyres and rims),

- braking system components,

- electronic components,

- assembly and repair proce-
dures.
After an impact, have these sys-
tems checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.


Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground, ...), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASR and ESP
systems, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.

)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button, locat-
ed in the centre of the dashboard.

If this warning lamp comes on in the instru-
ment panel and the indicator lamp in the
button comes on, this indicates that the
ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.


Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automat-
ically each time the ignition is switched
back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).


)
Press the "ESP OFF"
button again
to reactivate them manually.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS


Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this warning lamp in the instru-
ment panel.



Steering/ESP coupling system
(SSP)

The anti-slip regulation (also known as
Traction Control) optimises traction to
prevent skidding of the wheels, by act-
ing on the brakes of the driving wheels
and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver, within
the limits of the laws of physics.
This system optimises the stability of
the vehicle and its braking capacity by
combining the actions of the ESP and
electric power steering when braking on
surfaces on which the grip of the right-
hand and left-hand wheel differs.
It permits increased braking of the
wheels which are in contact with the
section of road offering the higher level
of grip and, anticipating the instability of
the vehicle, the application of a slight
correction to the turning angle of the
wheels to assist the driver in maintain-
ing his trajectory.



Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message in the multi-
function screen, this indicates a
malfunction of these systems.
Have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

warning lamp on the instrument
panel
Fastening


)
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue
in the buckle.

)
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly by pulling the strap.


)
To lower the attachment point, squeeze
control A
and slide it downwards.

)
To raise the attachment point, slide
control A
upwards.


When the ignition is switched on,
this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel if the driver
has not fastened their seat belt.
Above approximately 12 mph (20 km/h)
and for two minutes, this warning lamp
fl ashes accompanied by an audible signal
of increasing volume. When the two minutes
have elapsed, this warning lamp remains on
until the driver fastens their seat belt.
This warning lamp comes on on the in-
strument panel if one or more passengers
unbuckle their seat belt.


Unfastening


)
Press the red button on the buckle.



Front seat belts

The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of front impacts. De-
pending on the severity of the impact,
the pretensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belts against the body of
the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the oc-
cupant, increasing his protection.
On the 5-door versions, a slider, fi tted
on the seat belt, makes it possible to
support the buckle as close as possible
to the upper mounting.
