Manual guide-me-home lighting

Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is
poor.

Switching on


)
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.

)
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.


Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set
time.








Daytime running lamps

Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain
countries, which comes on automati-
cally when the engine is started making
the vehicle more visible to other users. In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.


The instruments and controls (instrument
panel, multifunction screen, air condition-
ing control panel, ...) are not illuminated,
except in night mode with manual or au-
tomatic illumination of headlamps.











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 or in certain cases of activa-
tion of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.

Activation


)
Turn ring A
to the "AUTO"
position.
The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a message
on the multifunction screen.


Deactivation


)
Turn ring A
to a position other
than "AUTO"
. Deactivation is
accompanied by a message on the
multifunction screen.

This function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations,
by illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps with the sidelamps and
number plate lamps; this function
cannot be deactivated.

- for other countries where it is
provided,
by the use of dedicated lamps; this
function can be activated or deacti-
vated via the vehicle confi guration
menu.

selected via the multifunc-
tion screen confi guration
menu.
The duration of the welcome light-
ing is associated with and identical
to that of the automatic guide-me-
home lighting.
In fog or snow, the brightness
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Therefore, the lighting will not come
on automatically.
Do not cover the brightness sensor,
coupled with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the rear view mirror;
the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.

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


- selection of the lighting duration to
15, 30 or 60 seconds in the vehicle
parameters on the multifunction
screen confi guration menu (except
in the case of the monochrome
screen A, for which the duration is
set: 60 seconds),

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

DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING
When the dipped or main beam head-
lamps are on, this function enables the
light beams to provide improved lighting
of the side of the road when cornering.
The use of this function, from approxi-
mately 12 mph (20 km/h) and associ-
ated with the xenon headlamps only,
considerably improves the quality of
your lighting when cornering.

lation to the load in the vehicle.
If a malfunction occurs, this
warning lamp and/or the ser-
vice warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a

CHECKS
CHECKING LEVELS
Check all of these levels regularly and
top them up if necessary, unless other-
wise indicated.
If a level drops signifi cantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Brake fluid level
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.

Oil level

The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when the igni-
tion is switched on using the oil level indicator
on the instrument panel, or using the dipstick.
The brake fl uid level should be
close to the "MAX" mark. If it is
not, check the brake pad wear.

Changing the fl uid
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.


Power steering fluid level

The power steering fl uid level
should be close to the "MAX"
mark. Unscrew the cap, with the
engine cold, to check the level.

Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
In the case of vehicles fi tted
with headlamp washers, the
minimum level of this fl uid is
indicated by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
screen.
Top up the level when you stop the ve-
hicle.
Engine oil change
Refer to the Warranty and Maintenance
Record for details of the interval for this
operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the
engine and emission control system,
the use of additives in the engine oil is
prohibited.

Oil specifi cation
The oil must correspond to your engine
and conform to the manufacturer's rec-
ommendations.

Fluid specifi cation
The brake fl uid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and
fulfi l the DOT4 standards.

Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be
changed.

Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fl uid must not be topped
up with or replaced with water.



Coolant level

The coolant level should be
close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tempera-
ture of the coolant is regulated by the fan.
This can operate with the ignition off.

On vehicles which are fi tted with a
particle emission fi lter, the fan may
operate after the vehicle has been
switched off, even if the engine is
cold.

Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the manu-
facturer's recommendations.

When working under the bonnet,
take care, as certain areas of the
engine may be extremely hot (risk
of burns).

The headlamps are fi tted with poly-
carbonate glass with a protective
coating:


)
do not clean them using a dry
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,


)
use a sponge and soapy water,

)
when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks,
do not direct at the lamps or
their outlines for too long, so as
not to damage their protective
coating and seals.



)
Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use lint-free
cloths.
Changing a halogen bulb should
only be done after the headlamp
has been switched off for a few min-
utes (risk of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-ul-
traviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
