vehicle are designed to adapt the driv-
er's visibility progressively in relation to
the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see without dazzling other drivers,
-
main beam headlamps to see clearly
when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving condi-
tions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better for- ward vision,
- directional headlamps for improved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day.
Settings
Various automatic lighting control modes
are also available depending on options:
- daytime running lamps,
- automatic illumination of headlamps,
- directional lighting,
- guide-me-home lighting.

Press, turning ring C :
forwards once to switch on the front foglamps,
forwards again to switch on the rear foglamp,
rearwards once to switch off the rear foglamp,
rearwards again to switch off the front foglamps.
In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamp are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped beam head-
lamps manually as the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all
of the lamps turn off immediately,
except for dipped beam if guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
C. Foglamp selection ring.
The foglamps operate with the dipped
and main beam headlamps.
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.
Switching on the lamps after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, ro-
tate ring A to the "0" position - lamps
off, then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a tem-
porary audible signal warns the
driver that the lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of
the sidelamps, switch off automati-
cally after a maximum duration of
thirty minutes to prevent discharg-
ing of the battery.
When the lighting is switched off au-
tomatically (with AUTO model) or
when the dipped beam headlamps
are switched off manually, the front fo-
glamps and the sidelamps will remain
on.

Manual guide-me-home lighting
The temporary illumination of the
dipped beam headlamps after the ve-
hicle's ignition 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.
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 pro- vided,
by the use of dedicated light emit- ting diode (LED) lamps; this function
can be activated or deactivated via
the vehicle confi guration menu.
The lighting control stalk must be placed
in position "0" or "AUTO" (day mode).
Deactivation of the daytime running
lamps is effective after operating the
lighting control or after the next engine
start; activation is immediate.
The instruments and controls (instru-
ment panel, multifunction screen, air
conditioning control panel, ...) are not
illuminated, except in night mode with
manual or automatic illumination of
headlamps.
LED lamps
Where LED lamps are fi tted, the fi la-
ment bulbs for the daytime running
lamps/sidelamps in the front lamp units
are not used.
They come on when the engine is started.
Depending on the destination country,
they are used for:
- daytime running lamps * in day mode and sidelamps in night mode (they
are brighter when daytime running
lamps),
or
- sidelamps in day and night mode.
* function that can be set in the vehicle confi guration menu.

VISIBILITY
Automatic illumination of headlamps
When a low level of ambient light is de-
tected by a sunshine sensor, the num-
ber plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped
beam headlamps are switched on auto-
matically, without any action on the part
of the driver. They can also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation 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 the ring to the "AUTO" posi-
tion. The activation of the function
is accompanied by the display of a
message in the screen.
Deactivation
Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation of the function is ac-
companied by the display of a mes-
sage in the screen. In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light. In
this case, the lighting will not come
on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine 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.
Operating fault
Automatic "guide-me-home"
lighting
When the automatic illumination of
headlamps function is activated (light-
ing control stalk in the "
AUTO " posi-
tion), under low ambient light the dipped
beams headlamps come on automati-
cally when the ignition is switched off.
In the event of a malfunction of
the sunshine sensor, the lighting
comes on, this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Programming Activation or deactivation,
as well as the duration of
the guide-me-home light-
ing, is set in the vehicle
confi guration menu.
