Operation
When you have identified a parking space:  Engage a gear on a manual gearbox or put the gear lever in position A (electronic gear control gearbox) or in position D (automatic gearbox).  Press button A to start the system.  Operate the direction indicator on the side where the space is to be measured; a message is displayed and the warning lamp flashes to confirm that measurement is in progress.  During measurement, go for ward the length of the space, at a speed less than 12 mph (20 km/h), to prepare for your manoeuvre.  Once the measurement has been completed, the system informs you of the level of difficulty of the manoeuvre by a message in the multifunction screen accompanied by an audible signal.
The system displays one of the following messages:
Parking possible
Parking difficult
Parking not advised
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the parking space is too great, the system may not be able to measure the space.
The system remains available after each measurement and can therefore measure several spaces in succession.
In poor or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are free of dirt, ice or snow. The parking space sensor system deactivates the front parking sensors when measuring forwards. If there is a fault, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The system switches itself off automatically: - when you engage reverse gear, - when you switch off the ignition, - if measuring is not requested, - within five minutes of switching on the system, - if the vehicle speed exceeds the threshold of 45 mph (70 km/h) for one minute.

In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps and the rear foglamps 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 headlamps manually as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light. Do not forget to switch off the front foglamps and the rear foglamps when they are no longer needed.

Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle’s exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode. In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal. With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
Daytime lighting, compulsory in certain countries, which comes on automatically when the engine is started making the vehicle more visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps
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. - for other countries where it is provided, by the use of dedicated lamps.
This function can be activated or deactivated via the vehicle configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switch off the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.

Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of the sidelamps on the traffic side only.  Within one minute of switching off the ignition, operate the lighting control stalk up or down depending on the traffic side (for example: when parking on the left;
lighting control stalk upwards; the right hand sidelamps are on). This is confirmed by an audible signal and illumination of the corresponding direction indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel. To switch off the parking lamps, return the lighting control stalk to the middle position or switch on the ignition.
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam headlamps on after the ignition has been switched off makes the driver’s exit easier when the light is poor.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Switching on
 Within 30 seconds or a minute after switching of the ignition (according to the automatic guide-me-home lighting duration programmed in the configuration menu), "flash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk.  A further "headlamp flash" switches the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after about 30 seconds.

Visibility
The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps 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 activation of the windscreen wipers. As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
Activation
Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position. The automatic illumination of headlamps is accompanied by a message in the instrument panel screen.
Deactivation
 Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation is accompanied by a message
in the instrument panel screen.
Association with automatic guide-me-home lighting
Association with automatic illumination of headlamps provides the guide-me-home lighting with the following additional options: - selection of the lighting duration of 15, 30 or 60 seconds, - automatic activation of guide-me-home lighting when the automatic illumination of headlamps is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the sunshine sensor, the lighting comes on, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient 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 windscreen behind the rear view mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.
Programming
Selection of the duration of the guide-me-home lighting is done in the configuration menu vehicle parameters, in the instrument panel screen.

Adaptive lighting
Switching on
The driver can take over at any time, if the circumstances dictate:
System which automatically changes between dipped and main beam according to the driving conditions, using a sensor in the rear view m i r r o r. The system is active from 15 mph (25 km/h) and is deactivated below 9 mph (15 km/h).
 put the lighting control stalk on the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps" position,
Switching off
 or by dipping the headlamps manually using the lighting control stalk, whether in the "AUTO" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps" position.
Flashing the headlamps does not deactivate the system. The state of the system is stored in memory when switching off the ignition. This automatic headlamp dipping system is a driving aid. The driver remains responsible for the vehicle’s
lighting and its correct use for the prevailing conditions of light, visibility and traffic.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly: - under conditions of poor visibility (for example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick fog, ...), - if the windscreen is dirty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of the sensor, - if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect: - road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians, - road users whose lighting is obscured, such as vehicles running behind a safety barrier (on a motor way, for example), - road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, on crossroads.
