AUTOMATIC "GUIDE-ME-HOME" LIGHTING Operating fault
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.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor 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 windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled. When the automatic illumination of headlamps function is activated
(lighting control stalk in the "
AUTO " position), under low ambient light
the dipped beams headlamps come on automatically when the ignition
is switched off.
Programming
Activation or deactivation, as well as the duration of the guide-me-home\

lighting, is set in the vehicle confi guration menu.

MANUAL ADJUSTMENT OF
HALOGEN HEADLAMPS
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF
XENON HEADLAMPS
To avoid dazzling other road users, the height of the halogen bulb
headlamps must be adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.
0. 1 or 2 people in the front seats.
-. 3 people.
1. 4 people.
-. Intermediate setting.
2. 4 people + maximum authorised loads.
-. Intermediate setting.
3. Driver + maximum authorised loads. In order to avoid causing a nuisance to other road users, this system
corrects the height of the xenon headlamp beams automatically and
when stationary, in relation to the load in the vehicle.
If a malfunction occurs, this warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
The system then places your headlamps in the lowest position.
Initial setting is position "0". Do not touch the xenon headlamp bulbs.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that drives on the other side of
the road, the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid dazzling on-
coming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING
When the dipped or main beam headlamps 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 approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) and
associated with the xenon headlamps only, considerably improves the
quality of your lighting when cornering. with directional lighting

PROGRAMMING
OPERATING FAULT
When stationary or moving at very low speed or when reverse
gear is engaged, the function is inactive.
The status of the function remains in the memory when the
ignition is switched off. If a fault occurs, this warning lamp fl ashes in the instrument

WINDSCREEN AND HEADLAMP WASH
 Pull the windscreen wiper stalk towards you. The windscreen wash then the windscreen wipers operate for a fi xed period.
The headlamp washers only operate when the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on , with the vehicle moving .
Screenwash/headlamp wash low
In the case of vehicles fi tted with headlamp washers, when
the minimum level of the reservoir is reached, this warning
lamp and/or the service warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the screen.
Next time you stop, fi ll the screenwash / headlamp wash fl uid reservoir.
The warning lamp is displayed when the ignition is switched on, or
every time the stalk is operated, until the reservoir is fi lled.
To reduce the consumption of the fl uid by the headlamp washers,
they operate only with every seventh use of the screenwash or
every 25 miles (40 km) during a given journey.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) AND
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as traction control) optimises
traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of t\
he
driving wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability control 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.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is
started.
These systems act on the operation of the engine and brakes as soon
as they detect a problem of grip or trajectory. This is indicated by fl ashing of this warning lamp in the
instrument panel.
SNOW DRIVING ASSISTANCE
(INTELLIGENT TRACTION CONTROL)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction
Control.
This automatic system continuously checks for situations of diffi cult
surface adhesion that could make it diffi cult to move off or make
progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control limits the amount of
wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow, mud…), it can be useful to
temporarily deactivate the dynamic stability control and wheel anti-
slip systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow tyres are strongly recommended on surfaces offering low levels
of adhesion.

ACTIVE BONNET
Operating fault
The active bonnet has been designed to maximise the safety of
pedestrians in the event of an impact with the front of the vehicle. The deployment of the active bonnet is accompanied by a slight
emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation
of the pyrotechnic cartridge integrated in the system. The airbag
warning lamp comes on.
After deployment, close the bonnet by pressing on the hinges.
Go to the nearest PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop at a
maximum speed of 20 mph (30 km/h). This equipment can only operate once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subsequent accident), the active bonnet will
not operate.
After an accident or theft of the vehicle, have the system checked.
Do not handle the pyrotechnic systems, located under the bonnet
near the struts: risk of explosion.
All work on this system is strictly prohibited unless carried out by
skilled personnel of a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop to
have the system checked. The active bonnet may no longer
be deployed in the event of an impact.
