Switching off the lighting when
switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for the
dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
In good or rainy weather, by 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 falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you should
switch on the foglamps and dipped
beam headlamps manually, as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to switch off the front and
rear foglamps when they are no longer
necessary.
Switching on the lighting when
switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, turn the
ring A to position "0"
- lighting off, then to the
position of your choice.
If the lighting is switched on manually after
switching off the ignition, there is an audible
signal when a front door is opened to warn the
driver that they have forgotten to switch off the
vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off.
They switch off automatically after a period
which depends on the state of charge of the
battery (entry to energy economy mode).

When the automatic illumination of headlamps
function is activated (lighting control stalk in
the
"AUTO " position), under low ambient light
the dipped beam headlamps remain on when
the ignition is switched off.
Programming
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.
When a low level of ambient light is detected by a sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, 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 sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Activation or deactivation,
as well as the duration of the
guide-me-home lighting, is set
in the vehicle configuration
menu.

Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with
the sunshine sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, to avoid damaging the wiper
blades, 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 downwards.

he last value programmed is retained and
the indicator lamp comes on.
Operating limits
If the indicator lamp in button 1
flashes, have the system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system is not an anti-collision radar
and it does not act of the movement
of your vehicle. It provides information
but cannot, in any circumstances, take
the place of vigilance on the part of
the


driver.
F

P

ress button 1 to deactivate the system,
the indicator lamp goes off. The system switches to standby automatically
if the sensor does not detect the vehicle in front
correctly (very difficult weather conditions,
sensor out of adjustment, ...). A message is
displayed in the multifunction screen.
The vehicle being followed may not be detected
in certain conditions such as, for example:
-
w

hen turning,
-
w

hen changing lane,
-

w

hen the vehicle in front is either too far
ahead (maximum range of the sensor:
100 m) or stationary (in a traffic jam, ...),
When the vehicle being followed is much
too near (time between the two vehicles less
than

0.5 seconds), the display remains fixed
at

0.5 seconds.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label (see
the "Identification markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less
then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the
values indicated on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.

The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by
the illumination of the service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it. F

top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.

f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.

F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Visual and audible front and rear parking sensors
System consisting of four proximity sensors,
installed in the front and/or rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
barrier...) located behind the vehicle, however,
it will not be able to detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper.The parking sensors are switched on
:
- b y engaging reverse gear,
-

a
t a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal
and display of the vehicle in the multifunction
screen. The proximity information is indicated by:
-
a n audible signal which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle,
-

a g
raphic in the multifunction screen, with
blocks which move closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal by the speakers;
front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol
appears, depending on the multifunction
screen version.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the start of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves nearer to it.
