Lighting control stalk
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.
Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a
country
that drives on the other side of the road,
the dipped beam headlamps must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming
drivers. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.

(version with AUTO lighting) or the dipped
beams are switched off manually, the foglamps
and sidelamps remain on.
F
T
urn the ring rear wards to switch the
foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch
of f.
In good or rainy weather, by day and
night, using the front and rear foglamps is
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, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn off the front and rear
foglamps as soon as they are no longer
necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lighting turns off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated. Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, set
the ring to position "
0" - lighting off, then to
the desired position.
On opening the driver's door, a
temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.
The lamps, with the exception of the
sidelamps, switch off automatically after
a
maximum duration of 30 minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.
Direction indicators
F Lower the lighting control stalk fully when turning left.
F

R
aise the lighting control stalk fully when
turning right. If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20
seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 37 mph (60 km/h).
Three flashes
Move the stalk briefly upwards or downwards,
without going beyond the point of resistance;
the corresponding direction indicators will flash
three times.
This function can be used at any speed,
but it is particularly useful for changing
lane on fast roads.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When a low level of ambient light is detected by
t he 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 may 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.

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, linked
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.
Automatic guide-me-home
lighting
When associated with automatic illumination of
headlamps, the guide-me-home lighting offers
the following additional options:
-

s
election of the lighting duration of 15, 30 or

fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lighting comes
on, this warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or
a
message appears on the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has
been switched off makes the driver's exit easier
when the light is poor.

(approximately 40
km/h) (urban driving, winding
road, intersections, parking manoeuvres, etc.).
