(version with AUTO lighting) or the dipped
beams are switched off manually, the foglamps
and sidelamps remain on.

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.

Cornering lighting
Activation
DeactivationWith dipped or main beam headlamps, this
system makes use of the beam from a front
foglamp to illuminate the inside of a
bend,
when the vehicle speed is below 25
mph
(approximately 40
km/h) (urban driving, winding
road, intersections, parking manoeuvres, etc.).

Wiper control stalk
In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and the
windscreen seal, before operating the
wipers.
Do not operate the wipers on a
dry
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades
are not stuck to the windscreen before
operating the wipers.

Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate
automatically, without any action
on the part of the driver, when rain
is detected (sensor behind the rear
view mirror), adapting their speed to
the intensity of the rainfall.
Switching on
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and a message is
displayed.
Give a

short downwards push to the control
stalk.
A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has
been accepted.
Switching off
This indicator lamp goes off in the
instrument panel and a message is
displayed.
Give another short downwards push to
the control stalk or shift the control stalk to
a

different position (Int, 1 or 2). If the wipers operate in intermittent mode
when in AUTO mode, have the system
checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain sensor, combined with
the sunshine sensor, located at the top of
the windscreen behind the rear view mirror.
When using an automatic car wash, switch
off the automatic rain sensitive wipers.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice before
activating the automatic rain sensitive
wipers.
Front screenwash
Pull the wiper control stalk towards you. The
screenwash and then the wipers operate for
a
preset time.
Front wipers

release). The automatic rain sensitive windscreen
wipers must be reactivated by pushing the
control stalk downwards, if the ignition has
been off for more than 1
minute.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After switching off the engine and for
a
maximum cumulative period of around
40
minutes, you can continue to use functions
such as the audio and telematics system,
the wipers, the dipped beam headlamps, the
courtesy lamps, etc.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a
telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically
reactivated the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:

Fitting roof bars
When fitting transverse roof bars, take care to
position them correctly on the retaining pins
located in the door apertures.
For more information, contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle, refer to local legislation.
As a
safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.

F Remove the plastic cover to access the (+)
terminal.
The ( -) battery terminal is not accessible. A
remote earth point is located on the engine
mounting.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a backup battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or using a
battery booster. Never try to start the engine by connecting
a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and
a capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.

139
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-

i
f you only use your vehicle for short
journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you wish to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a
charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries with a
nominal
voltage of 12
V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.

F

E

condition.
F

I
f your vehicle has one, lift the plastic cover
on the (+) terminal.
F

C
onnect the cables of charger B as follows:
-

t
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of battery A ,
-

t
he negative (-) black cable to earth point
C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the
cables from battery A .
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged. Never try to charge a
frozen battery – risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a
risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking. If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a
12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a
long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F

c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows,
e t c .),
