In wintry conditions, remove all snow or
ice on the camera on the windscreen
before moving off.
Other wise, this can affect the function
of the equipment associated with the
camera.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom of
the windscreen, as well as the areas alongside
the windscreen pillars.
Without changing the settings for the air
conditioning system, it allows faster release
of the windscreen wiper blades when they
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid
the accumulation of snow resulting from the
operation of the windscreen wipers.
Switching on/off
F With the engine running, press this button; its indicator lamp comes on.
The function is active when the exterior
temperature is below 0°C.
F

P
ressing the button again switches off the
system; its indicator lamp goes off.
The system is automatically deactivated every
time the engine is switched off.
Rear screen demist –
defrost
Switching on
F Press this button to demist /defrost the rear screen and (depending on version) the door
mirrors. The orange indicator lamp associated with the
button comes on.
Rear screen demisting – defrosting can
only be operated when the engine is
running.
Switching off
Demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of current.
F

I
t is possible to stop the demisting/
defrosting operation before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the button again.
The indicator lamp associated with the button
goes off.
Switch off the demisting/defrosting of
the rear screen and door mirrors as
soon as appropriate, as lower current
consumption results in reduced fuel
consumption.

Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When the ring is at the "AUTO" position and
a low level of ambient light is detected by a
sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,
side
lamps 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.
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 accompanied by
an audible signal and/or a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
combined with the rain sensor and located
at the top centre of the windscreen behind
the rear view mirror; the associated
functions would no longer be controlled. In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Guide-me-home lighting
Automatic
With the ring in the "
AUTO" position, if the
brightness is low, the dipped beam headlamps
come on automatically when the ignition is
switched off.
Manual
Switching on/off
F W ith the ignition off, "flash" the headlamps
using the lighting control stalk to switch the
function on/off.

lighting
With the "Automatic illumination of headlamps"
function activated, under low ambient light, the
sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps and door
mirror spotlamps come on automatically when
the vehicle is unlocked.
Activation, deactivation and
the duration of the exterior
welcome lighting are set in the
Driving/Vehicle menu of the touch
screen.

Recommendations on care
The infrared camera has a wash nozzle
connected to the vehicle’s front screenwash
system.
This nozzle operates every 5th use of the
screenwash.
Regularly check that the camera is clean.
In bad weather, or in wintry conditions, ensure
that the camera is not covered with mud, ice
or snow.
Malfunction
An orange warning lamp coming on
whilst all the operating conditions
have been met, accompanied by
a message, indicates a system
malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Wiper control stalk
Programming
You can activate automatic wiping for the front
wipers.
On the SW, you can also configure rear wiping
on engaging reverse gear. 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.
Windscreen wipers
After switching off the ignition, a slight
movement of the windscreen wipers being
stored under the bonnet may occur.
Each time the ignition has been switched
off for more than a minute, regardless of
the previous wiper control stalk position,
it is necessary to reactivate the wiping by
operating the control.
Automatic (proportional to the
intensity of the rain).
Wiping speed selection control: raise or lower
the stalk to the desired position.
Single wipe
F Pull the stalk briefly towards you.
Front screenwash
F Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and hold.

Lighting and visibility

The screenwash jets are integrated in the
tips of each arm.
Additional jets are installed below the
midpoint of each arm.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed along the
length of the wiper blade. This improves
visibility and reduces the consumption of
screenwash fluid.
In some cases, depending on the contents
or colour of the fluid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be hardly
noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades,
do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there
is no risk of the fluid freezing on the
windscreen and hindering visibility. Always
use a screenwash fluid suitable for low
temperatures during the winter period.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper (SW)

long as the ring remains turned.
Termination of the screenwash is followed by a
final wiping cycle.
Reverse gear
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the
front windscreen wipers are operating. The function is activated or
deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle

menu of the touch screen.
This function is activated by default.
In the event of snow or hard frost or if a
bicycle carrier is fitted to a towing system,
deactivate the automatic rear wiper via the
touch screen’s Driving/Vehicle menu.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position is used for cleaning or
replacement of the wiper blades. It can also
be useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the
wiper blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wiper
blades, it is advisable to:
-

h
andle them with care,
-

c
lean them regularly using soapy
water,
-

a

on the windscreen,
-

r
eplace them at the first signs of wear.

Automatic windscreen
wipers
In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers operate
automatically, adapting to the intensity of the
rainfall without any action on the part of the
driver.
Detection of rainfall is by means of a sensor at
the top centre of the windscreen, behind the
rear view mirror.
Switching on
F Give a short downwards push to the control stalk.
A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has
been accepted.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
Switching off
F Give the control stalk a further brief push downwards or place the control stalk in
another position ( Int, 1 or 2 ).
This indicator lamp goes off in the
instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
The automatic windscreen wipers must be
reactivated by pushing the control stalk
downwards, if the ignition has been off for
more than one minute.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.
Have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with
the sunshine sensor and located at the top
centre of the windscreen.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive wipers
when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice before
activating the automatic rain sensitive wipers.

immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-

f

or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-

f

or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately thirty
minutes.
Snow chains

improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted
to


"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
