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.

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
60
seconds,
-
a
utomatic activation of guide-me-home
lighting when the automatic illumination of
headlamps is in operation.
The guide-me-home lighting can be
configured in the Driving/Vehicle
menu.
In the event of a
fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lighting comes

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.

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

Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.
The vehicle retains conventional braking. Drive
carefully at moderate speed. If these warning lamps come on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a
message, this indicates a fault
with the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) system.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal. If you need to brake in an emergency,
press the brake pedal ver y firmly and
keep the pressure applied.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as
soon as possible.Anti-slip regulation (ASR)/
Dynamic stability control
(DSC)
Operation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
They come into operation in the event of
a
problem with grip or trajectory. This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
w hich is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground, etc.), it may be advisable to deactivate
these systems, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
Reactivate these systems as soon as the level
of grip permits.
Deactivation of ASR and DSC using the button
F Press this button.
The orange indicator lamp in the button comes
on.
The ASR and DSC systems will no longer have
an effect on engine operation or the brakes in
the event of an involuntary change of trajectory.
Deactivation of ASR using the touch screen
The deactivation is configured in the
Driving/Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a
message.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
each time the ignition is switched back on or
above 31 mph (50 km/h).
Below 31
mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually.

Seat belts
At the front
The front seat belts are fitted with
a pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a
front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the passenger's chest, thus
improving their protection.
Reactivation of ASR and DSC using the
button

The reactivation is configured in the
Driving/Vehicle menu.
It is confirmed by the display of a
message.
Malfunction
Illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of
a
message and an audible signal,
indicates a
fault with the system.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the systems checked. ASR/DSC
These systems offer increased safety
in normal driving, but they should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip (rain,
snow, ice) that the risk of loss of grip
increases. It is therefore important for your
safety to keep these systems activated in
all conditions, and particularly in difficult
conditions.
The correct operation of these
systems depends on obser vation of
the manufacturer's recommendations
regarding both the wheels (tyres and
rims), braking and electronic components
and the assembly and repair procedures
used by PEUGEOT dealers.
The use of snow tyres is recommended,
in order to be able to benefit from the
efficiency of these systems in winter
conditions.
In this case, it is essential to equip the
four wheels with tyres approved for your
vehicle.

With Petrol engines , after a
cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2
minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
Electronic immobiliser
The original key contains a coded electronic
c hip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This anti-theft protection locks the engine
management system a
few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a
break-in.
In the event of a
fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning lamp, the emission of an
audible signal and the display of
a
message.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

(kick-down). The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear selected until
the maximum engine speed is reached.
