deactivated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.

Night Vision
Using an infrared camera at the front of the
vehicle, the system identifies and signals the
presence of pedestrians and animals in the
driver’s field of vision, in low exterior light
conditions.
For the permanent display of the image from
the infrared camera in the instrument panel,
select the "Night Vision" display mode by
turning the knob located to the left of the
steering wheel. Once the conditions are met,
an alert is triggered when there is a risk of
collision. Night Vision is a driving aid system that
cannot, under any circumstances, replace
the personal assessment of night-time
visibility and traffic conditions.
In some conditions, the contrasts in
temperature are insufficient and the
system may not detect all dangers or,
conversely, it may give false warnings
(e.g. engines of lorries parked on the edge
of the road).
Conditions for operation
With the dipped or main beam headlamps on,
this function allows headlamps to illuminate
the inside of a bend using light-emitting diodes
(LEDs).
The speed of the vehicle must be less than 56
mph (90 km/h).
This function is only available with the "Full
LED" technology headlamps. If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a
temporary window displayed in the instrument
panel.
The function is available with the engine
running and in STOP mode of Stop & Start.
The light conditions must be very poor. The
dipped beam headlamps must be switched on
and maintained in good working order.
The temperature detection range is between
-30°C and +30°C.
The speed of the vehicle must be less than
99
mph (160 km/h).
The camera detection range is between 15
m
(for pedestrians) and 200
m, depending on
visibility conditions.

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

95
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)

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,
