lamps turn off instantly, except when
automatic guide-me-home lighting is
activated.
Switching on the lighting after the
ignition is switched off

the ring to "AUTO", then to the desired
position.
On opening the driver's door, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.
It switches off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the state of charge
in battery (entering energy economy mode).
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.

beam of "Full LED" headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury. Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling oncoming drivers.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
