screen
The activation, deactivation and
the choice of brightness of the
ambience lighting can be set via the
vehicle configuration menu.
The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:
-

u

nder conditions of poor visibility (for
example, snowfall, heavy rain or thick
f o g , e t c .),
-

i

f the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, etc.) in front of
the camera,
-

i

f the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
If the fog is too dense, the system is
automatically deactivated.
The system is not able to detect:
-

r

oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-

r

oad users whose lighting is obscured,
such as vehicles running behind a
safety barrier (on a motor way, for
example),
-

r

oad users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.
Headlamp beam height
adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
users, the height of the halogen headlamps
should be adjusted according to the load in the
vehicle.

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude:
reduce the maximum load
by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the
density of the air decreases with altitude
and the performance of the engine
reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight (at the point
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your
vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device
is used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the
temperature of the coolant. The maximum
towable load depends on the gradient and the
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of
the fan does not increase with engine speed.
F

T
o reduce the heating up, reduce the
vehicle speed and the engine speed.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
F

c

heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
F

d

eactivate the Stop & Start function,
F

d

rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h),
F

d

o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes -
Risk of serious burns!
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.
After changing a bulb
To refit, carry out the operations in reverse
order to removal.
Close the protective cover very carefully to
guarantee the sealing of the lamps. Opening the bonnet /Access to bulbs
With the engine warm, proceed with
caution - risk of burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the
engine cooling fan - risk of strangulation!
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.
Headlamps (halogen)
Be aware of the zone behind the right
lamp (vehicle direction), which may be hot
with a risk of burning (degassing hoses).
1.
Sidelamps (W5W-5W).
2. Main beam headlamps (H1-55W).
3. Dipped beam headlamps (H7-55W).
