Guide-me-home lighting
Automatic
With the ring in the "AUTO" position, when the 
light is poor, the dipped beam headlamps come 
on automatically when the ignition is switched 
off.
You can activate/deactivate this function and adjust the guide-me-
home lighting duration in the vehicle 
configuration menu.
Manual 
 
► With the ignition off, pull the lighting control 
stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to activate/
deactivate the function.
Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off 
automatically after a period of time. For versions without "Automatic illumination 
of lamps", the manual guide-me-home lighting 
switches off automatically after 30 seconds.
For versions with "Automatic illumination of 
lamps", the period of operation of the manual 
guide-me-home lighting is the same as that set 
for the automatic guide-me-home lighting.
Welcome lighting
When the vehicle is unlocked in low light 
conditions and the "Automatic illumination of 
headlamps" function is activated, this system 
automatically switches on:
–
 
On the outside, sidelamps, dipped beam 
headlamps and door mirror spotlamps.
–
 
Inside, courtesy lamps and footwell lighting.
Activation / deactivation and adjustment of the duration of the 
welcome lighting are set via the vehicle 
configuration menu.
Door mirror spotlamps
These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle 
by lighting the ground near the front doors.
When the front courtesy lamp switch is in 
this position, the spotlamps come on 
automatically:
–
 
when the vehicle is unlocked.
–
 
when a door is opened.
–
 
when a request to locate the vehicle is 
received from the remote control.
Whatever the position of the front courtesy lamp 
switch, they also come on with the welcome 
lighting and guide-me-home lighting functions.
They go off automatically after 30 seconds.
Automatic headlamp  dipping
When the ring is in the "AUTO” position, this 
system automatically switches between dipped 
and main beam headlamps according to the 
lighting and traffic conditions, using a camera 
located at the top of the windscreen.
 
 
This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for 
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the 
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and 
traffic, and for observation of driving and 
vehicle regulations.   

82
Lighting and visibility
The system becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h), 
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch 
screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory 
when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the 
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam 
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam head lamps 
remain lit. These indicator lamps 
come on on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic 
conditions permit:
– The main beam headla mps 
come on automatically. These 
indicator lamps come on on the instrument 
panel.
The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are 
switched on or the system detects dense fog.
When the fog lamps are switched off or the 
vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function 
is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the  function is deactivated.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp 
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►
 
A
  "headlamp flash" pauses the function:
•
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Dipped beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to main 
beam,
•
 
if the "AUT
 O" and "Main beam" indicator 
lamps were on, the system changes to 
dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps 
again.
The system may be disrupted or not work  correctly:
–
 
When visibility conditions are poor 
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
–
 
If the windscreen in front of the camera is 
dirty
, misted or obscured (for example, by a 
sticker).
–
 
If the vehicle is facing highly reflective 
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it 
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–
 
Road users that do not have their own 
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–
 
V
ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for 
example, vehicles driving behind a safety 
barrier on a motorway).
–
 
V
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep 
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Clean the windscreen regularly, 
particularly the area in front of the 
camera.
The internal surface of the windscreen can 
also become misted around the camera. 
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the 
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could 
obstruct the detection camera.
Cornering lighting 
 
(Only on versions equipped with Full LED 
technology headlamps)
This system makes use of the beam from a front 
foglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend, when 
the main or dipped beam headlamps are on and 
the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40
  km/h) 
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking 
manoeuvres).
 
 
Without/With cornering lighting
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch 
screen menu.
Switching on / off
This system starts:
–  when the corresponding direction indicator is 
switched on.
or
–  from a certain angle of rotation of the steering 
wheel.
It becomes inactive:
–  below a certain angle of rotation of the 
steering wheel.
–  above 25 mph (40 km/h).
–  when reverse gear is engaged.
Wiper control stalk
In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or 
frost present on the windscreen, around

Driving
Once the state of charge of the battery drops to 
the reserve level, the system switches to energy 
economy mode : the power supply is cut off 
automatically to preserve the remaining battery 
charge.
Starting the engine
With the parking brake applied:
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever 
in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal.
►  With an automatic gearbox, place the gear 
selector in mode  N or P then fully depress the 
brake pedal.
►  Insert the key into the ignition switch; the 
system recognises the code.
►  Unlock the steering column by simultaneously 
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain cases, you may have to apply 
significant force to move the steering 
wheel (wheels on full lock, for example).
►  With a petrol engine , operate the starter 
motor by turning the key to position  3 without 
pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine 
starts. Once the engine starts, release the key.
With petrol engines , after a cold start, 
preheating the catalytic converter can 
cause noticeable engine vibrations for 
anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with 
the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
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
► 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.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► 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 causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior  temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the  STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as 
possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a 
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use 
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine 
immobiliser system, whose secret code must be 
recognised in order for starting to be possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the 
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Starting / Switching off the 
engine with the key
Key ignition switch 
 
It has 3 positions:
–  1. Stop: inserting and removing the key , 
steering column locked.
–
 
2. Ignition : steering column unlocked, ignition 
on, Diesel preheating, engine running.

wheels be returned to the straight ahead 
position before switching off the engine.
Never switch off the ignition before the 
complete immobilisation of the vehicle. 
With the engine off, the braking and steering 
assistance systems are also cut off - risk of 
loss of control of the vehicle!
Check that the parking brake is correctly 
applied, particularly on sloping ground.
When leaving the vehicle, keep the key in 
your possession and lock the vehicle.
Energy economy mode
After the engine has stopped (position  1. Stop), 
for a maximum combined duration of about thirty 
minutes, you can still use functions such as the 
audio and telematics system, courtesy lamps, 
windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, 
etc.
For more information on  Energy 
economy mode, refer to the 
corresponding section.

Driving
6The systems cannot exceed the limits of the 
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel 
with both hands, always use the interior and 
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the 
feet close to the pedals and take a break 
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the 
surroundings of the vehicle before and during 
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the 
mirrors.
Radar
The operation of the radar as well as the 
associated functions may be impaired through 
the accumulation of dirt (mud, frost, etc.), in 
certain difficult weather conditions (very heavy 
rain, snow) or if the bumper is damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop; 
certain types of paint could interfere with the 
operation of the radar.
 
 
Driving aids camera
This camera and its associated functions 
may be impaired or not work if the windscreen 
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty, 
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or 
masked by a sticker.
On versions with camera alone, this message 
indicates to you that the camera is obstructed: 
"Driving aids camera: visibility limited, see 
user guide".
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting, 
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle 
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun, 
reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel, 
alternating shade and light) can also impair 
detection performance.
In the event of a windscreen replacement, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop to recalibrate the camera; 
otherwise, the operation of the associated 
driving aids may be disrupted.
Other cameras
The images from the camera(s) 
displayed on the touch screen or on the 
instrument panel may be distorted by the 
relief.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in 
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate 
lighting, the image may be darkened and with 
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they 
actually are.
Sensors
The operation of the sensors as well as 
the associated functions may be disturbed 
by sound interference such as that emitted 
by noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries, 
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of 
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the 
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible 
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors 
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can 
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not 
always detected by the system: distance 
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect 
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs) 
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind 
spots may not be detected or may no longer 
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound 
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.
Maintenance
Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and 
the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Lane positioning assist
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
Only available on versions with electric 
automatic gearbox (Hybrid).
Using a camera located at the top of the 
windscreen, the system identifies lane markings 
and steers the vehicle inside this lane, keeping it 
in the lateral position chosen by the driver.
This function is primarily suitable for driving on 
motorways and main roads.
