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.

4WD (4-wheel drive)
Depending on equipment.
4WD mode ("4-wheel drive") improves the
vehicle's grip at low and moderate speeds by
driving all 4 wheels continuously.
This mode is especially suited to snow-covered
roads and difficult terrain (mud, sand, etc.) as
well as ford crossings, at moderate speed.
Depending on the driving conditions and the
battery charge level, 4WD mode may be 100%
electric.
This mode will be even more effective if the vehicle is fitted with suitable tyres,
such as winter tyres.
The grip can be improved up to 84 mph (135

Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations
Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt
the speed to climactic conditions, traffic and
the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly
check the traffic, to assess the relative
distances and speeds of other vehicles and to
anticipate their movements before indicating
and changing lane.

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.

sides of the bumpers, and warns the driver of
the potentially dangerous presence of another
vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle) in the blind spot
areas of their vehicle (areas hidden
from the
driver's field of vision).
The warning is given by a fixed warning lamp
that appears in the door mirror on the side in
question:
–
immediately
, when being overtaken;
–
after a delay of about one second, when
overtaking a vehicle slowly
.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
When the function is activated, this

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet surface or
moving from a dry area to a wet area can
cause false alerts (for example, the presence
of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot
angle is interpreted as a vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on the
front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels
or other objects; they may hamper correct
operation of the system.
Active Blind Spot Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you attempt to cross
a lane marking with the direction indicator
activated, to help you avoid a collision.
This system is the combination of the Active
Lane Keeping Assistance and Blind Spot
Monitoring System. These two functions must be activated and in
operation.
The speed of the vehicle must be between 40
and 87
mph (65 and 140 km/h).
These functions are especially suitable for
driving on motorways and main roads.
