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.

moderate.
When navigation is activated, the use 
of HYBRID mode is advisable to optimise 
electrical consumption.
SPORT
Allows more dynamic driving to take advantage 
of the vehicle's maximum performance. 
Electric power is used to supplement the petrol 
engine as long as there is energy left in the 
battery.
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 
km/h) using the electric motors; above this 
speed, the vehicle is driven by the front wheels 
only.

►
 
Reduce speed immediately
 , avoid excessive 
steering movements and avoid sudden braking.
►
 
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do 
so.
The loss of pressure detected does not  always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
►
 
Using a compressor
 , such as the one in 
the temporary puncture repair kit, check the 
pressures of the four tyres when cold.
►
 
If it is not possible to make this check 
immediately
, drive carefully at reduced speed.

In the event of a puncture, use the 
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel 
(depending on equipment).
The alert is kept active until the system is  reinitialised.
Reinitialisation
The system must be reinitialised after any 
adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres, 
and after changing one or more wheels.
 
 
Before reinitialising the system, make 
sure that the pressures of the four tyres 
are correct for the conditions of use of the 
vehicle and conform to the values written on 
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before 
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is 
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

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.

Blind Spot Monitoring 
System
Refer to the General recommendations on the 
use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
 
 
This system includes sensors, placed on the 
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 
warning lamp comes on in the instrument 
panel.
When starting the vehicle, the warning lamp 
comes on in each mirror to indicate that the 
system is activated.
The state of the system stays in the memory 
when switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated  when towing with a towing device 
approved by PEUGEOT.
Conditions for operation

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.
