stalk
Main lighting



Automatic illumination of lamps/daytime running lamps
Sidelamps only
Dipped or main beam headlamps
"Highway function "
With "Full LED" technology headlamps,
the range of the dipped beam headlamps is
automatically increased once the speed of the
vehicle is above 68 mph (110
km/h).
"Peugeot Adaptive LED technology"
With the Full LED 3D rear lamps,
brightness is adjusted automatically for
optimum visibility at all times, both at day and
night.
Headlamp dipping

► Pull the stalk to switch between dipped and
main beam headlamps.
In “
AUTO” and sidelamps modes, the driver can
switch on the main beam headlamps temporarily
(“headlamp flash”) by pulling the stalk.
Displays
Illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp
in the instrument panel confirms that the lighting
selected is on.
A fault with a lamp is signalled by the permanent illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
Rear foglamps
They only work if the dipped or main beam headlamps are on.


► Rotate the ring forwards to switch them on
and backwards to switch them off.
When the lamps are switched off automatically
("
AUTO" position), the foglamps and the dipped
beam headlamps will remain on.
Switching on the foglamps is prohibited
in clear weather or in rain, both day and
night. In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers. They must
only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may
vary depending on country).
Do not forget to switch off the foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition

Manual adjustment of the
halogen headlamps




To avoid causing a nuisance to other road users,
the height of these headlamp beams should be
adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.

4 5 6 Not used
Automatic adjustment of
the Full LED technology
headlamps
This system automatically adjusts the height of
the headlamp beams according to the load in the
vehicle.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period of
time that depends on the state of charge of
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of Full LED headlamps: risk of
serious eye injury!
Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with halogen
headlamps:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamp dipped beams must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Daytime running lamps /
Sidelamps
These LED lamps at the front and rear of the
vehicle light up automatically when the engine
starts.
They perform the following functions:
–

Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk
at position

"AUTO" with adequate ambient light).
–

Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position
"

AUTO" with low ambient light or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
Direction indicators

► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you forget to cancel the direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Parking lamps
Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps
on the traffic side only.
►

Depending on version, within one minute
of switching off the ignition, move the lighting
control stalk up or down, depending which side
the traffic is on (for example, when parking on
the left, moving the lighting control stalk upwards
turns on the right-hand sidelamps).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
►


T
o switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.

Lighting and visibility
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 "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam,
• if the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
– under conditions of poor visibility (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker, etc.),
– 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,
– vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example: vehicles running behind a safety
barrier on a motorway),
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.
Welcome lighting

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 Driving

by lighting the ground near the front doors.
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.
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.
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 headlamps
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 headlamps
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.
