Lighting and visibility
– after an impact which may have impaired the
camera settings or damaged it,
– after repainting of the grille outside of the
PEUGEOT network or a qualified workshop.
Maintenance
recommendations
The infrared camera has a wash nozzle
connected to the vehicle’s front screenwash
system.
This nozzle operates every 5th use of the
screenwash.
Regularly check that the camera is clean.
In bad weather, or in wintry conditions, ensure
that the camera is not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Malfunction
An orange warning lamp coming on whilst all the operating conditions have been
met, accompanied by a message, indicates a
system malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Wiper control stalk
In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and on the
windscreen seal, before operating the wipers.
The permanent display disappears upon
switching off the ignition or if the conditions are
not met.
Night Vision is a driving aid system that
cannot, under any circumstances,
replace the personal assessment of
night-time visibility and traffic conditions.
In some conditions, the contrasts in
temperature are insufficient and the system
may not detect all dangers or, conversely,
it may give false warnings (e.g. engines of
lorries parked on the edge of the road).
Conditions for operation
– With the engine running and in Stop mode
of Stop & Start.
–

V
ery low light conditions with dipped beam
headlamps on and in good working order.
–

T
emperature between -30°C and +28°C.
–

Speed below 99 mph (160
km/h).
–

Detection of animals taller than 0.50 m.
Operation
If the function is selected but the display
on the instrument panel and the alerts are
not available (in "Night Vision" mode), the
indicator lamp comes on in grey.
If all operating conditions are met, the
indicator lamp comes on in green: the
display in the instrument panel (with "Night Vision" mode selected) and the triggering of
alerts are available.
If certain operating conditions (speed or
temperature) are not met, the
indicator
lamp comes on in orange: only the
display in the instrument panel is available (in
"Night Vision" mode).
Whilst the exterior light is too bright or the dipped
beam headlamps have not been switched on,
the alerts are not available.




The camera detection range is between 15 m
(for pedestrians) and 200 m, depending on
visibility conditions. The image provided by the camera is displayed
in shades of grey in the instrument panel; warm
objects appear brighter than cold objects.
When pedestrians or animals are detected, they
appear in yellow frames.
When the system detects a risk of
collision with pedestrians or
animals, it triggers an alert: one of these symbols
is displayed in the instrument panel. The
corresponding silhouette is framed in red.
If the "Night Vision" display mode has not been
selected, the alert is triggered in the form of a
temporary window.
In the event of an alert, the driver may act by
making an avoiding manoeuvre or by braking.
Activation/Deactivation
This function is set via the Driving /
V ehicle touch screen menu.
Operating limits
The following situations may interfere with the
operation of the system or prevent it working:
–

poor visibility (falling snow
, heavy rain, thick
fog),
–

camera masked by snow
, mud or dust,
–

Wiper control stalk
In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and on the
windscreen seal, before operating the wipers.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are
not stuck to the windscreen before operating
the wipers.
Windscreen wipers



► To select the wiping speed: raise or lower the
stalk to the desired position.
Fast wiping (heavy rain)
Normal wiping (moderate rain)
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the
vehicle’s speed)
Off
Automatic wiping (proportional to the rainfall).
Refer to the corresponding section.
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is
automatically reduced when the speed of
the vehicle drops below 3
mph (5 km/h).
When the speed is above 6
mph (10 km/h)
again, the wiping frequency returns to the
original frequency (fast or normal).
After switching off the ignition, a slight movement of the windscreen wipers to
store them under the bonnet may occur.
If the ignition has been switched off with
the windscreen wiper active, it is
necessary to operate the control stalk to
reactivate the wiping when the ignition is
switched on (unless the ignition is off for less
than 1
minute).
Single wipe
► Pull the stalk briefly towards you.
Front screenwash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash and windscreen wipers operate
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.

Lighting and visibility
Changing a wiper blade
Removing/refitting at the front

► Carry out these wiper blade replacement
operations from the driver's side.
► Starting with the wiper blade farthest from
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise
it as far as possible.
Take care not to hold the arms at the jet locations.
Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of
irreversible distortion.
Do not release them while they are moving -
risk of damaging the windscreen!
► Clean the windscreen using screenwash
fluid.
Do not apply "Rain X" type water-
repellent products.
The front screenwash jets are integrated in the tips of each arm.
Additional jets are installed below the
midpoint of each arm.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed along the
length of the wiper blade. This improves
visibility and decreases screenwash fluid
consumption.
With automatic air conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to avoid
odours inside the passenger compartment.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper (SW)

► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.
Off
Intermittent wipe
Wash-wipe
Reverse gear
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the front
windscreen wipers are operating.
This function is set via the Driving /
V ehicle touch screen menu.
In the event of accumulation of snow or
hard frost or if a bicycle carrier is fitted to
a towing system, deactivate the automatic
rear wiper via the touch screen’s Driving/
Vehicle menu.
Rear screenwash
► Turn the ring all the way towards the
dashboard and hold.
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as
long as the ring remains turned.
A final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper
blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–

handle them with care.
–


clean them regularly using soapy water
.
–

avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
–


replace them at the first signs of wear
.
Before removing a windscreen wiper blade

► Operating the wiper control stalk within one
minute after switching off the ignition will place
the wiper blades in a vertical position.
►

Proceed with the desired operation or replace
the wiper blades.
After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► To return the wiper blades to their initial
position, switch on the ignition and operate the
wiper control stalk.

Automatic windscreen wipers
In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers operate
automatically, without any action on the part of
the driver. If rain is detected, the wiping adapts to
the intensity of the rainfall automatically.
Detection of rainfall is by means of a rain/
sunshine sensor at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the automatic wipers and the
ignition.
In winter, wait until the windscreen is
completely clear of ice before activating the
automatic wipers.
Switching on

► Give a short downwards push to the control
stalk.
A
wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has
been accepted.
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
Switching off
► Give the control stalk another brief push
downwards or place the control stalk in another
position ( Int
, 1 or 2).
This indicator lamp goes off in the instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
