Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen. Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.
For more information on a system or a function,
refer to the corresponding section.
Warning lamp continuously
lit
The illumination of a red or orange warning lamp
indicates the occurrence of a fault that needs
further investigation.
If a warning lamp remains lit
The references (1), (2) and (3) in the warning
and indicator lamp description indicate whether
you should contact a qualified professional in
addition to the immediate recommended actions.
(1): You must stop the vehicle
.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and switch off
the ignition.
(2): Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
(3): Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Lighting and visibility
4This 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 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),
– vehicles 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.
Static cornering lighting

With the dipped or main beam headlamps on,
this function allows headlamps to illuminate
the inside of a bend using light-emitting diodes
(LEDs). The speed of the vehicle must be less than 56
mph (90 km/h).
This function is only available with the "Full LED"
technology headlamps.
Activation / Deactivation
It is set via the
Driving / Vehicle touch
screen menu.
Switching on / off
This system operates from a certain angle of
rotation of the steering wheel.
The system does not operate:
–

below a certain angle of rotation of the
steering wheel.
–


above 56 mph (90
km/h),
–

when reverse gear is engaged.
Night Vision
In conditions of low exterior light, the system
uses an infrared camera at the front of the
vehicle to
identy and signal the presence of
pedestrians and animals in the driver’s field of
vision.

T

o benefit from the permanent display of the
infrared camera image in the instrument panel,
select the "Night Vision" display mode by turning
the knob on the left-hand side of the steering
wheel. When the conditions are met, an alert is
triggered if there is a risk of collision.

70
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,
–

camera scratched after going through roller
car washes repeatedly

,
–

very high outside temperatures,
–


at the top or bottom of a steep slope,
–


on a very winding road,
–


in a bend,
