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.
Persistent warning lamp
If a red or orange warning lamp comes on, there
may be fault which needs further investigation.
If a 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): Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Lighting and visibility
The image provided by the camera is displayed
in shades of grey in the instrument panel; warm
objects appear brighter than cold objects.
If pedestrians or animals are detected, they
appear in yellow frames.
If the system detects a risk of
collision with pedestrians or
animals, it triggers an alert: one of these symbols
appears on 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.
Operating limits
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it from
working:
– Poor visibility conditions (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 temperature.
– At the top or bottom of a steep slope.
– On a very winding road.
– In a bend.
– After an impact which may have impaired the
camera settings or damaged it.
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
This system identifies and signals the presence
of pedestrians and animals in the driver's field
of vision, in low exterior light conditions, using
an infrared camera located at the front of the
vehicle.
Select the "Night vision " display mode if you
want the infrared camera image to be displayed
constantly on the instrument panel. When the
conditions are met, an alert is triggered if there is
a risk of collision.
The permanent
display disappears upon
switching off the ignition or if the conditions are
not met.
This system is a driving aid system that cannot, under any circumstances,
replace the driver's assessment of night-time
visibility and traffic conditions.
In some cases, the differences 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 by
the side of the road).
Conditions for operation
– With the engine running and in Stop mode
of Stop & Start.
–

This function is set via the Driving/Vehicle touch screen menu.
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.

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
If the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on in orange on the
instrument panel, accompanied by the display of
a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Wiper control stalk
Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen and around the wiper
arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. In extremely hot or cold
weather, check that the wiper blades are not
stuck to the windscreen before operating the
wipers.
After using an automatic car wash, you may temporarily notice abnormal noises
and poorer wiping performance. You do not
need to replace the wiper blades.
Windscreen wipers



► To select the wiping speed: raise or lower the
stalk to the desired position.
Fast wiping (heavy rain)
Normal wiping (moderate rain)
