Lighting and visibility
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/sunshine 
sensor, the vehicle’s lamps come on and this 
warning lamp is displayed on the instrument 
panel, accompanied by an audible signal and/or 
the display of a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor 
located at the top centre of the 
windscreen behind the interior rear view 
mirror; the associated functions would no 
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor 
may detect sufficient light. For this 
reason, the lighting will not come on 
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may  become misted up and affect the proper 
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Switching on the lamps after 
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the 
ring to the "0" position - lamps off, then to the 
desired position.
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 level of charge in 
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
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.
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.
Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a 
country that drives on the other side of the 
road, the dipped beam headlamps must be 
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. 
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
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.
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
 
 
If the vehicle is so equipped, they come on 
automatically when the engine is started, when 
the lighting control stalk is in position " 0" or 
"AUTO".
Automatic headlamp  illumination
When a low level of ambient light is detected 
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate 
lamps,
  sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps 
are switched on automatically, without any action 
on the part of the driver. They can also come 
on if rain is detected, at the same time as the 
automatic rain sensitive wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient 
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched 
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

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.
Headlamp beam height 
adjustment
 
 
To avoid inconvenience to other road users, 
the height of the halogen headlamps must be 
adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.

Driving
6On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety 
conditions allow, make several light brake 
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when 
driving, the driver must pay particular attention.
At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the 
pedestrian horn warns other road users of the 
vehicle’s presence.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during 
charging to cool the on-board charger and the 
traction battery.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly 
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such 
as:
–
 
T
 raction battery relay when starting.
–
 
V
 acuum pump when braking.
–
 
V
 ehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.
–
 
Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable 
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower 
air density at high altitudes decreases engine 
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the 
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles 
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit the amount of heating produced.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the 
STOP warning lamp come 
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as 
soon as possible.

Driving
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.
The systems cannot exceed the limits of the 
laws of physics.
Driving aids
You should hold the steering wheel 
with both hands, always use the interior and 
exterior rear view mirrors, always keep the 
feet close to the pedals and take a break 
every two hours.
Manoeuvring aids
The driver must always check the 
surroundings of the vehicle before and during 
the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the 
mirrors.
Radar(s)
The operation of the radar(s), along with 
any associated functions, may be affected 
by the accumulation of dirt (e.g.
  mud, ice), 
in poor weather conditions (e.g.
  heavy rain, 
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop; 
certain types of paint could interfere with the 
operation of the radar(s).
 
 
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.
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 
terrain.
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 
any associated functions, may be disrupted 
by noise pollution 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.
When washing your vehicle at high pressure, 
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away 
from the radar, sensors and cameras.
Mats
The use of mats not approved by 
PEUGEOT may interfere with the operation of 
the speed limiter or cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
–  Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.
–  Never fit one mat on top of another.
Units of speed
Ensure that the units of speed displayed 
in the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are 
those for the country you are driving in.
If this is not the case, when the vehicle is 
stationary, set the display to the required

Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of 
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient 
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine, you can still 
use functions such as the audio and telematic 
system, the wipers and the dipped beam 
headlamps or courtesy lamps, for a combined 
duration of approximately 40 minutes.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when 
energy economy mode is entered, and the active 
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the 
time, it will be maintained for around 10 
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free 
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the 
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions 
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–
 
For less than 10 minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–
 
For more than 10 minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to 
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
T
o recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or 
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from  starting.
For more information on the  12
  V battery, 
refer to the corresponding section.
Load reduction mode
This system manages the use of certain 
functions according to the level of charge 
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load 
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain 
functions, such as the air conditioning and the 
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated 
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" type 
spare wheel
If the vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, the 
washers A do not make contact with the steel 
or "space-saver" type spare wheel. The wheel 
is held in place by the conical contact surface 
B of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Stow the punctured wheel in the carrier.
Go promptly to a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After 
inspection, the technician will advise you on 
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must 
be replaced.
Some driving aid functions should be 
disabled, e.g. the Active Safety Brake.
If your vehicle has tyre under-inflation 
detection, check the tyre pressures and 
reinitialise the system.
For more information on  Tyre under-inflation 
detection, refer to the corresponding section.
Tyre under-inflation detection
The steel spare wheel does not have a 
sensor.
Wheel with wheel trim
When refitting the wheel, refit the wheel 
trim, starting by aligning the cutout with the 
valve and then pushing the trim into place all 
round its edge with the palm of your hand.
Changing a bulb
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.
The headlamps have polycarbonate  lenses with a protective coating:
–
 
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive 
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent 
products.
–
 
Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH 
neutral product.
–
 
When using a high-pressure washer on 
persistent marks, do not keep the lance 
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or 
their edges for too long, so as not to damage 
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with 
the ignition off and after the headlamp / 
lamp has been switched off for several 
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your 
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet 
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the 
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb 
of the same type and specification. To avoid 
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.
Halogen bulbs (Hx)
To ensure good quality lighting, check 
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its 
housing.
Opening the bonnet/Accessing the 
bulbs
Proceed with caution when the engine is hot - 
risk of burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that could 
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan - 
risk of strangulation!
After changing a bulb
To refit, carry out the operations in 
reverse order to removal.
Close the protective cover very carefully to 
guarantee the sealing of the lamps.
