Automatic Peugeot Matrix
LED Technology 2.0
headlamp adjustment
This system automatically adjusts the height of
the headlamp beams according to the load in the
vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
The system places the headlamp beams in the
lowest position.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Do not touch the Peugeot Matrix LED
Technology 2.0 headlamps - risk of
electrocution!
Automatic illumination of lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “ AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are
switched on automatically, without any action on
the part of the driver. They may also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen 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.
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.

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.

Switching off
Manual
After the ignition has been switched off,
the wipers may move slightly at the foot
of the windscreen.

74
Lighting and visibility
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).
Single wipe
If the wiper control stalk is:
► In the INT or AUTO position, pull the stalk
briefly towards you then release it.
►

In the
0 position, press briefly on the stalk
then release it.
Pressing and holding triggers continuous wiping
at the normal wiping speed.
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper
arm.
An additional jet is installed below the
midpoint of the arm on the driver's side.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
With automatic air conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to
protect the passenger compartment from any
odour.
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

► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.
Off
Intermittent wiping
Screenwash-wipe
If the ignition has been switched off with
the rear wiper active, operate the ring to
reactivate wiping when the ignition is switched
on again (unless the ignition was off for less
than 1 minute).
The first rotation of the ring to the screenwash
position triggers a single wipe. If the ring is
then left in the intermittent wiping position, the
rear wiper adopts a wiping speed dependent
on that of the windscreen wipers and the
speed of the vehicle.
Reverse
When reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper
will come into operation automatically if the front
windscreen wipers are operating.
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
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 Settings
> Vehicle touch
screen application.
Rear screenwash
► Turn the ring as far as it will go and hold it in
position.
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as
long as the ring remains turned.
A final wiping cycle is performed when screen
washing ends.

75
Lighting and visibility
4An additional jet is fitted above the number plate to clean the reversing camera (depending on
version).
►

The washing of the reversing camera is
triggered by operating the rear screenwash.
Front intermittent wiping
In Intermittent mode, the driver can adjust the
wiping frequency by turning the ring to one of the
5 available positions.


The first (upper) position corresponds to the
longest time interval between 2 wipes for light
rain.
The last (lower) position corresponds to the
shortest time interval between 2 wipes
for heavy
rain.
A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a
lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.
After the ignition has been switched off for more than 1 minute with the wiper
control stalk in the INT, 1 or 2
position, when
the ignition is switched on again:
–

the system works as soon as the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the outside
temperature is below +3°C.
–


the system works immediately
, if the
outside temperature is above +3°C.
Automatic windscreen wipers
In AUTO mode, the front wipers work
automatically and adapt to the intensity of
precipitation depending on the sensitivity of the
sensor selected.
The rainfall detection function uses a rain/
sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.
In certain weather conditions (e.g. fog,
frost, snow , projections on salty roads),
the driver may have to return to manual
wiping.
Switching on/off
To switch on:
► Put the wiper control stalk in the AUT
O
position.
►

T
urn the ring to adjust the sensitivity of the
sensor.
A wiping cycle, accompanied by the display of
a message, confirms that the request has been
taken into account.
►

T
o switch off, put the wiper control stalk in
another position or in the 0 position.
Adjusting the sensitivity

The first position (upper) corresponds to the
lowest sensitivity of the sensor.
The last position (lower) corresponds to the
highest sensitivity of the sensor.
The higher the sensitivity, the faster the system
reacts and increases the wiping frequency.
A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a
lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.
After the ignition has been switched off
for more than 1 minute with the wiper
control stalk in the AUTO position, when the
ignition is switched on again:
–

the system works, depending on the
volume of rain detected, as soon as the
vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the
outside temperature is below +3°C.
–


the system works immediately
, depending
on the volume of rain detected, if the outside
temperature is above +3°C.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the automatic wipers and the
ignition.
