Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with the Peugeot
Matrix LED Technology 2.0 function:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road,
deactivate the function to avoid dazzling
oncoming drivers.
Operation
Using a camera, the system detects the driving
conditions (brightness, lights from oncoming or
followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the
beams of the main headlamps accordingly.
The modules that make up the main beams
switch on and off gradually, segment by
segment, depending on the driving conditions
detected.
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the
system.
If the system is selected but the display
on the instrument panel and the alerts are
not available, the indicator lamp comes on in
grey.
Followed vehicle

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only
those lamp segments directed at the followed
vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as
not to dazzle its driver.
Oncoming vehicle

When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only
those lamp segments directed at this vehicle
go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the
duration of the approach.

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.
►

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

Driving
6mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 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), by the masking of the detection zone
with adhesive labels or other objects, or if the
bumpers are damaged.
If the front or rear 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).
Take care not to cover the detection zones
on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
correct operation of the associated system.


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 (e.g.
inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(e.g.
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. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
