Automatic lighting systems - General
recommendations
The automatic lighting systems use a detection
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.
Operating limits
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
–

When visibility conditions are poor
(e.g.

snowfall, heavy rain).
–

If the windscreen is dirty
, misted-up or
masked (e.g.
sticker) in front of the camera.
–

If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs
or safety barrier reflectors.
The system is not able to detect:
–


Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
–


V

ehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).
–

V

ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
Maintenance
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 camera.
Peugeot Matrix LED
Technology 2.0
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations for
automatic lighting systems.
This system automatically adapts the main
beam according to the driving conditions, so that
optimum illumination is maintained for the driver,
without causing a nuisance to other road users.
The driver remains responsible for the vehicle's lighting, its correct use in the
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,
and for compliance with driving and vehicle
regulations.
The system is active from 28 mph
(45 km/h) and deactivates below 22 mph
(35

km/h).
Activation/Deactivation
► Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in
the “ AUTO” position.
This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel.
It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle
touch screen application.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
When deactivated, the lighting system changes
to "Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.
It is recommended that you deactivate
the function in foggy or snowy conditions
or in case of heavy mist.
The function temporarily is deactivated when
the system detects thick fog or when the
foglamps are switched on manually. This is
signalled by the indicator lamp going off on
the instrument panel.
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.

70
Lighting and visibility
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the
system.
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.
Entering an illuminated area
At the entrance to an illuminated area (e.g. a
town), the lamp segments are gradually switched
off from the outside to the inside of the vehicle to
switch to the dipped beams.
Exiting an illuminated area
The lamp segments gradually light up from the
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the
main beams.
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
►

Switch the dipped/main beam headlamps
manually to pause the function.
The lighting system changes to "Automatic
illumination of lamps" mode.
►


T
o reactivate the function, manually switch
the dipped/main beam headlamps again.
Malfunction
In the first case, this warning lamp goes
out on the instrument panel, accompanied
by the display of a message if the sensor is
masked.
This is a normal behavior, which does not
request the support of a qualified workshop.
Stop the vehicle and verify if the front camera is
covered by dirt, mud, sand, snow, ice or anything
preventing the sensing.
The system is operational again after the
detection field has been cleaned.
In the second case, this warning lamp
goes out on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal and the
display of a message if a malfunction occurs with
the adaptive headlamp lighting or the camera.
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.
Adaptive Frontlight System
This function has several lighting modes, specific
to each driving situation.
The intensity and width of the light beam of the
main headlamps and the modules vary so as to
increase or reduce the range of the lighting.
The modules switch on and off sequentially
so as to expand and direct the light beam to
increase or decrease the lighting up of the sides
of the road.
This function is a driving aid which cannot, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver
who must continually adapt the driving of the
vehicle to the visibility and traffic conditions.
