and guide-me-home lighting functions.
They go off automatically after 30 seconds.
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.

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 on 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 on 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.
 
 
 
 
The camera detection range is between 15 m 
(for pedestrians) and 200   m, depending on 
visibility conditions.
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
.
–
 
V
 ery 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.
–
 
After repainting of the grille outside of the 
PEUGEOT
 dealer network or a qualified 
workshop.
Maintenance 
recommendations
The infrared camera has a wash nozzle 
connected to the vehicle’s front screenwash 
system.   

74
Lighting and visibility
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 (SW) 
 
► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with 
the marking.
Off 
Intermittent wiping 
Screenwash-wipe 
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.
Special position of the 
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning 
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be 
useful, in wintry weather (ice, snow), to release 
the wiper blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat  wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–
 
handle them with care.
–
 
clean them regularly using soapy water
 .
–
 
avoid using them to hold cardboard on the 
windscreen.
–
 
replace them at the first signs of wear
 .
Before removing a windscreen wiper blade 
 
Operating the wiper control stalk immediately 
after switching off the ignition will place the wiper 
blades in a vertical position.
► 
Proceed with the desired operation or the 
replacement of the wiper blades.
After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► To return the wiper blades to their initial 
position after the operation, switch on the ignition 
and operate the wiper control stalk.

Safety
Seat belt not fastened/
unfastened alerts
 
 
 
 
1. Front left seat belt warning lamp
2. Front right seat belt warning lamp
3. Rear left seat belt warning lamp
4. Rear centre seat belt warning lamp
5. Rear right seat belt warning lamp
If the corresponding seat belt is not fastened 
or is unfastened, when the ignition is switched 
on, the seat belts warning lamp comes on in the 
instrument panel and the corresponding warning 
lamp (1 to 5) comes on in red in the seat belt and 
front passenger airbag warning lamps display.
If a rear seat belt is not fastened, the 
corresponding warning lamp ( 3 to 5) 
comes on for around 1 minute.
Above about 12 mph (20 km/h) and for 2 
minutes, each warning lamp corresponding to 
an occupied seat whose seat belt is unfastened 
flashes, accompanied by an audible signal. After 
these 2 minutes, the corresponding seat warning 
lamp remains on until the driver or the front/rear 
passenger fasten their seat belt.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers  use the seat belts correctly and that they 
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must 
always fasten the seat belt, even for short 
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they 
will not fulfil their role properly.
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt 
buckles, make sure that there are no foreign 
bodies present (e.g.
  a coin) before fastening.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt 
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench 
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned 
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be 
positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the 
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the 
seat belt may require the seat height to be 
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–
 
be tightened as close to the body as 
possible.
– be pulled in front of you with a smooth 
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–
 
must only be used to secure one person.
–
 
not show signs of tearing or fraying.
–
 
not be changed or modified, in order to 
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger 
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5 
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more 
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on  Child seats, refer to 
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety 
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's 
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with 
the skills and equipment needed, which a 
PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have the seat belts checked regularly by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, 
particularly if the straps show signs of 
damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy water or 
a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT 
dealers.

Driving
6In 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/Pedal trims
The use of mats or pedal trims 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 
on 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 
units of speed so that it complies with what is 
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop.
