Lighting and visibility
4Automatic 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.
Automatic headlamp dipping
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations for
automatic lighting systems.
With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the
"AUTO" position and the function activated on
the touch screen, this system automatically
switches between dipped and main beam
headlamps, according to lighting and traffic
conditions, using a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.


This system is a driving aid. 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 becomes operational when the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15
km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
With audio system



► To activate or deactivate the system, press
this button.
The indicator lamp in the button is
on
when the
function is activated.
With touch screen
The settings are adjusted via the vehicle configuration menu. CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Lighting and visibility
► Then put the lighting control stalk ring in the
"AUT O" or "Dipped/main beam position".
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► A "headlamp flash" pauses the
function and the lighting system switches
to "automatic illumination of lamps" mode:
–

If the "AUT
O" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.
–

If the "AUT
O" and "Main beam"
indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to
dipped beam.
►

T

o reactivate the function, once again switch
the headlamps manually between dipped and
main beam.
Flashing the headlamps does not
deactivate the system.
The state of the system is stored when the
ignition is switched off.
The system may be disrupted or not work correctly:
–

When visibility conditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
–


If the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty

, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
–

If the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
–

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


V
ehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example, vehicles driving behind a safety
barrier on a motorway).
–

V
ehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
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 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.

If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
►
Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users.
►

Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►


Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h).
►

Do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On 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.
When manoeuvring, the driver must always
check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.
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 located 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 activating
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 CarM an uals 2 .c o m
