Lighting and visibility
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!


Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with manual
headlamp beam height adjustment:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road, the
dipped beam headlamps must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Consult a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
These LED lamps at the front of the vehicle light
up automatically when the engine starts.
They perform the following functions:
–

Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk
at position

"AUTO" with adequate ambient light).
–

Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position
"

AUTO" with low ambient light or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
In daytime running lamps mode, the
light-emitting diodes are brighter.
Direction indicators

► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you keep the direction indicators on for
more than 20 seconds, the volume of the
audible signal will increase if the speed is
above 50 mph (80 km/h).
Three flashes
► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
The brightness of the daytime running lamps is reduced when the direction indicators are on.
Parking lamps
(Depending on version) Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps
on the traffic side only.
►

Within one minute after switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
upwards or downwards, depending on the side
of the traffic (e.g.
when parking on the right, push
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the
left).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
►
T
o switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
Headlamp beam height
adjustment
Manual headlamp
adjustment




To avoid dazzling other road users, the height
of the headlamp beams must be adjusted
according to the load in the vehicle.

Lighting and visibility
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 25 mph
(40 km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph
(20

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.
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.
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.

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 is
displayed on the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal and 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.
