Lighting and visibility
4Exterior lighting control
stalk
Main lighting



Automatic illumination of lamps/daytime running lamps
Sidelamps only
Dipped or main beam headlamps
Headlamp dipping

► Pull the lighting control stalk to switch
between dipped and main beam headlamps.
In "AUTO" and sidelamps mode, pull the lighting
control stalk to switch the main beam headlamps
on directly ("headlamp flash").
Display
Illumination of the corresponding indicator
lamp on the instrument panel confirms that the
selected lighting is on.
A fault with a lamp is signalled by the permanent illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal.
Rear foglamps
They only work if the dipped or main beam headlamps are on.


► Rotate the ring forwards/backwards to turn
them on/off.
When the lighting is switched off automatically
("
AUTO" position) the foglamps and the dipped
beam headlamps remain on.
Switching on the foglamps is prohibited
in clear weather or in rain, both day and
night. In these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers. They must
only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may
vary depending on country).
Do not forget to switch off the foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for the
dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-
me-home lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "AUTO" position, then to the
desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.

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.
