With the ignition off, pull the lighting control  
stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to  
activate/ deactivate the function.  
Do not touch the Peugeot Pixel LED

is detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the

the part of the driver. They may also come on if  
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic  
operation of the windscreen wipers.
