Lighting and visibility

Pause

When the system detects thick fog, it

temporarily deactivates the function.

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.

If the situation requires a change of headlamp

beam, the driver can take over at any time.

Operation

► Switch the headlamps manually between

dipped and main beam to pause the function.

If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator

lamps were on, the system changes to main

beam.

If the ambient light level is very low and traffic

conditions permit:

The system is active from 25 mph (40

km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph (20

km/h).

► The main beam head-

lamps come on auto-

matically. These indica-

tor lamps light up on the

instrument panel.

If the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator lamps

were on, the system changes to dipped beam.

Activation/Deactivation

► To reactivate the function, once again switch

the headlamps manually between dipped and

main beam.

► Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in

the “AUTO” position.

If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the

traffic conditions do not allow the main beam

headlamps to be lit:

This indicator lamp comes on in the

instrument panel.

Malfunction

If a malfunction occurs with the

system or the camera, this warning

lamp lights up on the instrument

panel, accompanied by an audible

signal and a message.

► The dipped beam head-

lamps remain lit. These

indicator lamps light up

on the instrument pan-

el.

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.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

The function is deactivated if the foglamps

are switched on or if the system detects

poor visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain,

snowfall).

When the foglamps are switched off or when the

visibility conditions become favourable again, the

function is automatically reactivated.

Peugeot Matrix LED

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.

For more information, refer to

the General recommendations for

automatic lighting systems.

This indicator lamp goes out when the

function is deactivated.

Available only on versions equipped with Full

LED headlamps with Matrix Beam function.

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.

Lighting and visibility

Oncoming vehicle

"Town" mode

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.

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.

The width of the beam is increased to better

distinguish hazards on the side of the road

(pedestrians, intersections).

By default, the function starts in "Country" mode.

After a few seconds, the function switches to

"Town" mode as long as the speed is below 19

mph (30 km/h).

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.

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.

This mode is deactivated after a few seconds

above 31 mph (50 km/h).

Followed vehicle

Exiting an illuminated area

"Country" mode

The lamp segments gradually light up from the

inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the

main beams.

Anti-glare for traffic signs

Some traffic signs may be more dazzling to

the driver due to the light reflection of LED

headlamps.

The system can modulate the light intensity

sent to traffic signs and thus reduce the light

reflection to avoid driver glare.

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.

This lighting provides a higher light beam, an

increased intensity of the headlamps and a

decreased intensity of the modules.

This mode is active as long as the rear foglamps

are switched off and/or the front wipers are

activated for less than 2 minutes.

Between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 43 mph (70

km/h), with the rear foglamps off and if the

front wipers activated for more than 2 minutes

continuously, the function switches to "Bad

weather" mode.

High beam boost

The high beam amplification provides an

additional illumination in the centre of the high

beam to improve the light distribution when

driving at higher speeds.

Lighting and visibility

"Foggy" mode

Pause

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.

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.

Wiper control stalk

Before operating the wipers in wintry

conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost

from the windscreen and around the wiper

arms and blades.

► To reactivate the function, manually switch

the dipped/main beam headlamps again.

This mode is activated if the vehicle is moving at

a speed between 0 and 43 mph (70 km/h) and

the rear foglamps are on.Beyond 43 mph (70

km/h), the function switches to "Motorway" mode

even if the rear foglamps are activated.

Malfunction

In the first case, this warning lamp

is displayed on the instrument panel,

accompanied by a message if the

sensor is masked.

Do not operate the wipers on a dry

windscreen. In extremely hot or cold

weather, check that the wiper blades are not

stuck to the windscreen before operating the

wipers.

"Motorway" mode

This is a normal behavior, which does not

request the support of a qualified workshop.

Stop the vehicle and verify if the front camera is

covered by dirt, mud, sand, snow, ice or anything

preventing the sensing.

After using an automatic car wash, you

may temporarily notice abnormal noises

and poorer wiping performance. You do not

need to replace the wiper blades.

The system is operational again after the

detection field has been cleaned.

At any time, this lighting mode can be triggered

by the Automatic headlamp dipping function

independent of the Adaptive Frontlight System

function.

This mode automatically adapts to the speed

and angle of the steering wheel.

Beyond 55 mph (90 km/h), the power and range

of the lighting is maximised to best illuminate the

length and width of the roadway.

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.

With intermittent wipers

With automatic wipers

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualified workshop.

"Leveling" mode

For the function automatic correction of the

dynamic site correction, the system takes into

account the acceleration and braking of the

vehicle. This in addition to the measurement of

the attitude via body pitch sensors.
