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).  
Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control  
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.  
Daytime running lamps/  
Sidelamps  
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.  
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).  
These LED lamps at the front and rear 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").  
Three flashes  
Never look too closely at the light beam of  
LED technology lamps - risk of serious eye  
injury!  
Press briefly upwards or downwards, without  
going beyond the point of resistance; the  
direction indicators will flash 3 times.  
In daytime running lamps mode, the light-  
emitting diodes are brighter.  
Parking lamps

Welcome lighting  
When the vehicle is unlocked in low light  
conditions and the "Automatic illumination of  
headlamps" function is activated, this system  
automatically switches on:  
– On the outside, sidelamps, dipped beam  
headlamps and door mirror spotlamps.  
– Inside, courtesy lamps and footwell lighting.  
The automatic lighting systems use a detection  
camera, located at the top of the windscreen.  
Guide-me-home and  
welcome lighting  
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.  
– Vehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling  
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).  
– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep  
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.

Adaptive Frontlight  
System  
Available only on versions equipped with  
Peugeot Pixel LED headlamps.  
"Bad weather" mode  
This function has several lighting modes, specific  
to each driving situation.  
The intensity and direction of the main  
headlamps and the modules vary so as to  
increase or reduce the range of the lighting.The  
modules tilt so as to expand and direct the light  
beam to increase or decrease the lighting up of  
the sides of the road.The function shifts the light  
beam to the sides of the headlamp to ensure  
better illumination in curves.  
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).  
The beam is widened. The power of the modules  
is increased to enable the driver to see the road  
markings more easily, whilst the intensity of the  
main headlamps is reduced so as to improve the  
driver’s vision (taking reflections caused by a wet  
road into account).  
Between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 43 mph (70  
km/h), with the rear foglamps off, front wipers  
activated for many minutes continuously, the  
function switches to "Country" mode.  
This mode is deactivated after a few seconds  
above 31 mph (50 km/h).  
This function is a driving aid which cannot,  
in any circumstances, replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver who must  
continually adapt the driving of the vehicle to  
the visibility and traffic conditions.  
"Country" mode  
Activation/Deactivation  
"Foggy" mode

Lighting and visibility  
The Peugeot Pixel LED headlamps incorporate  
three LED modules:  
– a "Pixel" module that varies the number of  
LEDs lit and their intensity according to driving  
conditions. This module manages the light flows  
vertically and horizontally.  
-two "Low beam" modules whose intensity  
varies with the Adaptive Frontlight System mode  
selected.  
All these LED modules contribute to the lighting  
in the low beam and high beam positions.  
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.  
independent of the Adaptive Frontlight System  
function.  
This mode automatically adapts to the speed  
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.  
and angle of the steering wheel.  
Beyond 70 mph (110 km/h), the power and  
range of the lighting is maximised to best  
illuminate the length and width of the roadway.  
"Motorway" mode  
Static bending lighting  
In a bend situation, the light beam provides an  
additional illumination of the road to the right or  
left when the vehicle speed is 43 mph (70 km/h)  
or less.  
The system is triggered by curve radius  
thresholds and vehicle speed.  
The phases of increasing and decreasing light  
intensity are carried out gradually.  
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.  
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.  
Digital bending lighting  
In a bend situation, the light beam moves around  
the curve to match the main direction of the  
driver's eyes, regardless of the vehicle speed  
and the bend radius.  
The lateral intensities of the low beam are  
shifted in the appropriate direction of the curve.  
The system activates the filled pixel elements to  
increase/extend the light beam area.  
The system is active from 28 mph (45  
km/h) and deactivates below 22 mph (35  
km/h).

Exiting an illuminated area  
Followed vehicle  
The state of the system is stored when the  
ignition is switched off.  
The lamp segments gradually light up from the  
inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the  
main beams.

When deactivated, the lighting system changes  
to "Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.  
Highway restriction  
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.  
The system cannot detect the presence of  
oncoming vehicles on a roadway separated by  
a low wall or safety rail.  
Therefore, the system reduces the light beam on  
the side of the central separation in order not to  
dazzle the driver of an oncoming vehicle.  
In a bend situation, the restriction angle is  
adjusted according to the curve radius.  
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.  
Anti-glare for traffic signs  
Oncoming vehicle  
Operation  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon  
as the vehicle is no longer detected by the  
system.  
Pause  
If the system is selected but the dis-  
play on the instrument panel and the  
alerts are not available, the indicator  
lamp comes on in grey.  
Entering an illuminated area  
Pause If the situation requires a change of  
headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any  
time.  
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.  
Switch the dipped/main beam headlamps  
manually to pause the function.  
The lighting system changes to "Automatic  
illumination of lamps" mode.

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.  
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.  
Single wipe  
After the ignition has been switched off  
and the windscreen wiper is no longer  
operated (wiper control stalk set to 0 or no  
automatic wiping for more than 30 seconds),  
the wipers may move slightly at the foot of the  
windscreen.  
The system is operational again after the  
detection field has been cleaned.  
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.  
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.  
Windscreen wipers  
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is  
automatically reduced when the speed of  
the vehicle drops below 3 mph (5 km/h).  
When the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h)  
again, the wiping frequency returns to the  
original frequency (fast or normal).

sensor selected.  
A final wiping cycle is performed when  
screenwashing ends.  
The lower position corresponds to the lowest  
sensitivity of the sensor.  
The upper position corresponds to the highest  
sensitivity of the sensor.  
The higher the sensitivity, the faster the system  
reacts and increases the wiping frequency.  
A rotation of the ring from a lower position to a  
higher position triggers a confirmation wiping.  
The rainfall detection function uses a rain/  
sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the  
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.  
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the  
length of the wiper blade. This improves  
visibility and reduces screenwash fluid  
consumption.  
In certain weather conditions (e.g. fog,  
frost, snow, projections on salty roads), the  
driver may have to return to manual wiping.  
With automatic air conditioning, any action  
on the screenwash control results in  
temporary closure of the air intake to protect

recommendations  
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as  
long as the ring remains turned. A final wiping  
cycle is performed when screen washing ends.  
An additional jet is fitted above the number plate  
to clean the reversing camera (depending on  
version).  
Intermittent wiping  
Screenwash-wipe  
Do not remove the labels attached  
in different places on your vehicle.  
They include safety warnings as well as  
identification information for the vehicle.  
Changing a rear wiper blade  
If the ignition has been switched off with the rear  
wiper active, operate the ring to reactivate wiping  
when the ignition is switched on again (unless  
the ignition was off for less than 1 minute).  
The first rotation of the ring to the screenwash  
position triggers a single wipe. If the ring is then  
left in the intermittent wiping position, the rear  
wiper adopts a wiping speed dependent on that  
of the windscreen wipers and the speed of the  
vehicle.  
Depending on country regulations, certain  
safety equipment may be mandatory:  
high visibility safety vests, warning triangles,  
breathalysers, spare bulbs, spare fuses, fire  
extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps at the rear  
of the vehicle, etc.
