AUTO

VISIBILITY

Automatic illumination of headlamps

When a low level of ambient light is de-

tected by a sunshine sensor, the num-

ber plate lamps, sidelamps and dipped

beam headlamps are switched on auto-

matically, without any action on the part

of the driver. They can also come on if

rain is detected, at the same time as

automatic operation of the windscreen

wipers.

As soon as the brightness returns to a

sufﬁ cient level or after the windscreen

wipers are switched off, the lamps are

switched off automatically.

 Turn the ring to the

"AUTO" posi-

tion. The activation of the function

is accompanied by the display of a

message in the screen.

Deactivation


Deactivation of the function is ac-

companied by the display of a mes-

sage in the screen.

In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-

sor may detect sufﬁ cient light. In

this case, the lighting will not come

on automatically.

Do not cover the sunshine sensor,

coupled with the rain sensor and

located in the centre of the wind-

screen behind the rear view mirror;

the associated functions would no

longer be controlled.

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF

XENON HEADLAMPS

Do not touch the xenon headlamp

bulbs.

Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

qualiﬁ ed workshop.

In order to avoid causing a nuisance to

other road users, this system corrects

the height of the xenon headlamp beams

automatically and when stationary, in re-

lation to the load in the vehicle.

If a malfunction occurs, this

warning lamp is displayed on

the instrument panel, accom-

panied by an audible signal and

DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING

When the dipped or main beam head-

lamps are on, this function enables the

light beams to provide improved lighting

of the side of the road when cornering.

The use of this function, from approxi-

mately 12 mph (20 km/h) and associ-

ated with the xenon headlamps only,

considerably improves the quality of

your lighting when cornering.

SAFETY

BRAKING ASSISTANCE

SYSTEMS

Group of supplementary systems which

help you to obtain optimum braking in

complete safety in emergency situations:

anti-lock braking system (ABS),

electronic brake force distribution

(EBFD),

emergency braking assistance (EBA).

Anti-lock braking system

and electronic brake force

distribution

Linked systems which improve the sta-

bility and manoeuvrability of your vehi-

cle when braking, in particular on poor

or slippery surfaces.

When braking in an emergency,

press very ﬁ rmly without releasing

the pressure.

When replacing wheels (tyres and

rims), ensure that they conform to

the manufacturer's recommenda-

tions.

Operating fault

If this warning lamp comes on,

accompanied by an audible

signal and a message in the

screen, it indicates a malfunc-

tion of the anti-lock braking system

which could result in loss of control of

the vehicle when braking.

If this warning lamp comes on,

together with the

STOP and

ABS warning lamps, accompa-

nied by an audible signal and

a message in the screen, it indicates a

malfunction of the electronic brake force

distribution which could result in loss of

control of the vehicle when braking.

Emergency braking assistance

System which, in an emergency, en-

ables you to obtain the optimum braking

pressure more quickly, thus reducing the

stopping distance.

Activation

The anti-lock braking system comes

into operation automatically when there

is a risk of wheel lock.

Normal operation of the ABS may make

itself felt by slight vibration of the brake

pedal.

Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the

brake pedal is pressed.

The effect of this is a reduction in the

resistance of the pedal and an increase

in braking efﬁ ciency.

When braking in an emergency,

press ﬁ rmly without releasing the

pressure.

You must stop as soon as it is safe

to do so.

In either case, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

EMERGENCY OR ASSISTANCE

CALL

This system allows you to make an

emergency or assistance call to the

emergency services or to the dedicated

PEUGEOT service.

For more information on the use of this

function, refer to the "Audio equipment

and telematics" section.
