Lighting controls

Stalk for selecting and switching the vehicle's
front and rear exterior lamps.

Main lighting

the various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to adapt the lighting progressively
in relation to the climatic conditions and so
ensure the best visibility for the driver:
-

sidelamps, to be seen,

-

dipped beam headlamps to see without
dazzling other drivers,

-

main beam headlamps to see clearly when
the road is clear.

Additional lighting

Other lamps are provided to fulfil the
requirements of particular driving conditions:
-

a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,

-

front foglamps for even better visibility,

-

daytime running lamps to be seen during
the day.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

Other lighting functions are also available:
-

automatic illumination of
headlamps,

-

guide-me-home lighting,

-

welcome lighting.

Travelling abroad

If using your vehicle in a country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.
