Switching on the lighting
after switching off the
ignition

To reactivate the lighting control stalk,
turn the ring A to position "0" - lighting
off, then to the position of your choice.
When the driver's door is opened, a
temporary audible signal warns you that
the vehicle's lighting is on.

period which depends on the state of
charge of the battery (entry to energy
economy mode).

Daytime running lamps /
Sidelamps

The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in these
lamps, front and rear, come on automatically
when the engine is started.
They provide the following functions:
-

Daytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk at position "0" or "AUTO" with
adequate light level).

Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at
position "AUTO" with a low ambient light
level or "Sidelamps only" or "Main or
dipped beam headlamps").

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.

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.

Switching off the lighting

When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for the
dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-

indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
