Automatic Illumination Of Headlamps - PEUGEOT 3008 Handbook

Visibility

Automatic illumination of headlamps

When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps, sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps
are switched on automatically, 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
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.
Activation
 Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position. The
activation of the function is accompanied
by the display of a message in the screen.
100
Deactivation
 Turn the ring to another position.
Deactivation of the function is accompanied
by the display of a message in the screen.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
sunshine sensor, the lighting comes
on, this warning lamp is displayed in
the instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied by an audible
signal.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient 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 windscreen
behind the rear view mirror; the
associated functions would no longer
be controlled.
Automatic "guide-me-
home" lighting
When the automatic illumination of headlamps
function is activated, under low ambient
light the dipped beams headlamps come on
automatically when the ignition is switched off.
Programming
Activation or deactivation, as well as the
duration of the guide-me-home lighting, is set
in the vehicle configuration menu.
