Automatic headlamp
dipping
For more information, refer to the
General recommendations for
automatic lighting systems.
With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the
"AUTO" position and the function activated on
the touch screen, this system automatically
switches between dipped and main beam
headlamps, according to lighting and traffic
conditions, using a camera located at the top of
the windscreen.
This system is a driving aid.
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.
The system becomes operational when
the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the function is no longer operational.
Activation/Deactivation
It is set via the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when switching off the ignition.
Operation
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic
conditions permit:
– The main beam headlamps
come on automatically. These
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam headlamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
light up on the instrument panel.
The function is deactivated if the foglamps
are switched on or if the system detects poor
visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain,
snowfall).
When the foglamps are switched off or when the
visibility conditions become favourable again, the
function is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the
function is deactivated.
Lighting and visibility
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
► Switch the headlamps manually between
dipped and main beam to pause the function.
If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator
lamps were on, the system changes to main
beam.
If the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator lamps
were on, the system changes to dipped beam.
► To reactivate the function, once again switch
the headlamps manually between dipped and
main beam.
Malfunction
If a malfunction occurs with the system or
the camera, this warning lamp lights up
on the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
