Automatic Illumination Of Headlamps; Headlamp Adjustment; Daytime Running Lamps - PEUGEOT ION Handbook

Daytime running lamps

Special daytime lighting so that the vehicle can
be seen more easily.
The daytime running lamps come on
automatically when starting the motor, if no
other lighting is on.
They cannot be deactivated.
Although these lamps are located in
the same unit as the front foglamp, they
operate with a specific bulb.
Their use is covered by road vehicle
lighting regulations.

Automatic illumination of headlamps

With the main lighting control ring in the AUTO
position, the sidelamps and dipped beam
headlamps come on automatically, without any
action by the driver, when a low level of ambient
light is detected.
When the light returns to a sufficient level or the
wipers are switched off, the lighting is switched
off automatically.
The sensor is located at the base of the windscreen.
In foggy weather or in snow, the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light. The lighting will not come on
automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
the associated functions will no longer
be controlled.
Automatic lighting off
When the lighting stalk is in the "AUTO"
position, if the ignition switch is in the "LOCK"
or "ACC" position or if the key has been
removed, the lighting switches off automatically
when the driver's door is opened.
