Peugeot 308: 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 configured in the Settings > Vehicle touch screen application.

The state of the system is stored when the ignition is switched off.

When the system detects thick fog, it temporarily deactivates the function.

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.

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.
