Peugeot 308: Peugeot Matrix LED Technology 2.0

For more information, refer to the General recommendations for automatic lighting systems.

Available only on versions equipped with Full LED headlamps with Matrix Beam function.

This system automatically adapts the main beam according to the driving conditions, so that optimum illumination is maintained for the driver, without causing a nuisance to other road users.

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 is active from 25 mph (40 km/h) and deactivates below 12 mph (20 km/h).

Activation/Deactivation

► Place the ring of the lighting control stalk in the "AUTO" position.

This indicator lamp comes on in the instrument panel.

It is configured in the Settings > Vehicle touch screen application.

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

When deactivated, the lighting system changes to "Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.

It is recommended that you deactivate the function in foggy or snowy conditions or in case of heavy mist.

The function temporarily is deactivated when the system detects thick fog or when the foglamps are switched on manually. This is signalled by the indicator lamp going off on the instrument panel.

Operation

Using a camera, the system detects the driving conditions (brightness, lights from oncoming or followed vehicles, road turns) and adapts the beams of the main headlamps accordingly.

The modules that make up the main beams switch on and off gradually, segment by segment, depending on the driving conditions detected.

Nominal main beam lighting is restored as soon as the vehicle is no longer detected by the system.

If the system is selected but the display on the instrument panel and the alerts are not available, the indicator lamp comes on in grey.

Followed vehicle

When approaching a vehicle from behind, only those lamp segments directed at the followed vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" so as not to dazzle its driver.

Oncoming vehicle

When an oncoming vehicle approaches, only those lamp segments directed at this vehicle go off, thereby creating a "tunnel" during the duration of the approach.

Entering an illuminated area

At the entrance to an illuminated area (e.g. a town), the lamp segments are gradually switched off from the outside to the inside of the vehicle to switch to the dipped beams.

Exiting an illuminated area

The lamp segments gradually light up from the inside to the outside of the vehicle to restore the main beams.

Pause

If the situation requires a change of headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any time.

► Switch the dipped/main beam headlamps manually to pause the function.

The lighting system changes to "Automatic illumination of lamps" mode.

► To reactivate the function, manually switch the dipped/main beam headlamps again.

Malfunction

In the first case, this warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by a message if the sensor is masked.

This is a normal behavior, which does not request the support of a qualified workshop.

Stop the vehicle and verify if the front camera is covered by dirt, mud, sand, snow, ice or anything preventing the sensing.

The system is operational again after the detection field has been cleaned.

In the second case, this warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message if a malfunction occurs with the adaptive headlamp lighting or the camera.

Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the windscreen behind the interior rear view mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.
