Peugeot Rifter 2018-2019 Owner's Manual Lighting and visibility

61Lighting and visibility4Lighting control stalkMain lightingAutomatic illumination of lamps/daytime running lampsSidelamps onlyDipped or main beam headlampsOperation of the selected lighting is confirmed by the illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp.In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal surface of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.Headlamp dippingPull the stalk to switch between dipped and main beam headlamps.In "AUTO" and sidelamps modes, the driver can switch on the main beam headlamps temporarily ("headlamp flash") by maintaining a pull on the stalk.Foglamps selection ringRear foglampsThey operate with the sidelamps on.►Rotate the ring forwards to switch them on and backwards to switch them off.When the lighting is switched off automatically ("AUTO" position), the foglamps and the dipped beam headlamps will remain on.With front and rear foglampsThey operate with the dipped beam headlamps on, in manual or auto mode.Turn and release the ring:►once forwards to switch on the front foglamps and then a second time for the rear foglamps.►once backwards to switch off the rear foglamps and then a second time for the front foglamps.If the lighting is switched off automatically ("AUTO" position) or the dipped beam headlamps are switched off manually, the foglamps and sidelamps will remain on.►Turn the ring backwards to switch the foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch off.When the lighting is left onAn audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the ignition off and in manual lighting mode.In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
62Lighting and visibilityDaytime running lamps / SidelampsThe front lamps light up automatically when the engine starts.They provide the following functions:–Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk in the "AUTO" position with adequate light level).–Sidelamps (lighting control stalk in the "AUTO" position with low light levels or "Sidelamps only” or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").The LEDs are brighter when operating as daytime running lamps.Parking lampsSide markers for the vehicle by illumination of the sidelamps on the traffic side only.►Depending on version, within one minute of switching off the ignition, operate the lighting control stalk up or down depending on the traffic side (for example: when parking on the left; The lighting goes off when you switch off the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.Travelling abroad If using your vehicle in a country that drives on the other side of the road, the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid dazzling on-coming drivers.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.In good or rainy weather, by both day and night, use of the front foglamps and the rear foglamps are prohibited. In these situations, the power of their beams may dazzle other drivers. They should only be used in fog or falling snow.In these weather conditions, it is your responsibility to switch on the foglamps and dipped headlamps manually as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.Switch off the front and rear foglamps when they are no longer necessary.Never look too closely at the luminous beam of LED headlamps: risk of serious eye injury.Direction indicators►Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control stalk, beyond the point of resistance.Three flashes►Press briefly upwards or downwards, without going beyond the point of resistance; the direction indicators will flash 3 times.Automatic headlamp illuminationWhen 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 the automatic rain sensitive 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.►Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position. When the function is activated, a message is also displayed.►Turn the ring to another position. An onscreen message is displayed to confirm that the function has been deactivated.MalfunctionIn the event of a malfunction of the sunshine sensor, the lighting comes on and this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and/or a message.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, located on the dashboard or at the top of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror (depending on equipment); the associated functions would no longer be controlled.
63Lighting and visibility4Daytime running lamps / SidelampsThe front lamps light up automatically when the engine starts.They provide the following functions:–Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk in the "AUTO" position with adequate light level).–Sidelamps (lighting control stalk in the "AUTO" position with low light levels or "Sidelamps only” or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").The LEDs are brighter when operating as daytime running lamps.Parking lampsSide markers for the vehicle by illumination of the sidelamps on the traffic side only.►Depending on version, within one minute of switching off the ignition, operate the lighting control stalk up or down depending on the traffic side (for example: when parking on the left; lighting control stalk upwards; the right-hand sidelamps come on).This is confirmed by an audible signal and illumination of the corresponding direction indicator lamp in the instrument panel.To switch off the parking lamps, return the lighting control stalk to the central position.Guide-me-home lightingManualSwitching on/off►With the ignition off, "flash" the headlamps using the lighting control stalk to switch the function on or off.Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off automatically at the end of a given period of time.AutomaticWith the ring in the "AUTO" position, when the light is poor, the dipped beam headlamps come on automatically when the ignition is switched off.The activation, deactivation and duration of guide-me-home lighting are set in the vehicle configuration menu.Automatic exterior welcome lightingWith the "Automatic headlamp illumination" function activated, when the light is poor, the sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps come on automatically when the vehicle is unlocked.Activation, deactivation and the duration of the exterior welcome lighting are set in the vehicle configuration menu.Automatic headlamp dippingThis system automatically changes between dipped and main beam headlamps according to the brightness and driving 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 for the prevailing conditions of light, visibility and traffic, and for observation of driving and vehicle regulations.

These indicator lamps come on on the instrument panel.If the ambient light level is very low and traffic conditions permit:–The main beam headlamps come on automatically. These indicator lamps come on on the instrument panel.The function is deactivated if the fog lamps are switched on or the system detects dense fog.When the fog lamps are switched off or the vehicle leaves the area of dense fog, the function is automatically reactivated.This indicator lamp goes out when the function is deactivated.PauseIf the situation requires a change of headlamp beam, the driver can take over at any time.►A "headlamp flash" pauses the function and the system changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode:–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 system, flash the headlamps again.The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:–under conditions of poor visibility (snow, heavy rain, etc.),–if the windscreen in front of the camera is dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a sticker, etc.),–if the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs.When the system detects thick fog, it temporarily deactivates the function.The system is not able to detect:–road users that do not have their own lighting, such as pedestrians,–vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for example: vehicles running behind a safety barrier on a motorway),–vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.Clean the windscreen regularly, particularly the area in front of the camera.The internal surface of the windscreen can also become misted around the camera. In humid and cold weather, demist the windscreen regularly.Do not allow snow to accumulate on the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could obstruct the detection camera.

Under extremely hot or cold conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are not stuck to the windscreen before operating the wipers.Manual controlsThe wipers are controlled directly by the driver.With manual wiping (intermittent)With AUTO wipingWindscreen wipers►To select the wiping speed: raise or lower the stalk to the desired position.Fast wiping (heavy rain)Normal wiping (moderate rain)Intermittent wiping (proportional to the vehicle’s speed)OfforAutomatic wiping (press down, then release).Single wipe (pull the stalk briefly towards you).Windscreen wash►Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and hold.The screenwash and windscreen wipers operate for as long as the control stalk is pulled.A final wiping cycle is performed when screenwashing ends.
66Lighting and visibilityAfter refitting a windscreen wiper blade►To return the wiper blades to their initial position, switch on the ignition and operate the wiper control stalk.Changing a wiper bladeRemoving/refitting at the front►Carry out these wiper blade replacement operations from the driver's side.►Starting with the wiper blade farthest from you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise it as far as possible.Take care not to hold the arms at the jet locations.Do not touch the wiper blades. Risk of irreparable deformation.Do not release them while moving them. Risk of damaging the windscreen!On vehicles fitted with automatic air conditioning, any action on the screenwash control temporarily closes the air intake, to avoid odours inside the passenger compartment.The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper arm.Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and reduces screenwash fluid consumption.In some cases, depending on the contents or colour of the fluid and on the exterior brightness, the liquid spray may be barely noticeable.To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the windscreen washer if the windscreen washer reservoir is empty.Only operate the windscreen washer if there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen and hindering visibility. Always use windscreen washer fluid suitable for low temperatures during the winter period.Never top up with water.Rear wiperRear wiper selection ring:Off.Intermittent wiping (proportional to the speed of the vehicle).Wash-wipe (set duration).Reverse gearWhen reverse gear is engaged, the rear wiper will come into operation automatically if the windscreen wipers are operating.Activation/DeactivationActivation or deactivation is set via the vehicle configuration menu.This system is activated by default.If a significant accumulation of snow or ice is present, or when using a bicycle carrier on the boot, deactivate the automatic rear wiper.Special position of the windscreen wipersThis maintenance position is used while cleaning or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper blades from the windscreen.To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:–handle them with care,–clean them regularly using soapy water,–avoid using them to retain cardboard on the windscreen,–replace them at the first signs of wear.Before removing a windscreen wiper blade►Actuating the wiper control stalk within one minute of switching off the ignition will position the wiper blades vertically.►Proceed with the desired operation or replace the wiper blades.
