Peugeot 2008: Lighting and visibility / Guide-me-home and welcome lighting
Guide-me-home lighting
Automatic
With the ring in the "AUTO" position, when the light is poor, the
dipped beam headlamps come on automatically when the ignition is switched off.
You can activate/deactivate this
function and adjust the guide-me-home lighting duration in the Driving /
Vehicle touch screen menu.
Manual

- With the ignition off, pull the lighting control stalk toward you
("headlamp flash") to activate/deactivate the function.
Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off automatically after a period of time.
Welcome lighting
When the vehicle is unlocked, if the ambient light is low and the "Automatic
illumination of headlamps" function is activated, this system automatically
turns on certain exterior lamps as well as certain lamps in the passenger
compartment.
You can activate/deactivate this
function and adjust the welcome lighting duration in the Driving / Vehicle
touch screen menu.
Door mirror spotlamps
These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle by lighting the ground near
the front doors.
The spotlamps come on automatically:
- when the vehicle is unlocked.
- when a door is opened.
- when a request to locate the vehicle is received from the remote
control.
They also come on with the welcome lighting and guide-me-home lighting
functions.
They go off automatically after 30 seconds.
When the ring is at the "AUTO" position and a low level of ambient light is
detected by the rain/sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps, sidelamps and
dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the
part of the driver...
When the ring is in the "AUTO” position, this system automatically
switches between dipped and main beam headlamps according to the lighting and
traffic conditions, using a camera located at the top of the windscreen...
