This additional lighting is combined with the main beam or dipped beam when the steering wheel angle sensor registers a value greater than 50 degrees or 25 degrees depending on vehicle speed.

Activation of the direction indicator triggers directional lighting independently of vehicle speed as soon as the steering wheel angle reaches 20 degrees, projecting light onto the inside of the bend and the approaches to junctions, even while waiting at a Stop sign.

To ensure that the driver and pedestrians are not disturbed by a flashing light, the computer instructs the light to go out when the steering wheel angle is between 15 degrees and 20 degrees.

The low height of the "pencil" light beam prevents glare.


Automatic activation of the dipped beam present on many versions has a special position on the light switch and can therefore be activated / de-activated even while driving.

The light sensor is coupled with the rain sensor so that when it rains for example, the automatic front windscreen wipers and the headlamps are activated at the same time to ensure both convenience and safety.



Clear visibility in all weathers...

At the front, Peugeot 207 is equipped with windscreen wipers with fl at rubber blades and a metallic core to ensure that the windscreen is wiped effi ciently and cleanly.

When automatic windscreen wipers are fitted, a new 4-position switch is also fitted, this includes an "intermittent" and automatic position, to take into account possible variations in the intensity of the rain.

For enhanced rear visibility, the rear windscreen wiper is linked to reverse gear and is activated automatically when the front windscreen wipers are operating.



Enhanced rear visibility...

The door mirrors have a large surface area ensuring excellent vision and improved safety for pedestrians.

On some versions, they can be folded electrically either by means of the remote control plip, or manually by means of a dedicated switch incorporated in the electric window control panel.

The electro-chrome interior rear-view mirror fi tted on some versions uses technology to improve comfort and safety, further enhancing the status of Peugeot 207.



Electro-chrome interior rear-view mirror? A technical aside

This technology allows the interior rear-view mirror to adapt electrically and automatically to "day" or "night" conditions. This function, which can be switched off, is activated by means of a push-button switch equipped with a green LED indicating that the unit is on standby.

The electro-chrome rear-view mirror itself consists of two thin layers of glass (1.6 mm) between which a gel is deployed in a few hundredths of a second by means of electrolysis. It is controlled by sensors (cadmium-free) which continuously compare the previous and subsequent light level.
