Do I have to adjust the LED headlights on my Peugeot 3008 GT to drive in Europe?

I cannot get an answer from Peugeot on what I have to do, if anything, to adjust the headlights on my 2021 Peugeot 3008 GT Premium for driving on the Continent. My model has automatic levelling so I can’t 'turn them down'. In forums, some say LED gets too hot for stickers, some say the LED projection is 'flat' so do nothing. I don’t want to drive illegally so would be grateful if you can help.

This varies between car manufacturers. Check your vehicle manual to see if this is mentioned. Generally speaking, LED lights produce a flat beam so there is much less chance of dazzling oncoming vehicles when driving on the other side. However, in some cars you can adjust the beam for driving on the right via the car's infotainment system.
