AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE DIRECTIONAL HEADLAMPS
In order to avoid causing a nuisance
to other road users, this system cor-
rects the height of the xenon head-
lamps beam automatically and when
stationary, in relation to the load in
the vehicle. If a malfunction occurs,
this warning light is dis-
played on the instrument
panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the multi-
function display.
The system then places your head-
lamps in the lowest position.
Do not touch the xenon headlamps.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING
When the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on, this function
enables the light beam to follow the
direction of the road.
The use of this function, coupled
with the xenon headlamps only,
considerably improves the quality of
your lighting when cornering.
