Model with rear foglamp only Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamp are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They
should only be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
m a y d e t e c t s u f fi c i e n t l i g h t .
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamp when
they are no longer necessary.
Lighting on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual light-
ing mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE XENON 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 lamp is
displayed on the in-
strument panel, ac-
companied by an audible signal and a
message on the multifunction screen.
The system then places your head-
lamps in the lowest position.
If a malfunction occurs, do not
touch the xenon bulbs. Contact a
CITROËN dealer.
DIRECTIONAL LIGHTING
When the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on, this function ena-
bles the light beam to follow the di-
rection of the road.
The use of this function, coupled
with the xenon headlamps only,
considerably improves the quality of
your lighting when cornering.
