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 instru-
ment panel, accom-
panied by an audible
signal and a message on the multi-
function screen.
The system then places your head-
lamps in the lowest position.
If a malfunction occurs, do not
touch the xenon bulbs. Consult a
CITROËN dealer.
When the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on, this function en-
ables 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.
