This system puts the engine temporar-
ily on standby during stops in the traf-
fi c (traffi c lights, traffi c jams, etc...). The
engine restarts automatically as soon
as you want to move off. The Stop &
Start system allows reductions of fuel
consumption and exhaust emissions,
as well as noise levels when stationary.

Switch off the headlamps and front
foglamps when the level of light does
not require their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving
off, particularly in winter; your vehicle
will warm up much faster while driving.
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting
your multimedia devices (fi lm, music,
video game...), you will contribute to-
wards limiting the consumption of elec-
trical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices be-
fore leaving the vehicle.
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.
At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
- before a long journey,
- at each change of season,
- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and ob-
serve the schedule of operations rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
When refuelling, do not continue after
the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the fi rst 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption set-
tle down to a consistent average.

LIGHTING CONTROLS
System for selection and control of the
various front and rear lamps providing
the vehicle's lighting.
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the
vehicle are designed to adapt the driver's
visibility progressively according to the
climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,
- main beam headlamps to see clear-
ly when the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are provided to meet the
requirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- rear foglamps,
- front foglamps with cornering lighting,
- directional headlamps for improved
visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be more
visible during the day,
- guide-me-home and welcome light-
ing to facilitate access to the vehicle,
- parking lamps as vehicle position
markers.
Programming
The setting of some functions can be
adjusted:
- daytime running lamps,
- automatic illumination of headlamps,
- guide-me-home lighting,
- welcome lighting,
- directional lighting.
In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the inter-
nal surface of the glass of the
headlamps and rear lamps is nor-
mal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

When the headlamps switch off with
automatic illumination of headlamps
(AUTO model) or when the dipped
beam headlamps are switched off
manually, the foglamps and sidelamps
remain on.
Turn the ring rearwards to switch
off the foglamps, the sidelamps will
then switch off.
In good or rainy weather, by both
day and night, the front foglamps
and the rear foglamps are pro-
hibited. In these situations, the
power of their beams may dazzle
other drivers. They should only
be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you
should switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps
manually, as the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the
front and rear foglamps when
they are no longer necessary.

Automatic illumination of
headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps are switched on automatically,
without any action on the part of the
driver, when a low level of external light
is detected or in certain cases of activa-
tion of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.
Activation
Turn ring A
to the "AUTO"
position.
The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a mes-
sage in the screen.
Deactivation
Turn ring A
to a position other
than "AUTO"
. Deactivation is ac-
companied by a message in the
screen.
Coupling with the automatic "Guide-
me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps provides "guide-
me-home" lighting with the following
additional options:
- selection of the lighting duration to
15, 30 or 60 seconds in the settings
in the vehicle confi guration menu
(except in the case of the mono-
chrome screen A, for which the
duration is set: 60 seconds),
- automatic activation of "guide-me-
home" lighting when automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps is in operation.
In the event of a fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lighting
come on, this warning lamp is
displayed on the instrument panel and/or a
message appears in the screen, accompa-
nied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN or a qualifi ed work-
shop workshop.
Operating fault
In fog or snow, the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient
light. Therefore, the lighting will
not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, coupled with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the
windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.
