responsibility on the part of the driver.
You are advised to keep your feet near the pedals
at all times.

Operation
The cruise control is switched on
manually:
it requires a minimum vehicle speed of 25 mph
(40 km/h) and engagement of:
- fourth gear on a manual gearbox,
- second gear on an electronic or automatic
gearbox, in sequential driving mode,
- position A
on an electronic gearbox or D
on
an automatic gearbox.
The cruise control is switched off
manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the "electronic stability control"
system for safety reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.
This information also appears in the
head-up display.
For more information, refer to the
"Head-up display" section.

Lighting left on audible
signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the
vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the
ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes
into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging
the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
The daytime running
lamps can be activated
and deactivated via the
configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switch
off the ignition, but you can always
switch it on again using the lighting
control stalk.
Daytime running lamps
(LEDs)
They come on when the engine is started.
Depending on the country of sale or where
required by regulations, they are used for:
- daytime running lamps in day mode and
sidelamps in night mode (they are brighter
when daytime running lamps),
or
- sidelamps in day and night mode.

The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps 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 activation of
the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
Activation
Turn the ring to the "AUTO "
position,
automatic illumination of headlamps is
activated and a message is displayed in
the screen.
Deactivation
Turn the ring to another position.
Deactivation is accompanied by a message
in the screen.
Association with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic lighting provides
the "guide-me-home" lighting with the following
additional options after the ignition is switched
off:
- selection of the lighting duration of 15, 30
or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters in
the vehicle configuration menu,
- automatic activation of "guide-me-home"
lighting when automatic illumination of
headlamps is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction
of the sunshine sensor,
the lighting comes on, this
warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. In this
case, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
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.

Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
Within one minute of switching off the
ignition, operate the lighting control stalk
up or down depending on the traffic side
(for example: when parking on the left;
lighting control stalk upwards; the right
hand sidelamps are on).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the middle position or
switch on the ignition. Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has
been switched off makes the exit of the vehicle's
occupants easier when the light is poor.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
Switching on
Within one minute after switching of the
ignition, "flash" the headlamps using the
lighting stalk.
A further "headlamp flash" switches the
function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches
off automatically after a set time (this time is
programmable in the configuration menu).
The system may suffer inter ference or
not work correctly:
- under conditions of poor visibility
(for example, snowfall, heavy rain
or thick fog, ...),
- if the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of
the camera,
- if the vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect:
- road users that do not have their
own lighting, such as pedestrians,
- road users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running
behind a safety barrier (on a
motor way, for example),
- road users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.

When the dipped or main beam headlamps
are on, this function, allows the light beams to
better follow the road.
The use of this function, coupled with the
xenon headlamps and the cornering lighting,
considerably improves the quality of your
lighting round bends.

rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view
mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of
the rainfall.

instruction has been accepted. Briefly push the control stalk
downwards again, or place the
control stalk in another position
(Int, 1 or 2).

Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with
the sunshine sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.
Have it checked by CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the windscreen
wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement of the
blades. It can also be useful, in winter, to
detach the blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the
"flat-blade" type of wiper blades, it is
advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy
water,
- avoid using them to retain
cardboard on the windscreen,
- replace them at the first signs of
wear.
Any action on the wiper stalk in the minute
after switching off the ignition places the
blades vertically on the screen.
To park the blades again, switch on the
ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
