Visibility
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
- under conditions of poor visibility(for example, snowfall, heavy rainor thick fog, ...),
- if the windscreen is dir ty, 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 amotorway, for example),
- road users at the top or bottom of a steep slope, on twisty roads, oncrossroads.Switching off
)
In the "Driving assistance"menu, press the button, its
indicator lamp goes o
ff and
the the system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps" mode. To reactivate the s
ystem, flash the headlampsagain.
Depending on thesituation, one of these two indicator lamps comes on.
Switching on
)
Put the lighting control stalk ring
in the "AUTO" position.
)
In the " Driving assistance"
menu, press the button, its
indicator lamp comes on.
Operation
- dipped beam is maintained, this
indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel.
)Flash the headlamps(going beyond the point
of resistance) to activate
the function.
Once the function is activated, the system
operates as follows:
If the ambient li
ght level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
- m
ain beam comes on
automatically: this indicator lamp
comes on in the instrument panel. If the ambient li
ght level is sufficient and/or
if the traffic conditions do not allow illumination
of the main beam headlamps:
Pause
If the situation requires a change of headlampbeam, driver can take over at any time.
) Flashing the headlamps
again pauses the
function and thesystem changes to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode:
- i
f the AUTO indicator lamp was on in green, the system changes to main
beam,
- i
f the AUTO indicator lamp was on in
blue, the system changes to dippedbeam.

Cornering lighting
With dipped or main beams, this system makes use of the beam from a front foglamp to
illuminate the inside of a bend, when the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (approximately 40 km/h)(urban driving, winding road, intersections, parking manoeuvres...).w
ith cornering lighting
without cornering lighting
Switching on
This system starts:
- when the corresponding direction indicator
is switched on,
or
- from a cer tain angle of rotation of the steering wheel.
Switching off
The system does not operate:
- below a cer tain angle of rotation of thesteering wheel,
- above 25 mph (40 km/h),
- when reverse gear is engaged.
The cornering lighting can be activated or deactivated in the "Driving assistance menu"menu, then "Vehicle settings".

Practical information
Changing a bulb
For H7 type bulbs with lugs... take care to observe their correct installation so asto ensure the best lighting performance.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D5S-25W) must be replaced by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
Front lamps
Model with xenon headlamps
1.Directional dipped beam headlamps(D5S-25W).2.Main beam headlamps(H7-55W).3.Daytime running lamps / sidelamps (6 light emitting diodes - LEDs).4.Direction indicators(6 light emitting diodes - LEDs).5.Front foglamps(H11- 55W).
Model with halogen headlamps
1.Dipped beam headlamps (H7-55W).2.Main beam headlamps (H7-55W).3.Daytime running lamps/sidelamps(4 light emitting diodes - LEDs).4.
Direction indicators (PWY24W).5.Foglamps(H11- 55W).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal surface of the glass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
Changing the light emitting diode-LED lamps
For replacement, contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop.
