In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Operating fault

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).






Front parking sensors



The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).

Automatic headlamp dipping


Switching on

System which automatically changes between
dipped and main beam according to the lighting
and traffic conditions, using a camera located
in the rear view mirror.


Put the lighting control stalk ring
in the "AUTO" position.

This automatic headlamp dipping
system is a driving aid. The driver
remains responsible for the vehicle's
lighting, its correct use for the prevailing
conditions of light, visibility and traffic
and obser vation of driving and vehicle
regulations.

Flash the headlamps (pull
the stalk beyond the point
of resistance) to activate
the function.
This indicator lamp comes
on in the instrument panel
to confirm activation.



Press the button, its indicator
lamp comes on.

Switching off




Press the button, its indicator
lamp goes off, the lighting
system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode.



Pause




Flashing the headlamps
again pauses the
function and the lighting
system changes to
"automatic illumination of
headlamps" mode.


Flash the headlamps
again to reactivate the
system.


The system will be operational as soon as
you have exceeded 15 mph (25 km/h).
If the speed drops below 9 mph (15 km/h),
the system no longer operates.


Operation

If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
Once activated, the system operates as follows:


- if there is adequate light and/or if the traffic
conditions do not allow the use of main
beam, then dipped beam is maintained,

- if the light level is low and the traffic
conditions allow, main beam comes on
automatically.

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.
