Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for
the dipped beam headlamps if automatic
guide-me-home lighting is activated.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.
Switching on the lighting when
switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control stalk,
turn the ring A to position "0"
- lighting
off, then to the position of your choice.
When the driver's door is opened, a
temporary audible signal warns you that
the vehicle's lighting is on.
They switch off automatically after a
period which depends on the state of
charge of the battery (entry to energy
economy mode).
daytime running lamps /
Sidelamps
(LE
ds)
The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) come on
automatically when the engine is started.
They provide the following functions:
-

D
aytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk in position " 0" or " AUTO " with
adequate light level).
-

S
idelamps (lighting control stalk in
position " AUTO" with low light level or
"Sidelamps only" or "Main or dipped beam
headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as
daytime running lamps.
Visibility

When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps,
s
idelamps and dipped beam headlamps
are switched on automatically, without any
action on the part of the driver. They can also
come on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the ambient light returns to a
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.
Activation
F Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position. The
activation of the function is accompanied
by the display of a message in the screen.
deactivation
F Turn the ring to another position. Deactivation of the function is
accompanied by the display of a message
in the screen. When the automatic illumination of headlamps
function is activated (lighting control stalk in the
"AUTO"
position), under low ambient light the
dipped beam headlamps remain on when the
ignition is switched off.
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.
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.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Programming
Automatic guide-me-home
lighting
Activation or deactivation, as well
as the duration of the guide-me-
home lighting, is set in the vehicle
configuration menu.
Automatic illumination of headlamps

Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
F
W
ithin 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

F Within one minute after switching of the
ignition, "flash" the headlamps using the
lighting stalk.
F

A f
urther "headlamp flash" switches the
function off.

off automatically after a set time (this time is
programmable in the configuration menu).

-

i

f the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of
the camera,
-

i

f the vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.

oad users that do not have their
own lighting, such as pedestrians,
-

r

oad users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running
behind a safety barrier (on a
motor way, for example),

accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicate a fault with
the system.
Reactivation
F Press this button.
The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
The DSC and ASR systems no longer act
on the operation of the engine and on the
brakes in the event of a involuntary change of

P
ress this button again.
The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.
Reactivate the systems as soon as the level of
grip permits.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate
the DSC and ASR, so that the wheels can turn
freely and regain grip.
The systems are reactivated automatically each
time the ignition is switched back on or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
