obscured (by a sticker, ...) in front of
the camera,
-
if t
he vehicle is facing highly
reflective signs.
The system is not able to detect:
-
ro
ad users that do not have their
own lighting, such as pedestrians,
-
ro
ad users whose lighting is
obscured, such as vehicles running
behind a safety barrier (on a
motor way, for example),

For bulbs with lugs (type H7...) take
care to observe their correct installation
so as to ensure the best lighting
performance. 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.Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S) must be replaced
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
