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 /
S idelamps
(LE
ds)
The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) come on
automatically when the engine is started.
They provide the following functions:
-
Da
ytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk in position " 0" or " AUTO " with
adequate light level).
-
Si
delamps (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.

When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps,
si
delamps 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" p osition. The
activation of the function is accompanied
by the display of a message in the screen.
deactivation
F Turn the ring to another position.
D eactivation 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
Wi
thin 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
F Within one minute after switching of the
i
gnition, "flash" the headlamps using the
lighting stalk.
F
A fu
rther "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:
-
un
der conditions of poor visibility
(for example, snowfall, heavy rain
or thick fog, ...),
-
if t
he windscreen is dirty, misted or
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),
-
ro
ad users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.

dynamic stability control (dSc)
and anti-slip regulation
(ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation if
the engine and brakes.
This is indicated by flashing of this
warning lamp in the instrument panel.
deactivation
O perating fault
Illumination of this warning lamp and
the lamp in the deactivation button,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, indicate a fault with
the system.
Reactivation
F Press this button.
T he 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
trajectory. F
Pr
ess 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
m
ph (50 km/h).
Below 30 mph (50 km/h), you can reactivate
them manually:

Important: if your vehicle's
AdBlue
® tank is completely empty -
wh
ich is confirmed by the alert
messages and the impossibility of
starting the engine - you must add at
least 3.8 litres, so two 1.89 litre bottles. If any additive is split or splashed, wash
immediately with cold water or wipe
with a damp cloth.
If the additive has crystallised, clean it
off using a sponge and hot water.Important:
when topping up after
running out of additive , signalled
by the message "Top up emissions
additive: Starting prevented", you must
wait for approximately 5 minutes before
switching on the ignition, without
opening the driver's door, unlocking
the vehicle, placing the key of the
"Keyless Entr y and Star ting" system
inside the vehicle or inser ting the
electronic key in the reader.
Switch on the ignition, wait for
10
s
econds, then start the engine.
Never dispose of AdBlue
® additive
bottles in the household waste. Place
them in a special container provided
this purpose or take them to your
dealer.
