Temporarily exceeding the
programmed speedSwitching off
Operating fault
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the speed limiter.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
F
I
f you want to temporarily exceed the
programmed limit speed, press firmly
on
the accelerator pedal, going beyond the
point of resistance .
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the displayed programmed speed flashes. F
T
urn wheel 1 to the "0"
position: the
display of information on the speed limiter
disappears. Flashing dashes indicate a fault with the speed
limiter.
On a steep descent or in the event of
sharp acceleration, the speed limiter
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
When the limit speed is exceeded but is not
due to action by the driver, there is an audible
signal to complete the alert.
Once the speed of the vehicle returns to
the programmed setting, the speed limiter
functions again: the display of the programmed
speed setting becomes steady again. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

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.
If the lighting is switched on manually after
switching off the ignition, there is an audible
signal when a front door is opened to warn
the driver that they have forgotten to switch
off the vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off.
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.

When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps, sidelamps 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 brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
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 beams headlamps come on
automatically 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.

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
Switching on
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.
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:
-
u
nder conditions of poor visibility
(for example, snowfall, heavy rain
or thick fog, ...),
-
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.
The system is not able to detect:
-
r
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),
-
r
oad users at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on twisty roads, on
crossroads.

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
Operating 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.
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
trajectory. F
P
ress this button again.
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
them manually:

Important: if your vehicle's
AdBlue
® tank is completely empty -
w
hich 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
seconds, 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.
