situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should

and dipped headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.

foglamps and the rear foglamps when
they are no longer needed.

is opened warns the driver that the
vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with the
ignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting
stops the audible signal.
Travelling abroad

drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The lighting goes off when you switch
off the ignition, but you can always
switch it on again using the lighting
control stalk.
