Lighting control stalk
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle 
are designed to adapt the driver's visibility 
progressively according to the climatic 
conditions:
- 
s
 idelamps, to be seen,
-
 
d
 aytime running lamps to be more visible 
during the day,
-
 
d
 ipped beam headlamps to see without 
dazzling other drivers,
-
 
m
 ain beam headlamps to see clearly when 
the road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are provided to meet the 
requirements of particular driving conditions:
-
 r
ear foglamps,
-
 
f
 ront foglamps with cornering lighting,
-
 
d
 irectional headlamps for improved 
visibility when cornering,
-
 
g
 uide-me-home and welcome lighting to 
facilitate access to the vehicle,
-
 
p
 arking lamps as vehicle position markers.
Programming
The setting of some functions can be adjusted:
- a utomatic illumination of headlamps,
-
 
a
 utomatic headlamp dipping,
-
 
g
 uide-me-home lighting,
-
 
w
 elcome lighting,
-
 
c
 ornering lighting,
-
 d
irectional lighting.
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.
Travelling abroad
Halogen headlamps
For motoring in countries that drive 
on the other side of the road, it is 
necessary to adapt the adjustment of 
the dipped beams so as to not dazzle 
the drivers of approaching vehicles. 
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified 
workshop.
Xenon headlamps
The design of the dipped beam 
headlamps allows you to drive in a 
country that drives on the other side 
of the road, without the need for any 
modification.
In the event of the failure of one or more 
bulbs, a message advises you to check 
the lamp(s) in question.

General safety recommendations
Labels are applied at various 
points on your vehicle. They carry 
safety warnings as well as vehicle 
identification information. Do not 
remove them: they form an integral part 
of your vehicle.
For any work on your vehicle, use 
a qualified workshop that has the 
technical information, skills and 
equipment required, all of which a 
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.We draw your attention to the following points:
- The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories not listed by CITROËN  may cause 
excessive current consumption and faults and failures with the electrical system of 
your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer for information on the range of recommended 
accessories.
-
 
A
 s a safety measure, access to the diagnostic socket, used for the vehicle's electronic 
systems, is reserved strictly for CITROËN dealers or qualified workshops, equipped 
with the special tools required (risk of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic systems 
that could cause breakdowns or serious accidents). The manufacturer cannot be held 
responsible if this advice is not followed.
-
 
A
 ny modification or adaptation not intended or authorised by Automobiles CITROËN 
or carried out without meeting the technical requirements defined by the manufacturer 
would lead to the suspension of the legal and contractual warranties.
Installation of accessory radio communication transmitters
Before installing a radio communication transmitter, you must contact a CITROËN dealer 
for the specification of transmitters which can be fitted (frequency, maximum power, 
aerial position, specific installation requirements), in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic 
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
Depending on the legislation in force in the country, certain safety equipment may be 
compulsory: high visibility safety vests, warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs, spare 
fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud flaps at the rear of the vehicle...

D5S xenon bulbs must be changed 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop, as there is a risk of 
electrocution.
In the event of failure of one of  
the D5S bulbs, it is recommended that 
the bulb on the other side be changed 
at the same time.
The headlamps have polycarbonate 
lenses with a protective coating:
F
 
d
o not clean them using a dr y 
or abrasive cloth, nor with a 
detergent or solvent product,
F
 
u
se a sponge and soapy water or 
a
 
pH neutral product,
F
 
w
hen using a high pressure washer 
on persistent marks, do not keep 
the lance directed towards the 
lamps or their edges for too long, 
so as not to damage their protective 
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb should only be done 
after the headlamp has been switched 
off for several minutes (risk of serious 
burns).
F
 
D
o not touch the bulb directly with 
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to avoid 
damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a 
new bulb with the same type and 
specification.
