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.
Headlamp dipping
In " AUTO " and "Sidelamps" modes, the driver
can flash the main beam headlamps by keeping
the stalk pulled.

When the lighting is left on
An audible signal when a front door 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.
The lighting goes off when you switch off
the ignition, but you can always switch it
on again using the lighting control stalk.
Travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country that
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.In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, use of the front foglamps and
the rear foglamps is prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of LED headlamps: risk of serious
eye injury.Direction indicators

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lamps come on
and this warning lamp lights up in the
instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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, located
on the dashboard or at the top of the
windscreen behind the rear view mirror
(depending on equipment); the associated
functions would no longer be controlled.
Daytime running lamps/
sidelamps
The front lamps light up automatically when the
engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
-
D
aytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk at " AUTO" position with adequate light
level).
-
S
idelamps (lighting control stalk at " AUTO"
position with low light level or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as
daytime running lamps.
Parking lamps
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
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 may 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.

This is confirmed by an audible signal and
illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.

Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set
via the vehicle configuration
menu.When deactivated, the lighting system changes
to "automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Operation
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or if
the traffic conditions do not allow illumination of
the main beam headlamps:
-
d

these indicator lamps come on
in the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit: -

ain beam comes on
automatically: these indicator
lamps come on in the instrument
panel.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
As soon as the vehicle leaves the area of thick
fog, the function reactivates automatically. This indicator lamp goes off while
the function is deactivated.

-
i
f the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a sticker, etc.) in front of
the camera,
-

When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
-

lighting, such as pedestrians,
-
v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured
(for example: vehicles running behind a
safety barrier on a motor way),
-
v
ehicles at the top or bottom of a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads.Cornering lighting
If fitted to your vehicle, this system makes use
of the beam from a front foglamp to illuminate
the inside of a bend, when the main or dipped
beam headlamps are on and the vehicle speed
is below 25
mph (40 km/h) (urban driving,
winding road, junctions, parking manoeuvres,
e t c .) .

To maintain correct operation of the
system: regularly clean the area in front of
the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the
instrument panel is updated as you pass
a speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).
Activation/Deactivation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
Displays in the instrument panel
1.Detected speed limit indication.
or
2. Indication of the end of the speed limit.
The system is active but is not detecting speed
limit information.
On detection of speed limit information, the
system displays the value.
Activation and deactivation is
done via the vehicle configuration
menu.
Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
-
a
tmospheric pollution,
-
w
hen towing,
-
d
riving with a space-saver type spare wheel
or snow chains fitted,
-
p
uncture repair using the temporary repair
kit,
-
y
oung drivers, etc.
For a suggested maximum speed, the first
time that the vehicle’s speed exceeds it by
more than 3
mph (5 km/h) (example: 59 mph
(95 km/h)), the speed flashes for 10 seconds.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it from
working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
falling snow, rain, fog),
-
w

The system is not intended for the
following situations:
-
i
f the front end of the vehicle has
been modified (addition of long-range
headlamps, painting of the front
bumper),
-
d
riving on a racing circuit,
-
r
unning on a rolling road,
-
u
se of snow chains, non-slip covers or
studded tyres.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the operation
of the cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-
n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
d
riving on a winding road,
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain, dense
f o g , e t c .),

vehicle, low sun, reflections on a damp
road, leaving a tunnel, alternating
shade and light, etc.),
-
c
amera obstructed (mud, frost, snow,
condensation, etc.).
In these situations, detection performance
may be reduced.Malfunction
If the cruise control
malfunctions, dashes are
displayed instead of the
cruise control speed setting.
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an alert
message and an audible
signal, this confirms a
malfunction.
The adaptive cruise control deactivates
automatically if the use of a "space-saver"
type spare wheel is detected or if there is
a malfunction on the lateral brake lamps or
trailer brake lamps (for approved trailers).
The cruise control operates by day and
night, in fog or moderate rainfall.
However, it is strongly recommended that
you always adapt the speed and the safety
distance in relation to the vehicles ahead,
according to the driving conditions, the
weather and the road surface.
Use the cruise control only where the
driving conditions allow running at a
constant speed and keeping an adequate
safety distance.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas where pedestrians are likely to
cross the road, in heavy traffic (except for
versions with EAT8 gearbox), on winding
or steep roads, on slippery or flooded
roads, when there is snowfall, if the
windscreen is damaged or when the brake
lamps have failed.
In certain circumstances, it may not
be possible for the speed setting to be
maintained or even attained: loaded
vehicle, ascending a steep hill, etc.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Memorising speeds
Linked to the speed limiter and programmable
cruise control only, this function allows speed
limits to be registered which will then be
suggested as settings for these two systems.
