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/

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.

be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox
in neutral.
Otherwise engage a gear corresponding
to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
can be used with the selector at N, D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active
Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
The system is not available:
-
i
f the speed of the vehicle is above
43
mph (70 km/h),
-
i
f the speed of the vehicle is being
controlled by the Adaptive cruise
control, depending on the type of
gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The system's status is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when
the engine is running, when the vehicle is

the indicator lamp flashes rapidly,
-
i
f the gearbox is in neutral or if
the clutch pedal is depressed, the
speed decreases and the warning
lamp flashes slowly; in this case,
the maintained descent speed is
l o w e r. During a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if
you release the accelerator and brake pedals,
the system will release the brakes to set the
vehicle gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when
the system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19
mph (30 km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, the indicator
lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel,

driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. Uphill
