Lighting control
Main lighting
The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle are designed to adapt the driver's visibility
p
rogressively according to the climatic
c
onditions:
-
s
idelamps, to be seen,
-
d
ipped beam headlamps to see without
d
azzling
o
ther
d
rivers,
-
m
ain beam headlamps to see clearly when
t
he road is clear.
Additional lighting
Other lamps are provided to meet the requirements of particular driving conditions:
-
a
rear foglamp,
-
f
ront foglamps with cornering lighting,
-
d
aytime running lamps to be more visible
d
uring the day,
-
g
uide-me-home lighting to facilitate your
e
xit from the vehicle,
-
p
arking lamps as vehicle position markers.
In
the event of the failure of one or more
b
ulbs, a message advises you to check
t
he lamp(s) in question.Travelling abroad
The design of the dipped beam headlamps allows, without modification,
d
riving in a country that drives on the
o
ther side of the road to the country in
which
your vehicle was sold.

In good or rainy weather, both day and night, the front foglamps and the
r
ear foglamp are prohibited. In these
s
ituations, the power of their beams
m
ay dazzle other drivers. They should
o
nly be used in fog or snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility
to switch on the foglamps
a
nd dipped beam headlamps manually
a
s the sunshine sensor may detect
s
ufficient light.
Do
not forget to switch off the front
f
oglamps and the rear foglamp when
t
hey are no longer necessary.Switching off the lamps when
the ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the lamps turn off immediately, except for
d
ipped beam if guide-me-home lighting
i
s activated.
Switching on the lamps
after the ignition is
switched off
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the ring to the "0" position - lamps off,
t
hen to the desired position.
On
opening the driver's door a
t
emporary audible signal warns the
d
river that the lighting is on.
The
lamps, with the exception of the
s
idelamps, switch off automatically after
a
maximum duration of thirty minutes to
p
revent discharging of the battery.

Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
F
D
epending on version, within one minute
o
f switching off the ignition, operate the
l
ighting control stalk up or down depending
o
n the traffic side (for example: when
p
arking on the left; lighting control stalk
u
pwards; the right hand sidelamps are on).
This
is confirmed by an audible signal and
i
llumination of the corresponding direction
i
ndicator warning lamp in the instrument panel.
To
switch off the parking lamps, return the
l
ighting control stalk to the central position.
Daytime running lamps / Sidelamps
(LEDs)
The light-emitting diodes (LEDs) come on automatically when the engine is started.
In
some weather conditions (e.g. low
t
emperature or humidity), the presence
o
f misting on the internal sur face of the
g
lass of the headlamps and rear lamps
i
s normal; it disappears after the lamps
h
ave been on for a few minutes.They
provide the following functions:
- D aytime running lamps (lighting control
s
talk in position "0 " or " AUTO " with
adequate
light level).
-
S
idelamps (lighting control stalk in
p
osition "AUTO"
with low light level or
"
Sidelamps only" or "Main or dipped beam

Cornering lighting
With dipped or main beams, this system makes use of the beam from a front
f
oglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend,
w
hen the vehicle speed is below 25 mph
(
approximately 40 km/h) (urban driving, winding
r
oad, intersections, parking manoeuvres...).With cornering l

or
-
f
rom a certain angle of rotation of the

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches
t
he maximum permitted without
e
xceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
For
more information on weights (and the
t
owed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
to
the corresponding section.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
e
ngine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
o
f your vehicle.
For
more information on adjusting the
h
eadlamp beam height, refer to the
c
orresponding
s
ection.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
