Lighting controls
Selection and control of the various front and
rear lamps providing the vehicle's 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
If using your vehicle in a
country that
drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling oncoming drivers.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

up to approximately 3 minutes. When this
t ime has elapsed, the lamps are switched off
automatically.
Deactivate this control by keeping the stalk
pulled towards the steering wheel for more than
2
seconds.
Automatic headlamps
System which automatically changes to main
beam according to the ambient light level and
the driving conditions, using a camera located
at the top of the windscreen.
This system is a
driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility
and traffic, and obser vation of driving
regulations.
Activation
F Turn the lighting control stalk ring to this position.

the traffic conditions do not allow illumination of
the main beam headlamps:
-

ipped beam is maintained; this
indicator lamp lights up in the

If the ambient light level is very low and the
traffic conditions permit:
If the situation requires a change of headlamp
beam, the driver can take over at any time.
Flashing the headlamps again pauses the
function and the system changes to "automatic
illumination of headlamps" mode.
The function is disabled automatically below
9
mph (15 km/h).
If main beam is nevertheless necessary, flash
the headlamps again; main beam will then
remain on until the vehicle reaches a
speed of
25
mph (40 km/h).
Above 25
mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that the
headlamps have not been flashed again in the
meantime, to change to dipped beam).
Deactivation
F Turn the lighting control stalk ring to the " Dipped beam "
position. The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:
-
u
nder conditions of poor visibility
(falling snow, heavy rain or thick fog,
e t c .),
-
i
f the windscreen in front of the
camera is dirty, misted or obscured (by
a sticker, etc.),
-
i
f the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
The system is not able to detect:
-
r
oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-
v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured,
such as when driving behind a safety
barrier on a motor way, for example,
-
v
ehicles at the top or bottom of
a steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads.
Parking lamps
This system enables you to leave the lamps on
when parked; with the ignition off, key in the
STOP position or key removed.
This indicator lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
The lamps will remain on while you
are parked.
Leaving the lighting on for long periods
may significantly reduce the state of
charge of your vehicle's battery.

Headlamp beam height
adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
u sers, the height of the halogen headlamp
beams must be adjusted according to the load
in the vehicle.
This function works in the dipped and main
beam headlamps position.
Press these controls several times in
succession to adjust the headlamps.
An indicator in the screen shows
the adjustment position selected (0,
1, 2, 3).

the MAR position.
The control can have five different positions:

ntermittent wiping: 1 notch downwards.
In this position, four wiping frequencies can be selected by turning the ring.
Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
If your vehicle is fitted with this system, the
wiping speed is adapted automatically to the
intensity of the rainfall.
Automatic wiping: 1
notch downwards. This is
confirmed by a
single wipe. Must be reactivated
after each time the ignition is switched off.
In this position, it is possible to increase the
sensitivity of the rain sensor by turning the ring.
Do not cover the rain sensor, located at
the top centre of the windscreen.
When washing the vehicle, switch off the
ignition or deactivate the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.
Check that the windscreen wiper blades
can operate freely when using the wipers
in icy weather.
Use the step in the front bumper to remove
any accumulation of snow at the base of
the windscreen and on the blades.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.

f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a
trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a
genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
CITROËN dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully; in
case of loss, inter vention by the CITROËN
dealer will be more efficient and quicker
if you present this number and the
confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.
