Warning and indicator
lamps
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours.
Associated warnings
The illumination of a lamp may be accompanied
by an audible signal and/or a message displayed
in a screen.
Relating the type of alert to the operating status
of the vehicle allows you to determine whether
the situation is normal or whether a fault has
occurred: refer to the description of each lamp
for further information.
When the ignition is switched on
Certain red or orange warning lamps come on
for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on. These warning lamps should go off as soon
as the engine is started.

Lighting and visibility
Lighting control stalk
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface 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 on-coming drivers.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

no longer necessary.
LED daytime running
lamps
On starting the vehicle, in daylight, the daytime
running lamps come on automatically.
If the sidelamps and headlamps are switched on
manually or automatically, the daytime running
lamps switch off.
Programming
For countries where exterior lighting by day is
not a legal requirement, you can activate or
deactivate the function via the configuration
menu.
Automatic illumination of headlamps
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically if the light is poor.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
beam headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns
to a sufficient level.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor at the top
centre of the windscreen.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the sunshine sensor.
For more information on Vehicle
configuration , refer to the corresponding
section.
Activation
► Turn the ring to this position.
The lamps go out automatically when the ignition
is switched off.
48
Lighting and visibility
Once the function is activated, the system
operates as follows:
If the brightness is sufficient and/or if the traffic
conditions do not allow illumination of the main
beam headlamps:
– The dipped beam headlamps will
remain on: this indicator lamp lights up on
the instrument panel.
If the brightness is very low and the traffic
conditions allow:
– The main beam headlamps
come on automatically: these
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.
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 lighting system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps" mode.
At a speed lower than approximately 9 mph (15
km/h), the function deactivates automatically.
If the main beam headlamps are still needed,
flash the headlamps again; the main beam
headlamps then remain on fixed until the vehicle
reaches a speed of approximately 25 mph (40
km/h).
Above 25 mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that you have
not flashed the headlamps again to turn off the
main beam headlamps during this interval).
Deactivation
► Turn the lighting control stalk ring to
the "Dipped beam" position.
The system may suffer interference or not work correctly:
– under conditions of poor visibility (falling
snow, heavy rain or thick fog, etc.),
– if the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (by a sticker, etc.),
– if the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
The system is not able to detect: – road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
– vehicles whose lighting is obscured, such
as when running behind a safety barrier on a
motorway, for example,
– vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on twisty roads, on crossroads.
Parking lamps
This system allows you to leave the lamps on
when parked; with the ignition off, and the key in
the STOP position or removed.
► Move the lighting control stalk ring to position
O, then to dipped beam headlamps or main
beam headlamps.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
dashboard.
The lamps will stay on for the duration of your
parking.
Extended lighting can significantly reduce
the vehicle's battery charge.
Headlamp beam height
adjustment
To avoid inconvenience to other road users,
the height of the halogen headlamps should be
adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.
This function can be accessed in dipped beam
and main beam headlamp positions.
Successive presses on these
controls adjust the headlamps.
An indicator lamp on the display indicates the
selected setting position (0, 1, 2, 3).

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
will be able to operate freely when using
in freezing conditions.
Use the footboard, in the lower front panel, to
remove any accumulation of snow at the base
of the windscreen and on the blades.
You can change the wiper blades. For more information on Changing
a wiper blade , refer to the corresponding
section.
With Stop & Start, when the windscreen
wiper control is in the fast wiping
position, STOP mode is not available.
Screenwash and headlamp
washers
► Pull the wiper control towards you; the
screenwash action will be accompanied by a
timed operation of the wipers.
Depending on version, the headlamp washer
is linked to the screenwash; it is activated if the
dipped beam headlamps are on.
This fluid level should be checked regularly, particularly during winter.
For more information on Checking the levels
and, in particular, on the screenwash / headlamp
washer levels, refer to the corresponding
section.

Driving
6Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance so
that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to
the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
► deactivate the Stop & Start function,
► drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
► do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature
of the coolant. The maximum towable load
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan
does not increase with engine speed.
► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed,
so as to limit the heating-up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
