Daytime running lamps

On vehicles fi tted with daytime running lamps, the dipped beams come on when the vehicle is started.

This warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel.

The instruments and controls (instrument panel, multifunction display, air conditioning control panel, etc.) are not lit, except on switching to the automatic lighting mode or when the lighting is switched on manually.

This function can be activated/deactivated by a CITROËN dealer.

Manual guide-me-home lighting

Temporarily keeping the dipped headlamps on after the vehicle's ignition has been switched off makes the driver's exit easier when the light is poor.

Switching on

With the ignition off, "fl ash" the headlamps using the lighting stalk B .

A second "headlamp fl ash" switches the function off again.

Switching off

The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after a set time.

Automatic lighting

The sidelamps and dipped headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, when a low level of external light is detected or in certain cases of activation of the windscreen wipers.

As soon as the brightness returns to a suffi cient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

Activation

Turn ring A to the "AUTO" position. The automatic lighting is accompanied by a message on the multifunction screen.

Deactivation

Turn ring A to a position other than "AUTO" . Deactivation is accompanied by a message on the multifunction screen.

Coupling with the automatic "Guide-me-home" lighting

Association with the automatic lighting provides "guide-me-home" lighting with the following additional options:

- selection of the lighting duration to 15, 30 or 60 seconds in the vehicle parameters on the multifunction screen confi guration menu (except in the case of the monochrome screen A, for which the duration is set: 60 seconds),
- automatic activation of "guide-mehome" lighting when automatic lighting is in operation.

Operating fault

In the event of a fault with the brightness sensor, the lighting come on, this warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel and/or a message appears on the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal. Consult a CITROËN dealer.

In fog or snow, the brightness sensor may detect suffi cient light. Therefore, the lighting will not come on automatically.

Do not cover the brightness sensor, coupled with the rain sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the interior mirror; the associated functions would no longer be controlled.
