high beam CITROEN C3 AIRCROSS 2022 Owners Manual

85
The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:
-
u
nder poor visibility conditions (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
-

i
f the windscreen in front of the camera
is dirty, misted or covered (by a sticker,
e t c .),
-

i
f the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
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
(for example, vehicles driving behind a
safety barrier on a motor way),
-

v
ehicles at the top or bottom of a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads.
Headlamp adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
users, the height of the headlamp beams
should be adjusted according to the load in the
vehicle.
0. Driver only or driver + front passenger.
1. Driver + front passenger + rear
passengers + maximum authorised load. The initial setting is position 0.
Cornering lighting
If your vehicle is equipped with it, this system
makes use of the beam from a front foglamp
to illuminate the inside of a bend, when the
main or dipped beam headlamps are on and
the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres, etc.).
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
mask the camera's view.
2.
Driver only + maximum authorised load.

Lighting and visibility

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature 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.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To 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. If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2
minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
F

I

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 600
miles (1,000 kilometres).
For more information on Headlamp
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 chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
If the system fails, as reported by a message,
the engine will not start.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
For safety and theft protection reasons,
never leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it with
you.

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb should only be done after
the headlamp has been switched off for
several minutes (risk of serious burns).
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. Light emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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.
Front lamps
* LED: light emitting diodes. 1.
Daytime running lamps/sidelamps
(W21/5W or LED)*.
2. Direction indicators (PY21W).
3. Dipped beam headlamps (H7).
4. Main beam headlamps (H7).
5. Foglamps (H8).
