VISIBILITY
In fog or snow, the sunshine
sensor may detect suffi cient
light. Therefore, the lamps will
not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, linked with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the
windscreen behind the rear view
mirror; the associated functions
would no longer be controlled.

Linked with the Guide-me-home
lighting
Association with the automatic illumina-
tion of headlamps provides the guide-me-
home lighting with the following additional
options:


- automatic activation of guide-me-
home lighting when automatic illu-
mination of headlamps is switched
on (in the vehicle parameters of the
multifunction screen confi guration
menu),

-
selection of the duration of maintaining
of the lighting for 15, 30 or 60 seconds
in the vehicle parameters of the mul-
tifunction screen confi guration menu
(except for monochrome screen A

where this is preset).

of the sunshine sensor, the
lamps come on, this warn-
ing lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message ap-
pears in the multifunction screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.

SEAT BELTS


Front seat belts


The front seat belts are fi tted with a pre-
tensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side im-
pact. Depending on the severity of the
impact, the pretensioning system in-
stantly tightens the seat belts against
the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active
when the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure
of the seat belt on the chest of the occu-
pant, so improving their protection.
