- dipped beam headlamps to see
without dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clearly
when the road is clear.



Additional lighting

Other lamps are installed to fulfi l the
requirements of particular conditions of
visibility:


- a rear foglamp to be seen from afar,

- front foglamps for even better for-
ward vision.

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).



Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction
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.

The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to
respect speed limits, nor can it re-
place the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.
The speed limiter is switched on
man-
ually: it requires a programmed speed
of at least 20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off
by
manual operation of the control.
The programmed speed can be ex-
ceeded temporarily by pressing the ac-
celerator fi rmly.
To return to the programmed speed,
simply slow down to a speed below the
programmed speed.
The programmed speed remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched
off.

DRIVING
On a steep descent or in the event
of sharp acceleration, the speed
limiter will not be able to prevent
the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
To avoid any risk of jamming of
the pedals:


- ensure that the mat is posi-
tioned correctly,

- do not fi t one mat on top of
another.

Programming



)
Turn thumb wheel 1

Pressing the accelerator pedal to exceed the programmed
speed will not have any effect unless you press the pedal
fi rmly
past the point of resistance
.
The speed limiter is deactivated temporarily and the pro-
grammed speed, which is still displayed, fl ashes.
Returning to the programmed speed, by means of intention-
al or unintentional deceleration of the vehicle, automatically
cancels the fl ashing of the programmed speed.


Leaving limiter mode



)
Turn thumb wheel 1
to the "0"
position: the speed limiter
mode is deselected. The display returns to the distance
recorder.
