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

function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches
off automatically after a set time.
Lighting on audible warning
When the ignition is switched off, all
of the lamps switch off automatically,
unless guide-me-home lighting is
activated.
If the lighting is switched on manually
after switching off the ignition, there
is an audible signal when a front door
is opened to warn the driver that they
have forgotten to switch off the vehicle's
lighting, with the ignition off.
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.

Linked with the Guide-me-home
lighting
Association with the automatic illumination
of headlamps provides the guide-me-home
lighting with the following additional options:
-
a
utomatic activation of guide-me-home
lighting when automatic illumination of
headlamps is switched on (in the vehicle
parameters of the multifunction screen
configuration menu),
-

s
election of the duration of maintaining of
the lighting for 15, 30 or 60 seconds in the
vehicle parameters of the multifunction
screen configuration 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 warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel and/or a message appears
in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an
audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine
sensor may detect sufficient light.
Therefore, the lamps will not come on
automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
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.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam 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 sufficient level or
after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps
are switched off automatically.
Activation
F Turn ring A to the "AUTO" position. The automatic
illumination of headlamps is accompanied by a
message in the multifunction screen.
Deactivation
F Turn ring A to a position other than "AUTO" . Deactivation is accompanied by a

LED daytime running lamps
On starting the vehicle, in daylight the LED
lamps come on automatically, if the lighting
stalk is in position "0" or "AUTO".
If the sidelamps and headlamps are switched
on manually or automatically, the LED lamps
switch off.
Setting
For countries where exterior lighting by day is
not a legal requirement, you can activate or
deactivate the function via the multifunction
screen configuration menu. In countries where daytime lamps
are a legal requirement:
-

it cannot be deactivated,
-

i
n daylight, the sidelamps and
number plate lamps also come on,
-

I
f the sidelamps or headlamps
are switched on manually or
automatically, the LED lamps
switch off.
In these countries, for versions
not fitted with LED daytime
running lamps, it is the dipped
beam headlamps that come on
automatically on starting the vehicle .
Allowing the signature of the vehicle to be identified, this daytime external lighting comprises two sets of light emitting diodes (LEDs), located below
each front lamp unit.

Braking assistance systems
Anti-lock braking system
and electronic brake force
distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability and
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking,
in particular on poor or slippery sur faces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk of
wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make itself
felt by slight vibration of the brake pedal.When braking in an emergency, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Group of supplementary systems which help
you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
-

a
nti-lock braking system (ABS),
-
e
lectronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-
em
ergency braking assistance (EBA).
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, it
indicates a malfunction of the anti-
lock braking system which could
result in loss of control of the vehicle
when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on,
together with the STOP
and ABS
warning lamps, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution
which could result in loss of control of
the vehicle when braking.
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you
to obtain the optimum braking pressure more
quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase in
braking efficiency.
In either case, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. When braking in an emergency, press
firmly without releasing the pressure.
When replacing wheels (tyres and
rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
