Daytime running lamps *


On vehicles fi tted with daytime run-
ning lamps, the dipped beams come on
when the vehicle is started.
Manual guide-me-home lighting
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion 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.

)
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.


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

The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps 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 activa-
tion 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 to the "AUTO"
position.
The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a mes-
sage in the screen.


Deactivation


)
Turn ring to a position other than
"AUTO"
. Deactivation is accompa-
nied by a message in the screen.
This warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls (instru-
ment panel, multifunction screen, air
conditioning control panel, etc.) are not
illuminated, except on switching to the
automatic lighting mode or when the
lighting is switched on manually.
This function can be activated/deacti-
vated by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop. In some weather conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity),
the presence of misting on the
internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the
lamps have been on for a few
minutes.

VISIBILITY
To avoid causing a nuisance to other
road users, the height of the headlam-
ps should be adjusted in relation to the
load in the vehicle.

Driver only or driver + front passenger.


-
. Intermediate setting

1.
5 people.

-
. 5 people + load in the boot.

2.

load in the boot.
This position is suffi cient to avoid causing
dazzle.
Higher settings may limit the spread of
light from the headlamps.
The initial setting is position "0"
.
HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT

Association with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic illumination of headlamps provides "guide-me-home"
lighting with the following additional op-
tions:


- selection of the lighting duration to 15,
30 or 60 seconds in the functions that
can be set in the vehicle confi gura-
tion menu (except in the case of the
monochrome screen A, for which the
duration is set: 60 seconds),

- automatic activation of "guide-me-
home" lighting when automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps is in operation.


Operating fault In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Therefore, the lighting will not
come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sen-
sor, coupled 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.

In the event of a fault with the
sunshine sensor, the lighting
come on, this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument panel and/
or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a pro-
tective coating:


)
do not clean them using a
dry or abrasive cloth, nor
with a detergent or solvent
product,


)

use a sponge and soapy water,


)
when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks,
do not keep the lance direct-
ed towards the lamps or their
edges for too long, so as not
to damage their protective
coating and seals.
CHANGING A BULB




)
Do not touch the bulb directly with your fi ngers, use lint-free
cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has
been switched off for a few min-
utes (risk of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in
order not to damage the head-
lamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with
a new bulb with the same type
and specifi cation.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay au-
dio navigation system, it will be
interrupted after 10 minutes. A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the ac-
tive functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.


)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left
running. However, this period will always
be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
