switched off.

For a petrol engine with a catalytic
converter, unleaded fuel is compul-
sory.
Opening the fuel flap Additions of fuel must be of at least
5 litres to be taken into account by
the fuel gauge.
The fi ller neck is narrower to en-
sure that only unleaded petrol
nozzles can be put in.
Opening the fi ller cap may create
a noise of an inrush of air. This

The various front and rear lamps of
the vehicle are designed to adapt
the driver's visibility progressively in
relation to the climatic conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- 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 fi tted to fulfi l the re-
quirements of particular driving con-
ditions:
- a rear foglamp to be seen from a distance,
- front foglamps for even better forward vision,
- directional headlamps for im- proved visibility when cornering,
- daytime running lamps to be seen during the day. Programming
Various automatic lighting control
modes are also available depending
on options:
- guide-me-home lighting,
- automatic lighting,
- directional lighting.

Model with rear foglamps
only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamps are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
may detect suffi cient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Lamps on buzzer

when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual lamps
mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

* According to country.
Daytime-running lamps
System which switches on special
lamps at the front, to make the ve-
hicle more visible by day.
They light up automatically and perma-
nently, when the engine is running, if:
- The function is activated * in the
"Main Menu" of the instrument
panel screen.
- The lighting control is at position 0
or AUTO .

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. Automatic illumination of

sor, linked with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the rear view mirror;
the associated functions would no
longer operate.
MANUAL HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
To avoid dazzling other road users,
the height of the halogen bulb head-
lamps must be adjusted according
to the load in the vehicle.

0. 1 or 2 people in the front seats.

-. 3 people.

1. 5 people.

-. Intermediate setting.

2. 5 people + maximum authorised
loads.

-. Intermediate setting.

3. Driver + maximum authorised
loads.
Initial setting is position "0".
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF DIRECTIONAL HEADLAMPS

Consult a CITROËN dealer.
If a malfunction occurs,
this warning lamp is dis-
played on the instrument
panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the instru-
ment panel screen.
The system then places your head-
lamps in the lowest position.
To avoid causing a nuisance to oth-
er road users, this system corrects
