Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting switches off automatically after a set time.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any
a
ction on the part of the driver, when a low level

LED daytime running lampsThis daytime lighting, a signature of the vehicle, comprises two sets of light-emitting diodes
(
LEDs), located in vertical housings below each
h
eadlamp.
On
starting the vehicle, in daylight the daytime
r
unning lamps come on automatically, if the
l
ighting stalk is in position "0" or "AUTO" .
If
the sidelamps and headlamps are switched
o
n manually or automatically, the daytime
r
unning lamps go off.
In
fog
or
snow,
the
sunshine
sensor
m
ay
detect
sufficient
light.
Therefore,
t
he
lighting
will
not
come
on
au
tomatically.
Do
not
cover
the
sunshine
sensor,
c
oupled
with
the
rain
sensor
and
l
ocated
in
the
centre
of
the
windscreen
b
ehind
the
rear
view
mirror;
the
a
ssociated
functions
would
no

be c
ontrolled.
Automatic guide-me-home
lighting
When the automatic illumination of headlamps f unctions is activated, if the ambient light level
i
s low the dipped beam headlamps remain on
w
hen switching off the ignition.
Settings
Activation and deactivation, as well as the duration of the guide-me-home lighting can be
s
et in the vehicle configuration menu (except
f
or the monochrome screen A, for which the
d
uration is fixed at 60 seconds).

Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically, without any action on the part of the driver, if
r
ain is detected (sensor behind the rear view
m
irror), adapting their speed to the intensity of
t
he rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver by pushing s talk A to the "AUTO" p osition.
It
is accompanied by the illumination
o
f this indicator lamp in the
i
nstrument panel and a message in
t
he multifunction screen.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver by moving stalk A upwards, returning it to
p
osition
"0".
It
is accompanied by the indicator lamp
i
n the instrument panel going off and a
m
essage in the multifunction screen.The
automatic wiping must be r
eactivated if the ignition has been off
f
or more than one minute, by pushing
s
talk A downwards.

Operating fault
If an automatic wiping fault occurs, the wipers will operate in intermittent mode.
Have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
To retain the effectiveness of the flat
wiper
blades, it is advisable to:
-
h
andle them with care,
-
c
lean them regularly using soapy
w
ater,
-
n
ot use them to hold a sheet of
c
ardboard against the windscreen,
-
r
eplace them at the first signs of
w
e a r.
Do
not cover the rain sensor, linked
w
ith the sunshine sensor and located in
t
he centre of the windscreen behind the
r
ear view mirror.
Switch
off the automatic wiping when
u
sing an automatic car wash.
In
winter, it is advisable to wait until the
w
indscreen is completely clear of ice
b
efore activating the automatic wiping.This
position allows the wiper blades to
b
e lifted for winter parking, cleaning or
r
eplacement without damaging the bonnet.
In
the minute following switching off of the
i
gnition, any action on the wiper stalk positions
t
he wipers vertically.
To
park the wipers after this has been done,
s
witch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.

Under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
T he under-inflation detection system
d
oes not replace the need for vigilance
o
n the part of the driver.
This
system does not avoid the need to
c
heck the tyre pressures (including the
s
pare wheel) every month as well as
b
efore a long journey.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
mpairs road holding, extends braking
d
istances and causes premature
t
yre wear, particularly under arduous
c
ondition (high loading, high speed,
lon
g
jo
urney).The
inflation pressures defined for
y
our vehicle can be found on the tyre
p
ressure label.
See
the "Identification markings"
s
ection.
Tyre
pressures should be checked
w
hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
s
topped for 1 hour or after a journey of
l
ess than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
s
peeds).
Other wise
(when hot), add 0.3 bar to
t
he pressures shown on the label.
Driving
with under-inflated tyres
i
ncreases fuel consumption.
The
system monitors the pressures in the four
t
yres, once the vehicle is moving.
It
compares the information given by the four
w
heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
system triggers an alert as soon as it
d
etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
o
r more tyres.

Active City Brake
Active City Brake is a driving assistance system that aims to avoid a frontal collision
o
r reduce the speed of an impact if the driver
d
oes not react sufficiently (inadequate brake
a
pplication). This
system is designed to improve
d
riving safety.
It
remains the driver's responsibility to
c
ontinuously monitor the state of the
t
raffic and to assess the distances and
r
elative speeds of other vehicles.
Active
City Brake can in no
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
Never
look at the laser sensor through
an o
ptical
in
strument
(
magnifying
g
lass,
m
icroscope...) at a distance of less than
1
0 centimetres: risk of eye injury.Automatic
braking occurs later than if
d
one by the driver, so as to intervene
o
nly when there is a high risk of
c
ollision.Principle
Using a laser sensor located at the top of the windscreen, this system detects a vehicle
r
unning in the same direction or stationary
a
head of your vehicle.
When
necessary, the vehicle's braking system
i
s operated automatically to avoid a collision
w
ith the vehicle ahead.
Conditions for activation
Active City Brake only operates if the following conditions are met:
●
i
gnition on,
●
t
he vehicle is in a for ward gear,
●
s
peed is between about 3 and 18 mph
(5
and 30 km/h),
●
t
he braking assistance systems (ABS,
E
BFD, emergency braking assistance) are
n
ot faulty,
●
t
he trajectory control systems (ASR, DSC)
a
re not deactivated or faulty,
●
t
he vehicle is not in a tight corner,
●
t
he system has not been triggered during
t
he previous 10 seconds.

Operating faults
In the event of an impact to the windscreen at the sensor, deactivate
t
he system and contact a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop to have
y
our windscreen replaced.
Never
try to remove, adjust or test
t
he sensor.
Only
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop is able to work on the system.
When
towing a trailer or when the
v
ehicle is being towed, the system must
b
e deactivated.Do not stick or other wise fix any object on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
m
isting of the windscreen. In this case you are
w
arned by the display of a message.
Use
the windscreen demisting and regularly
c
lean the area of the windscreen in front of the
sen
sor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you are warned by an audible signal and the display
o
f the message "Automatic braking system
fault" .
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
d
ealer or a qualified workshop.
In
difficult
weather
conditions
(very
h
eavy
rain,
snow,
fog,
hail...),
braking
d
istances
increase,
which
can
reduce
t
he
ability
of
the
system
to
avoid
a
c
ollision.
The
driver
must
therefore
remain
par
ticularly
v
igilant.
Never
leave
accumulations
of
snow
or
a
ny
object
projecting
above
the
bonnet
o
r
in
front
of
the
roof:
this
might
fall
into
t
he
field
of
vision
of
the
sensor
and
g
enerate
