temperature, humidity), the presence
of mist on the internal sur face of the
headlamp and rear lamp glass is normal;
this disappears a few minutes after the
lights are switched on.

In good or rainy weather, both day and
night, using the front fog lights and the
rear fog light is prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams may
dazzle other drivers. They should only be
used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the fog lights
and dipped headlights manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn of the front fog lights
and the rear fog light as soon as they are
no longer necessary. Switching off the lights when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lights turn off immediately, except for
dipped beam if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lighting when
switching on the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate
the ring to the "0" position - lights off, then
to the desired position.
When the driver's door is opened, a
temporary audible signal warns you that
the vehicle's lighting is on.
The lighting, with the exception of the
side lights, switch off automatically after
a maximum duration of thirty minutes to
prevent discharging of the battery.

Daytime running lights
(Depending on the country of sale.)
When starting the vehicle, the daytime running
lights come on automatically, if the lighting
control is in the "0" position.The daytime running lights go off
if the side lights and dipped beam
headlights are switched on.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Switching on

function off.
Manual follow-me lighting goes off
automatically at the end of a given period of
time.
Manual guide-me-home
lighting
The temporary illumination of the dipped beam
headlamps after the vehicle's ignition has been
switched off makes the driver's exit easier
when the light is poor.

Headlight beam height adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
users, the height of the headlight beams should
be adjusted according to the load in the vehicle.
Depending on the version, this adjustment can
be carried out using the control located:
-
U
nder the bonnet.
-

the boot.
- Driver on his own + maximum authorised
load in the boot.
The higher number positions can be used, but
may limit the area illuminated by the headlights.
The initial setting is position "0". Travelling abroad
The design of the dipped beam headlights
allows, without modification, driving in a
country that drives on the other side of the
road to the country in which your vehicle
was sold.

Operation of the systemLocalised Assistance Call
The red indicator light is on
continuously: there is a system
fault.
The red indicator light flashes: replace the
back-up battery.
In both cases, the emergency and assistance
calls service may not work.
Contact a qualified repairer as soon as
possible.
A fault with the system does not prevent
the vehicle being driven. Press this button for more than
2
seconds to request assistance
if the vehicle breaks down.
A voice message confirms that the call has
been made**. Pressing this button again
immediately cancels the request.
The cancellation is confirmed by a voice
message.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel 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
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres.Under-inflation alert
The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys). Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done when the tyres
are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km)
at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label. This warning is indicated by
continuous illumination of the light,
an audible signal and a message
displayed on the screen.
F
R
educe speed immediately, avoid
excessive steering movements and sudden
braking.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on a simple visual check.
F I f you have a compressor (such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit),
check the pressures of the four tyres when
cold. If it is not possible to make this check
immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
or
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
The warning remains active until the
system is reinitialised.

Malfunction
or
With the touch screen
F Press the ‘7’ or ‘ 8’ button to select ‘ Ty r e

confirm by pressing the central button.
A message confirms the reset operation. Press MENU

initialisation ".
Press " Ye s" to Confirm the request,
a sound signal and a message
confirm the reset operation.
The under-inflation alert can only be relied
on if the reinitialisation of the system has
been done with the pressures in the four
tyres correctly adjusted.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised after fitting or removing snow
chains. The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning light accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning light
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.
In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer provided.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
After carrying out any work on the system,
the pressure of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.
