The connection of an electrical device not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
Wireless smartphone
charger



It allows wireless charging of a portable device
such as a smartphone, using the magnetic
induction principle, in accordance with the Qi 1.1
standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With Keyless Entry and Starting, the charger’s
operation may be briefly disrupted when a door
is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging
► With the charging area clear , place a device in its centre.

When the portable device is detected, the
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge
multiple devices simultaneously.


Do not leave any metal objects (coins,
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the
charging area while a device is being
charged, due to the risk of overheating or
interrupting the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.

Never look too closely at the luminous
beam of LED lamps: risk of serious eye
injury!
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Travelling abroad
Vehicles equipped with halogen
headlamps:
If planning to use your vehicle in a country
that drives on the other side of the road, the
headlamp dipped beams must be adjusted to
avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If one or more lamps fails, a message
asks you to check the lamp or lamps
concerned.

main beam headlamps.
In “AUTO” and sidelamps modes, the driver can
switch on the main beam headlamps temporarily
(“headlamp flash”) by pulling the stalk.

This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
► To switch off the parking lamps, return the lighting control stalk to the central position.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
When the ring is at the "AUTO" position and
a low level of ambient light is detected by a
sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps, side lamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched
on automatically, without any action on the
part of the driver. They can also come on if
rain is detected, at the same time as automatic
operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the light returns to a sufficient level
or after the windscreen wipers are switched off,
the lamps are switched off automatically.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the sunshine sensor, the lighting comes on,
this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument
panel accompanied by an audible signal and/or a
message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
They operate with the sidelamps or dipped beam headlamps on, in manual or
auto mode.
► Press and rotate the ring:– forwards a 1st time to switch on the front
foglamps.
– forwards a 2nd time to switch on the rear
foglamp.
– backwards a 1st time to switch off the rear
foglamp.
– backwards a 2nd time to switch off the front
foglamps.
When the lamps are switched off automatically
(with AUTO model) or when the dipped beam
headlamps are switched off manually, the
foglamps and sidelamps remain on.
► Rotate the ring backwards to switch the foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch off.
In good or rainy weather, by day and
night, using the front and rear foglamps
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 foglamps and
dipped beam headlamps manually as the
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient light.
Do not forget to turn off the front and rear
foglamps as soon as they are no longer
necessary.
Switching off of the lamps when the
ignition is switched off
When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for dipped
beam headlamps if automatic guide-me-home
lighting is activated.
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "AUTO" position, then to the
desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period of
time that depends on the state of charge of
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
