Lighting control stalk
In some weather conditions (e.g. low 
temperature or humidity), the presence 
of misting on the internal sur face of the 
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is 
normal; it disappears after the lamps have 
been on for a  few minutes.
If one or more lamps fails, a message 
asks you to check the lamp or lamps 
concerned.
Driving abroad
Halogen headlamps
If planning to use your vehicle in a
  country 
that drives on the other side of the road, 
the dipped beam headlamps must be 
adjusted to avoid dazzling on-coming 
drivers. Contact a
  CITROËN dealer or 
qualified workshop.
Xenon headlamps
The design of the dipped beam headlamps 
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.

In good or rainy weather, by 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 falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your 
responsibility to switch on the foglamps 
and dipped headlamps manually as the 
sunshine sensor may detect sufficient 
light.
Switch off the front and rear foglamps 
when they are no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the 
ignition is switched off 
On switching off the ignition, all of the 
lighting turns off immediately, except for 
dipped beam headlamps if automatic 
guide-me-home lighting is activated.Switching on the lighting after the 
ignition is switched off
To reactivate the lighting control stalk, 
rotate ring A to the 0
  position – lamps off, 
then to the desired position.
On opening the driver's door a
  temporary 
audible signal warns the driver that the 
lighting is on.
It will go off automatically after a
  period of 
time that depends on the state of charge 
in battery (entering energy economy

r
 oad users that do not have their own 
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-
 
v
 ehicles whose lighting is obscured 
(for example: vehicles running behind 
a
  safety barrier on a   motor way),
-
 
v
 ehicles at the top or bottom of 
a
  steep slope, on winding roads, on 
crossroads. Clean the windscreen regularly, 
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can 
also become misted around the camera. 
In humid and cold weather, demist the 
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the 
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could 
conceal the detection camera.
