s e n s o r m a y d e t e c t s u f fi c i e n t l i g h t .
Therefore, the lamps will not come
on automatically.
Do not cover the brightness sen-
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
Do not touch the xenon bulbs.
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 headlamps
in the lowest position.
To avoid causing a nuisance to other
road users, this system corrects the
height of the xenon headlamp beams
automatically and when stationary,
depending on the load in the vehicle.

close to the "MAX" mark but
should never exceed it.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.

In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour
after switching off the engine before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, un-
screw the cap by two turns to al-
low the pressure to drop. When the
pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide and according to your en-
gine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not re-
quire any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and cor-
rectly tightened, particularly
in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
tery, refer to the "Practical infor-
mation" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before dis-
connecting the battery and following
its reconnection.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Refer to the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide for
details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" section).

of air quality by the retaining of the
unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally no-
tice water vapour being emitted from
the exhaust when accelerating. This
is of no consequence to the running of
the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a mes-
sage appears on the instrument
panel display, accompanied by an
audible signal and lighting of the
service warning lamp.
