AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF
THE XENON HEADLAMPS

On vehicles which are fi tted with xenon
headlamps, this system automatically
corrects the height of the light beam,
regardless of the load in the vehicle.
The driver is then guaranteed optimum
lighting without dazzling other road
users.
Cancelling:
-
"fl ash" the headlamps,
-
get out of the vehicle and lock it.
If your vehicle is fi tted
with a brightness
sensor, the side lights
and dipped beam
headlamps switch on
automatically if the
light is poor, or during operation of the
windscreen wipers. They switch off
as soon as the light becomes bright
enough or the windscreen wipers stop.
This function is not compatible with the
daytime lights.

WINDSCREEN WIPER STALK

Manual windscreen wipers

Special position of the
windscreen wipers
In the minute following switching
off of the ignition, any action on the
stalk positions the wipers against the
windscreen uprights.
This action enables you to position
the wiper blades for winter parking,
cleaning or replacement.

Vehicle fitted with the
automatic windscreen
wipers control
Do not cover the rain sensor
located in the centre of the fascia.
On vehicles which are fi tted with
this control, in the AUTO
position,
the windscreen wipers operate
automatically and adapt their speed
to the intensity of the rainfall
.
When not in AUTO
mode, for the
other positions, refer to the manual
windscreen wipers section.
The command must be reactivated
whenever the ignition has been
switched off for more than one
minute:

-


move the stalk to any position,

- then move it back to the required
position.

position after this has been done,
switch on the ignition and move the
stalk.
To top up the levels, refer to the
"Levels" section of chapter 6.

Mirrors and windows


Manual rear view mirror

The rear view mirror has two positions:


- day (normal),

- night (anti-dazzle).
To change from one to the other, push
or pull the lever on the lower edge of
the mirror.


Automatic day/night interior
mirror
This automatically and gradually
changes between the day and night
positions. To prevent dazzling,
the glass of the mirror darkens
automatically depending on the
intensity of the light from behind.
It clears as the light (headlamps of
following vehicles, sunlight) decreases,
ensuring maximum visibility.

Special feature
To ensure maximum visibility during
manoeuvres, the mirror clears
automatically when reverse gear is
engaged.

Towing a trailer

On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually.


Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. The driver is then assured
of having optimum lighting and not
causing a nuisance to other road
users.


In certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, cutting off the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be
recovered, and therefore the towing
speed to be signifi cantly increased
(approximately 12 mph [20 km/h]
more). Sequential control of the
gearbox may also become unavailable.

Lighting

Bicycle carrier

Refer to the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 8. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 7.




If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure.
Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.






Towbar

We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
Towing equipment must be fi tted in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
the electrical connection. As this fi tting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
with fi tting a towbar or other electrical
accessory which is not recommended
by the CITROËN network. Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure
of your vehicle's electronic system.
Please contact a CITROËN dealer fi rst
for further information.
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
If you fi t a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display's
confi guration menu.
