Automatic adjustment of Xenon headlamps
Do not touch the xenon headlamp bulbs. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In order to avoid causing a nuisance to other road users, this system corrects the height of the xenon headlamp beams automatically and when stationary, in relation to the load in the vehicle.
If a malfunction occurs, this warning lamp and/or the ser vice warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. The system then places your headlamps in the lowest position.
Manual adjustment
of halogen
headlamps
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road users, the height of the halogen headlamps should 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 load. -. Intermediate setting. 3. Driver + maximum authorised load.
The initial setting is position "0" .

Directional lighting
When the dipped or main beam headlamps are on, this function, allows the light beams to better follow the road. The use of this function, coupled with the xenon
headlamps and the static intersection lighting, considerably improves the quality of your lighting when cornering.
This function is inactive: - when stationary or at low speeds, - when reverse is engaged.
The system is activated by default. with directional lighting
without directional lighting
Programming
The system is activated or deactivated in the vehicle configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in memory on switching off the ignition.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs, this warning lamp flashes in the instrument panel, accompanied by a message in the screen.

Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically, without any action on the par t of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Switching on
Briefly push stalk A downwards.
The instruction is confirmed by a wiping cycle, accompanied by
illumination of this warning lamp in the instrument panel and an activation message.
Switching off
Briefly push stalk A downwards again.
The instruction is confirmed by this warning lamp going off in the instrument panel and/or the display of a deactivation message.
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers must be reactivated
if the ignition has been off for more than one minute.
Operating fault
If an automatic rain sensitive wiper malfunction occurs, the wipers will operate in intermittent mode. Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the windscreen is completely clear of ice before activating the automatic rain sensitive wipers.

Visibility
Interior mood lighting
The dimmed passenger compar tment lighting improves v isibility in the vehicle when the light is poor.
At night, the audio system and digital air conditioning illumination, together with the illumination of the central dashboard storage box, comes on automatically when the sidelamps are on.
The interior mood lighting switches off automatically when the sidelamps are switched off. It can be switched off manually by adjusting the instrument panel lighting dimmer button to one of the lowest settings.
On cer tain versions, three LEDs, located in the rail linking the rear view mirror to the roof come on as well.

Tyre under-infl ation detection
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of the tyres while driving. Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in the event of problem (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
Puncture
The tyre under-inflation detection system is an aid to driving which does not replace the need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal, to identify the wheel concerned.
The STOP warning lamp comes on and/or this warning lamp is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the screen identifying the wheel concerned.
 Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.  Repair or change the damaged wheel (punctured or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
 Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

175Safety
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, enables you to obtain the optimum braking pressure more quickly, thus reducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an increase in braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency, press firmly without releasing the pressure.
Trajectory control systems
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. The electronic stability programme acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control. This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult sur face adhesion that could make it difficult to move off or make progress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow. In these situations, Intelligent Traction Control takes over from the ASR system, limiting the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control, even
without snow tyres and with or without chains. In extremely severe conditions (snow on top of ice, sand, deep mud…), it can be useful to
deactivate the ESP/ASR systems to allow a degree of wheel spin and so recover grip.

Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (star ting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.  Press the "ESP OFF" button, located on the left below the steering wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this indicates that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).  Press the "ESP OFF" button again to
reactivate them manually.
Operating fault
The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct functioning of these systems is assured provided that manufacturer's recommendations are obser ved on: - wheels (tyres and rims), - braking components, - electronic components, - assembly and repair procedures. After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with these systems. Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
