Ignition off or key in the StOP
position.
Within 2 minutes after switching off the
engine, position the ignition key in the STOP
position or remove it.
Pull the lighting stalk towards the steering
wheel.
t

he indicator lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
Each action on the lighting stalk,
pulled towards the steering
wheel, prolongs the guide me home
lighting by 30 seconds up to approximately
3
minutes. When this time has elapsed, the
lamps are switched off automatically.
Deactivate this control by keeping the stalk
pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 seconds. If your vehicle is fitted with this function:
when you leave your vehicle, the dipped
beam headlamps remain on for the selected
duration (when leaving a car park for
example).
You can adjust the sensitivity of the
sunshine sensor.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically if the light is poor.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lamps
will not be switched on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
beam headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns
to a sufficient level.
LEd dAYtIME runnInG LAMPS
On starting the vehicle, in daylight the LED
daytime running lamps come on automatically.
If the sidelamps and headlamps are switched
on manually or automatically, the daytime
running lamps go off.
Programming
For countries where exterior lighting by
day is not a legal requirement, you can
activate or deactivate the function via the
configuration menu.
The lamps are switched off automatically
when the ignition is switched off.

System which automatically changes to main
beam according to the ambient light level
and the driving conditions, using a camera
located at the top of the windscreen
This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for
the vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility and
traffic and observation of driving and vehicle
regulations.

51Activation
Operation
Once the function is activated, the system
operates as follows:
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or if
the traffic conditions do not allow illumination
of the main beam headlamps:Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
F
Flash the headlamps (going beyond the


point of resistance) to activate the function. If the situation requires a change of
headlamp beam, the driver can take over at
any time.
F
Flashing the headlamps again pauses


the function and the system changes to
"automatic illumination of headlamps"
mode.
The function is deactivated automatically
below 9 mph (15 km/h).
If main beam is still needed, flash the
headlamps again; main beam will then
remain on until the vehicle reaches a speed
of 25 mph (40 km/h).
Above 25 mph (40 km/h), the function is
reactivated automatically (provided that the
headlamps have not been flashed again in
the meantime, to change to dipped beam).

significantly reduce the state of charge of
your vehicle's battery.
travelling abroad
If using your vehicle in a country

that drives on the other side of the road,
the headlamps must be adjusted to avoid
dazzling on-coming drivers.

Do not cover the rain sensor, located at
the top centre of the windscreen.
Screenwash and headlamp wash
Pull the wiper control stalk towards you,
the screenwash is accompanied by a timed
operation of the wipers.
Depending on version, the headlamp wash is
coupled with the screenwash, it is triggered if
the dipped beam headlamps are on.
Windscreen wipers
Wiping is only active when the ignition key is
in the runn I n G position.
The control stalk has five different positions:

If your vehicle is fitted with this system, the
wiping speed is adapted automatically to the
intensity of the rainfall.
Automatic wiping: 1 notch downwards. This is
confirmed by one wipe. Must be reactivated
each time the ignition is switched on.
In this position, the sensitivity of the rain
sensor can be increased by turning the ring.
Good practice
Check that the windscreen wiper blades can
operate freely when using the wipers in icy

enables the vehicle to maintain a constant
speed programmed by the driver, except when a
considerable load is carried on a steep gradient.
In order to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than
approximately 18 mph (30 km/h), with 2nd gear
or higher engaged.

Selecting the function - On
Selecting On switches the function on. A
message appears in the instrument panel
screen to confirm the action.
Programming a speed
Accelerate to the required speed, with 2nd
to 6th gear engaged.
Move the control upwards (+), for
approximately one second, to store this
speed.
Release the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will maintain this speed.
Switching off / deactivating the function
Press the brake or clutch pedal or place
the ring in the OFF position, the indicator
goes
off.
If the dynamic stability control system comes
into operation, the cruise control system is
deactivated temporarily.
-
increase the speed in steps, by means of


brief presses, or continuously by pressing
and holding the control upwards (+ sign),
temporarily exceeding the
programmed speed
When the cruise control is active, it is still
possible to exceed the programmed speed
by depressing the accelerator pedal (to
overtake another vehicle for example).
-

decrease the speed continuously

by pressing and holding the control
downwards (- sign).

56Good practice
When changing the programmed reference
speed by pressing and holding the control,
take care as the speed may increase or
decrease rapidly.
Do not use the cruise control on slippery
roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep gradient, the cruise control will
not be able to prevent the vehicle from
exceeding the programmed speed.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to comply
with speed limits or vigilance on the part of
driver.
It is advisable to leave your feet near the
pedals.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat is positioned

correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another
.
cancelling the programmed speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores
any speed.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, the system
is switched off and the indicator
goes off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
