Operation of the selected lighting is

conﬁrmed by the illumination of the

corresponding indicator lamp.

They only work if the sidelamps are on.

Switching on the foglamps is prohibited

in clear weather or in rain, both day and

night. In these situations, the power of their

beams may dazzle other drivers. They must

only be used in fog or falling snow (rules may

vary depending on country).

Do not forget to switch oﬀ the foglamps when

they are no longer necessary.

► Rotate the ring forwards/backwards to turn

them on/oﬀ.

When the lighting is switched oﬀ automatically

("AUTO" position) the foglamps and the dipped

When the ignition is switched oﬀ, all of the

lamps turn oﬀ immediately, except for the

dipped beam headlamps if automatic guide-

me-home lighting is activated.

Three ﬂashes

► Press brieﬂy upwards or downwards, without

going beyond the point of resistance; the

direction indicators will ﬂash 3 times.

Switching on the lamps after

switching oﬀ the ignition

If the driver's door is opened, a temporary

audible signal warns the driver that the lamps

are on.

They will go oﬀ automatically after a period

of time that depends on the level of charge in

the battery (entering energy economy mode).

Travelling abroad

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 oncoming drivers.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁed

workshop.

Parking lamps

(Depending on version)

Vehicle side marking by lighting the sidelamps

on the traﬃc side only.

► Within one minute after switching oﬀ the

ignition, operate the lighting control stalk

upwards or downwards, depending on the side

of the traﬃc (e.g. when parking on the right, push

the lighting control stalk down to light up on the

left).

This is conﬁrmed by an audible signal and the

lighting of the corresponding direction indicator

lamp on the instrument panel.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low

temperature or humidity), misting on the

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps

and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear

after the lamps have been on for a few

minutes.

Direction indicators

Never look too closely at the light beam

of LED technology lamps - risk of serious

eye injury!

► To switch oﬀ the parking lamps, return the

lighting control stalk to the central position.

on if rain is detected, at the same time as the

automatic rain sensitive wipers.

As soon as the brightness returns to a suﬃcient

level or after the windscreen wipers are switched

oﬀ, the lamps are switched oﬀ automatically.

In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor

may detect suﬃcient light. For this

reason, the lighting will not come on

automatically.

The inner surface of the windscreen may

become misted up and aﬀect the proper

operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.

In humid and cold weather, demist the

windscreen regularly.

The front lamps light up automatically when the

engine starts.

They provide the following functions:

► Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position. When

the function is activated, a message is also

displayed.

► Turn the ring to another position. An

onscreen message is displayed to conﬁrm that

the function has been deactivated.
