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.  
The foglamps operate with the dipped and main  
beam headlamps.

avoid dazzling oncoming drivers. Contact a  
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

it on/off.  
Headlamp dipping  
When the lighting is switched off automatically

► Press and rotate the ring:  
Switching on the lamps after  
switching off the ignition  
volume of the audible signal will increase if  
the speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h).  
– forwards a 1st time to switch on the front  
foglamps.  
– forwards a 2nd time to switch on the rear  
foglamp.  
– backwards a 1st time to switch off the rear  
foglamp.  
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the  
ring to the "0" position - lamps off, then to the  
desired position.  
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary  
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps  
are on.  
Three flashes  
► Press briefly upwards or downwards, without  
going beyond the point of resistance; the  
direction indicators will flash 3 times.  
– backwards a 2nd time to switch off the front  
foglamps.  
The lamps, with the exception of the  
sidelamps, switch off automatically after a  
maximum duration of 30 minutes to prevent  
discharging of the battery.  
Parking lamps  
Vehicle side marking by illumination of the  
sidelamps on the traffic side only.  
When the lamps are switched off automatically  
(with AUTO model) or when the dipped beam  
headlamps are switched off manually, the  
foglamps and sidelamps remain on.  
► Rotate the ring backwards to switch the  
foglamps off; the sidelamps will then switch off.  
► Depending on version, within one minute of  
switching off the ignition, operate the lighting  
control stalk up or down, according to the traffic  
side (for example, when parking on the left, turn  
the lighting control stalk upwards; the right-hand  
sidelamps come on).  
This action is confirmed by an audible signal  
and illumination of the corresponding direction  
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.  
To switch off the parking lamps, return the  
lighting control stalk to the central position.  
Direction indicators  
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.  
Automatic illumination of  
headlamps  
When the ring is at the “AUTO" position and  
a low level of ambient light is detected by the  
rain/sunshine sensor, the number plate lamps,  
sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are  
switched on automatically, without any action on  
the part of the driver. They may also come on if

stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
