home lighting in the Settings > Vehicle touch  
screen application.  
You can activate/deactivate this function  
and adjust the welcome lighting duration

Manual  
With MyCitroën Drive  
You can activate/deactivate this function  
and adjust the welcome lighting duration  
in the Vehicle touch screen menu.  
Operating limits  
The system may be disrupted or not work  
correctly:  
With MyCitroën Drive Plus  
– When visibility conditions are poor  
(e.g. snowfall, heavy rain).  
– If the windscreen is dirty, misted-up or  
masked (e.g. sticker) in front of the camera.  
– If the vehicle is facing highly reflective signs  
or safety barrier reflectors.  
You can activate/deactivate this function  
and adjust the duration of the welcome  
lighting in the Settings > Vehicle touch screen  
application.  
► With the ignition off, pull the lighting control  
stalk toward you ("headlamp flash") to activate/  
deactivate the function.  
Manual guide-me-home lighting goes off  
automatically after a period of time.  
The system is not able to detect:  
– Road users that do not have their own  
lighting, such as pedestrians.  
– Vehicles with hidden lighting (e.g. travelling  
behind a safety barrier on the motorway).  
– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep  
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.  
Door mirror spotlamps  
These spotlamps facilitate access to the vehicle  
by lighting the ground near the front doors.  
When the front courtesy lamp switch is in  
this position, the spotlamps come on  
automatically:  
Welcome lighting  
When the vehicle is unlocked in low light  
conditions and the "Automatic illumination of  
headlamps" function is activated, this system  
automatically switches on:  
– when the vehicle is unlocked.  
– when a door is opened.  
Maintenance  
– when a request to locate the vehicle is  
received from the remote control.  
Whatever the position of the front courtesy lamp  
switch, they also come on with the welcome  
lighting and guide-me-home lighting functions.  
They go off automatically after 30 seconds.  
Clean the windscreen regularly,  
particularly the area in front of the camera.  
The internal surface of the windscreen can  
also become misted around the camera.  
In humid and cold weather, demist the  
windscreen regularly.  
– Outside, sidelamps, dipped beam headlamps  
and door mirror spotlamps.  
– Inside, courtesy lamps and footwell lighting.

Automatic headlamp  
dipping  
With MyCitroën Drive  
The settings are changed via the Vehicle  
touch screen menu.  
For more information, refer to the  
General recommendations for  
automatic lighting systems.  
With MyCitroën Drive Plus  
The settings are changed via the  
Settings > Vehicle touch screen  
application.  
The state of the system is stored when the  
ignition is switched off.  
With the ring of the lighting control stalk in the  
"AUTO" position and the function activated on  
the touch screen, this system automatically  
switches between dipped and main beam  
headlamps, according to lighting and traffic  
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 in the  
prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions,  
and for compliance with driving and vehicle  
regulations.  
When the system detects thick fog, it  
temporarily deactivates the function.  
Operation  
If the ambient light level is very low and traffic  
conditions permit:  
– The main beam headlamps  
come on automatically. These  
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.  
If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the  
traffic conditions do not allow the main beam  
headlamps to be lit:  
The system becomes operational when  
the vehicle exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h).  
When the speed falls below 9 mph (15 km/h),  
the function is no longer operational.  
– The dipped beam headlamps  
remain lit. These indicator lamps  
light up on the instrument panel.
