Get Lighting and visibility -> Wiper control stalk Guide for Citroen C4 SUV Third Generation (2020-2025)

Lighting and visibility

The function is deactivated if the foglamps

are switched on or if the system detects poor

visibility conditions (e.g. fog, heavy rain,

snowfall).

When the foglamps are switched oﬀ or when the

visibility conditions become favourable again, the

function is automatically reactivated.

This indicator lamp goes out when the

function is deactivated.

– when the corresponding direction indicator is

switched on.

– from a certain angle of rotation of the steering

wheel.

It becomes inactive:

– below a certain angle of rotation of the

steering wheel.

– above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).

– when reverse gear is engaged.

Cornering lighting

This system makes use of the beam from a front

foglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend, when

the main or dipped beam headlamps are on and

the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h)

(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking

manoeuvres).

Pause

If the situation requires a change of headlamp

beam, the driver can take over at any time.

► Switch the headlamps manually between

dipped and main beam to pause the function.

If the "AUTO" and "Dipped beam" indicator

lamps were on, the system changes to main

beam.

If the "AUTO" and "Main beam" indicator lamps

were on, the system changes to dipped beam.

► To reactivate the function, once again switch

the headlamps manually between dipped and

main beam.

Wiper control stalk

Before operating the wipers in wintry

conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost

from the windscreen and around the wiper

arms and blades.

Without/With cornering lighting

Activation/Deactivation

With Touch screen BLUETOOTH audio

system or MyCitroën Play

Do not operate the wipers on a dry

windscreen. In extremely hot or cold

weather, check that the wiper blades are not

stuck to the windscreen before operating the

wipers.

It is conﬁgured via the Driving touch

screen menu.

With MyCitroën Drive

Malfunction

It is conﬁgured via the Vehicle touch

screen menu.

After using an automatic car wash, you

may temporarily notice abnormal noises

and poorer wiping performance. You do not

need to replace the wiper blades.

If a malfunction occurs with the system or

the camera, this warning lamp lights up

on the instrument panel, accompanied by an

audible signal and a message.

With MyCitroën Drive Plus

It is conﬁgured in the Settings > Vehicle

touch screen application.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

Lighting and visibility

Manual

Never top up with water.

With intermittent wipers

In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is

automatically reduced when the speed of

the vehicle drops below 3 mph (5 km/h).

When the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h)

again, the wiping frequency returns to the

original frequency (fast or normal).

Front intermittent wiping

In Intermittent mode, the driver can adjust the

wiping frequency by turning the ring to one of the

5 available positions.

Single wipe

► Press and release the control stalk or brieﬂy

pull the control stalk towards you.

With automatic wipers

Windscreen wipers

The ﬁrst (upper) position corresponds to the

longest time interval between 2 wipes for light

rain.

The last (lower) position corresponds to the

shortest time interval between 2 wipes for heavy

rain.

Windscreen wash

► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and

hold.

A ﬁnal wiping cycle is performed when

screenwashing ends.

A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a

lower position triggers a conﬁrmation wiping.

► To select the wiping speed: raise or lower the

stalk to the desired position.

With automatic air conditioning, any

action on the screenwash control results

in temporary closure of the air intake to

protect the passenger compartment from any

odour.

After the ignition has been switched oﬀ

for more than 1 minute with the wiper

control stalk in the INT, 1 or 2 position, when

the ignition is switched on again:

Fast wiping (heavy rain)

Normal wiping (moderate rain)

Intermittent wipers

– the system works as soon as the vehicle

exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the outside

temperature is below +3°C.

– the system works immediately, if the

outside temperature is above +3°C.

To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do

not operate the screenwash if the

screenwash reservoir is empty.

Only operate the screenwash if there is no

risk of the ﬂuid freezing on the windscreen

and hindering visibility. During the winter

period, use "very cold climate" rated products.

Automatic wipers

Switching oﬀ

Lighting and visibility

Adjusting the sensitivity

In winter, wait until the windscreen is

completely clear of ice before activating the

automatic wipers.

Automatic windscreen

wipers

In AUTO mode, the front wipers work

automatically and adapt to the intensity of

precipitation depending on the sensitivity of the

sensor selected.

The rainfall detection function uses a rain/

sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the

windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.

Malfunction

If a fault occurs with the automatic wipers, the

wipers operate in intermittent mode.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualiﬁed workshop.

The ﬁrst position (upper) corresponds to the

lowest sensitivity of the sensor.

The last position (lower) corresponds to the

highest sensitivity of the sensor.

The higher the sensitivity, the faster the system

reacts and increases the wiping frequency.

A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a

lower position triggers a conﬁrmation wiping.

In certain weather conditions (e.g. fog,

frost, snow, projections on salty roads),

the driver may have to return to manual

wiping.

Special position of the

windscreen wipers

This maintenance position is used while cleaning

or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be

useful, in wintry weather (ice, snow), to release

the wiper blades from the windscreen.

After the ignition has been switched oﬀ

for more than 1 minute with the wiper

control stalk in the AUTO position, when the

ignition is switched on again:

– the system works, depending on the

volume of rain detected, as soon as the

vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the

outside temperature is below +3°C.

– the system works immediately, depending

on the volume of rain detected, if the outside

temperature is above +3°C.

Switching on/oﬀ

To switch on:

► Put the wiper control stalk in the AUTO

position.

► Turn the ring to adjust the sensitivity of the

sensor.

A wiping cycle, accompanied by the display of

a message, conﬁrms that the request has been

taken into account.

► To switch oﬀ, put the wiper control stalk in

another position or in the 0 position.

To maintain the eﬀectiveness of the ﬂat

wiper blades, it is advisable to:

– handle them with care.

– clean them regularly using soapy water.

– avoid using them to hold cardboard on the

windscreen.

– replace them at the ﬁrst signs of wear.

Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.

When using an automatic car wash,

switch oﬀ the automatic wipers and the

ignition.

once again hold each arm by the rigid section,

then guide it carefully onto the windscreen.

Operating the wiper control stalk immediately

operations from the driver's side.

► Starting with the wiper blade farthest from

you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise

it as far as possible.

► To return the wiper blades to their initial

position after the operation, switch on the ignition

and operate the wiper control stalk.

Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of

irreparable deformation.

Do not release them while moving them. Risk

of damaging the windscreen!

► Clean the windscreen using screenwash

ﬂuid.

Do not apply "Rain X" type water-

repellent products.
