Front and rear foglamps

Daytime running lamps

Rotate ring B forwards to switch on and

rearwards to switch off. The status is

confirmed by the warning lamp in the

instrument panel.

Depending on the country in which the vehicle

is sold, the vehicle may be equipped with

daytime running lamps. The dipped headlamps

come on when the vehicle is started.

These operate with the sidelamps and the

dipped beam headlamps.

To switch off the front and rear

foglamps, turn the ring rearwards

HEADLAMP BEAM

If the sunshine sensor does not

function correctly, the lighting comes

on accompanied by the service warning

lamp, an audible signal and a message in

the screen.

In foggy weather or in snow, the

sunshine sensor may detect sufficient

light. As a consequence, the lighting will not

come on automatically. If necessary, you

must switch on the dipped beam headlamps

manually.

Depending on the load in your

vehicle, the beam setting must

be adjusted.

0 - No load.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

1 - Partial load.

2 - Average load.

3 - Maximum authorised load.

Initial setting is position 0.

Do not cover the sunshine sensor

located on the windscreen, behind

the mirror. It is used for the automatic

illumination of headlamps and for the

automatic rain sensitive wipers.

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.

Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

There are two methods

of memorising a speed

higher than the previous

one:

-

Press this button or

the brake or clutch

pedal.

-

Press the SET - or SET + button.

This programmes/activates the reference

speed and the vehicle will maintain this

speed.

Without using the accelerator:

press the Set + button.

-

A brief press increases the speed by 1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press increases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).

-

press the Set - button.

A brief press decreases the speed

by 1 mph (km/h).

A maintained press decreases the speed in

steps of 5 mph (km/h).

Good practice

When changing the programmed reference

speed by means of a maintained press,

pay attention as the speed can increase or

decrease rapidly.

FIXED SPEED LIMITER

Do not use the cruise control on slippery

roads or in heavy traffic.

If your vehicle is fitted with this function,

the speed of your vehicle can be limited to

a fixed speed of approximately 56, 60, 70

or 80 mph (90, 100, 110 or 130 km/h). The

fixed maximum speed cannot be changed.

In the event of a steep slope, the cruise

control cannot prevent the vehicle from

exceeding the programmed speed.

Switching the function off

-

Place the dial in position 0 or switch off

the ignition to switch everything off.

In any event, the cruise control cannot

replace the need to observe the speed limits,

nor can it replace the need for vigilance and

responsibility on the part of the driver.

Cancelling the programmed

reference speed

The fixed speed limiter is not a function

of the cruise control type. It cannot be

activated or deactivated by the driver while

driving.

It is advisable to leave your feet near the

pedals.

When the vehicle becomes stationary, after

switching off the ignition, the system no

longer memorises a speed.

To avoid any jamming under the pedals:

-

ensure that the mat and its fixings on the

floor are positioned correctly,
