Lighting and visibility
Daytime running lamps/
sidelamps
The front and rear lamps light up automatically
when the engine starts.
They provide the following functions:
- Daytime running lamps (lighting control
stalk at position "AUTO" with adequate light
level).
- Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at "AUTO"
position with low light levels or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
The LEDs are brighter when operating as
daytime running lamps.
Parking lamps
Side markers for the vehicle by illumination of
the sidelamps on the traffic side only.
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 can also come
on if rain is detected, at the same time as
automatic operation of the windscreen 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.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of
the sunshine sensor, the lighting
comes on and this warning lamp is
displayed in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal
and/or a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, linked
with the rain sensor and located at the
top centre of the windscreen behind the
interior rear view mirror; the associated
functions would no longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
F Depending on version, within one minute
of switching off the ignition, operate the
lighting control stalk up or down depending
on the traffic side (for example: when
parking on the left; lighting control stalk
upwards; the right-hand sidelamps come
on).
This 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.
