the reinitialisation.

The new pressure settings registered are
considered to be reference values by the
system.

Operating fault

The flashing and then fixed illumination of the
under-inflation warning lamp accompanied
by illumination of the Service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
A message appears, accompanied by an
audible signal.

Before doing anything to the system,
the pressures of the four tyres must be
checked and the system reinitialised.

The under-inflation alert can only be
relied on if reinitialisation of the system
is done with the four tyre pressures
correctly set.

In this case, under-inflation monitoring of the
tyres is no longer assured.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

electronic key or the Keyless Entry and
Starting system.

From inside: with the ignition on, pull the

control A

in the central position rearwards.

If the mirrors are folded using control A,
they will not unfold when the vehicle is
unlocked. Pull again on control A.

The folding and unfolding of the door
mirrors using the remote control can be
deactivated by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

Lighting control stalk

Main lighting

The various front and rear lamps of the vehicle
are designed to adapt the driver's visibility
progressively according to the climatic
conditions:
- sidelamps, to be seen,
- daytime running lamps to be more visible

during the day,

- dipped beam headlamps to see without

dazzling other drivers,

- main beam headlamps to see clearly when

the road is clear.

Additional lighting

Other lamps are provided to meet the
requirements of particular driving conditions:
-  rear foglamps,
-  front foglamps with cornering lighting,
-  directional headlamps for improved

visibility when cornering,

- guide-me-home and welcome lighting to

facilitate access to the vehicle,

- parking lamps as vehicle position markers.

Programming

The setting of some functions can be adjusted:
-  automatic illumination of headlamps,
-  automatic headlamp dipping,
-  guide-me-home lighting,
-  welcome lighting,
-  cornering lighting,
-  directional lighting.

In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

Travelling abroad

Halogen headlamps
For motoring in countries that drive
on the other side of the road, it is
necessary to adapt the adjustment of
the dipped beams so as to not dazzle
the drivers of approaching vehicles.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Xenon headlamps
The design of the dipped beam
headlamps allows you to drive in a
country that drives on the other side
of the road, without the need for any
modification.

In the event of the failure of one or more
bulbs, a message advises you to check
the lamp(s) in question.

Operation of the rear foglamps is
inhibited with the tailgate open.
Opening the tailgate when these lamps
are on causes them and their indicator
lamp in the instrument panel to go off.
They do not come back on
automatically when the tailgate is
closed: they must be switched on again
using the control stalk.

In good or rainy weather, by both day
and night, the front foglamps and the
rear foglamps are prohibited. In these
situations, the power of their beams
may dazzle other drivers. They should
only be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you
should switch on the foglamps and
dipped beam headlamps manually,
as the sunshine sensor may detect
sufficient light.
Do not forget to switch off the front and
rear foglamps when they are no longer
necessary.

Switching off the lighting
when switching off the ignition

When the ignition is switched off, all of the
lamps switch off immediately, except for
the dipped beam headlamps if automatic
guide-me-home lighting is activated.

This system is a driving aid.
The driver remains responsible for the
vehicle's lighting, its correct use for the
prevailing conditions of light, visibility
and traffic and observation of driving
