CITROEN C3 2022 - Automatic headlamp dipping

Lighting and visibility
Operation
If the ambient light level is very low and tra󰀩c
conditions permit:
– The main beam headlamps
come on automatically. These
indicator lamps light up on the instrument panel.
If the ambient light level is su󰀩cient and/or the
tra󰀩c conditions do not allow the main beam
headlamps to be lit:
– The dipped beam headlamps
remain lit. These indicator lamps
light up on the instrument panel.
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 o󰀨 or when the
visibility conditions become favourable again, the
function is automatically reactivated.
This indicator lamp goes out when the
function is deactivated.
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.
The system may be disrupted or not work
correctly:
– When visibility conditions are poor
(snowfall, heavy rain, etc.).
– If the windscreen in front of the camera is
dirty, misted or obscured (for example, by a
sticker).
– If the vehicle is facing highly reective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
– Road users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians.
– Vehicles whose lighting is obscured (for
example, vehicles driving behind a safety
barrier on a motorway).
– Vehicles at the top or bottom of a steep
slope, on winding roads, on crossroads.
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.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
obstruct the detection camera.
Malfunction
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.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualied workshop.
Headlamp beam height
adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road users,
the height of the headlamp beams should be
