upwards or downwards, depending on the side
of the tra󰀩c (e.g. when parking on the right, push
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the
left).
This is conrmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
► To switch o󰀨 the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
Automatic illumination of
lamps
With the lighting control stalk in the “AUTO”
position and if a low level of exterior brightness
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
may 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 su󰀩cient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
o󰀨, the lamps are switched o󰀨 automatically.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lamps
come on and this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualied workshop.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
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 rain/sunshine sensor
may detect su󰀩cient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may
become misted up and a󰀨ect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
These LED lamps at the front and rear of the
vehicle light up automatically when the engine
starts.
They perform the following functions:
– Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk
at position "AUTO" with adequate ambient light).
– Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position
"AUTO" with low ambient light or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
In daytime running lamps mode, the
diodes are brighter.

dipped beam headlamps come on automatically
when the ignition is switched o󰀨.
You can activate/deactivate this function and
adjust the guide-me-home lighting duration in the
vehicle conguration menu.
