level, recirculation of interior air is automatically

deactivated.

This function is not designed to detect

unpleasant odours.

Recirculation is automatically activated when the

windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear

is engaged.

The function is inactive if the outside temperature

is below 5°C to prevent the risk of misting on the

windscreen and side windows.

Clean air function

Using an interior air quality sensor, this function

detects fine particles (e.g. cigarette smoke).

Recirculation management of interior air makes

it possible to return to a purified passenger

compartment in just a few minutes, thanks

to the passage of air through the passenger

compartment filter.

52

Ease of use and comfort

When the system detects thick fog, it

temporarily deactivates the function.

Operation

If the ambient light level is very low and traffic

conditions permit:

– The main beam headlamps

come on automatically. These

indicator lamps come on on the instrument

panel.

If the ambient light level is sufficient and/or the

traffic conditions do not allow the main beam

headlamps to be lit:

– The dipped beam headlamps

remain lit. These indicator lamps

come on 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 off or when the

visibility conditions become favourable again, the

function is automatically reactivated.

This indicator lamp goes out when the

function is deactivated.

If the function is selected but the display

on the instrument panel and the alerts are

not available, the indicator lamp comes on in

grey.

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.

Malfunction

If a malfunction occurs with the system or

the camera, this warning lamp is

displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied

by an audible signal and a message.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Cornering lighting

foglamp to illuminate the inside of a bend, when

the main or dipped beam headlamps are on and

the vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h)

(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking

manoeuvres).
