CITROEN C3 Picasso 2011 Owner's Handbook Manual page 75

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.
On vehicles fi tted with daytime run-
ning lamps, the dipped beams come on
when the vehicle is started.
This warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls (instru-
ment panel, multifunction screen, air
conditioning control panel, etc.) are not
illuminated, except on switching to the
automatic lighting mode or when the
lighting is switched on manually.
This function can be activated/deactivat-
ed by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

Manual guide-me-home lighting
Temporarily keeping the dipped beam
headlamps on after the vehicle's igni-
tion has been switched off makes the
driver's exit easier when the light is
poor.
Switching on
With the ignition off, "fl ash" the
headlamps using the lighting stalk.
A further "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set
time.
Automatic illumination of
headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps
are switched on automatically, without any ac-
tion on the part of the driver, when a low level
of external light is detected or in certain cases
of activation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a suffi -
cient level or after the windscreen wipers are
switched off, the lamps are switched off auto-
matically.
Activation
Turn ring A to the "AUTO" position.
The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a mes-
sage in the multifunction screen.
Deactivation
Turn ring A to a position other than
"AUTO" . Deactivation is accompa-
nied by a message in the multifunc-
tion screen.
