Automatic Illumination Of Headlamps - CITROEN Grand C4 PICASSO Owner's Handbook Manual

Automatic illumination
of headlamps
When a low level of ambient light is detected
by a 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 can 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
sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers
are switched off, the lamps are switched off
automatically.

Turn the ring to the "AUTO" position. The
activation of the function is accompanied
by the display of a message.
Deactivation
Turn the ring to another position.
Deactivation of the function is
accompanied by the display of a message.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
sunshine sensor, the lighting comes
on, this warning lamp is displayed
in the instrument panel accompanied by an
audible signal and/or a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. In this case, the
lighting will not come on automatically.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
coupled with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the windscreen
behind the rear view mirror; the
associated functions would no longer
be controlled.

home" lighting
