Automatic Illumination Of Headlamps - CITROEN C3 Picasso 2013 Owner's Handbook Manual

i
In some climatic conditions (e.g.
low temperature or humidity), the
presence of misting on the internal
surface of the glass of the head-
lamps and rear lamps is normal;
it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a few minutes.
Daytime running lamps *
On vehicles fi tted with daytime run-
ning lamps, the dipped beams come on
when the vehicle is started.
This warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel.
The instruments and controls (instru-
ment panel, multifunction display, air
conditioning control panel, etc.) are not
lit, except on switching to the automatic
lighting mode or when the lighting is
switched on manually.
This function can be activated/deacti-
vated by a CITROËN dealer.
* According to country.
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 head-
lamps using the lighting stalk B .
 A second "headlamp fl ash" switches
the function off again.
Switching off
The manual guide-me-home lighting
switches off automatically after a set
time.
VISIBILITY

headlamps
The sidelamps and dipped beam head-
lamps are switched on automatically,

As soon as the brightness returns to a
suffi cient level or after the windscreen
wipers are switched off, the lamps are
switched off automatically.

The automatic illumination of head-
lamps is accompanied by a mes-
sage on the multifunction screen.
