Citroen C3: Lighting and visibility / Automatic illumination of headlamps
When the ring is at the “AUTO" position and
a low level of ambient light 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 sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.
Switching on/off

- To activate it, turn the ring to the "AUTO"
position.
- To deactivate it, turn the ring to any other
position.
When the function is activated or deactivated, a
message is displayed.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of
the rain/
sunshine sensor, the vehicle’s lighting
comes on and this warning lamp is displayed in
the instrument panel, accompanied by an
audible signal and/or the display of a message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
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 sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the
windscreen may
become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you forget to cancel the
direction
indicators for more than 20 seconds, the
volume of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 50 mph (80 km/h)...
These 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 "0" or "AUTO" with adequate ambient
light)...
