Citroen C3: Lighting and visibility / Daytime running lamps/Sidelamps
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).
- Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position
"AUTO" with low ambient light or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
In daytime running lamps
mode, the
diodes are brighter.
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...
