Citroen C3: Lighting and visibility / Direction indicators

- 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).
Three flashes
Press briefly upwards or downwards, without
going beyond the point of resistance; the
direction indicators will flash 3 times.
Parking lamps
Vehicle side marking by illumination of the
sidelamps on the traffic side only.
- Depending on version, within one minute of
switching off the ignition, operate the lighting
control stalk up or down, according to the traffic
side (for example, when parking on the left, turn
the lighting control stalk upwards; the right-hand
sidelamps come on).
This action is confirmed by an audible signal
and illumination of the corresponding direction
indicator lamp in the instrument panel.
To switch off the parking lamps, return the
lighting control stalk to the central position.
Never look too closely at
the luminous
beam of LED lamps: risk of serious eye
injury!
In some weather conditions
(e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes...
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...
Other information:
Displayed as symbols, the warning and indicator
lamps inform the driver of the occurrence of a
malfunction (warning lamps) or of the operating
status of a system (operation or deactivation
indicator lamps). Certain lamps light up in two
ways (fixed or flashing) and/or in several colours...
Driving with a trailer
places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum
towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces...
