Lights modifications

[BigChris]

1. Is it possible to make the sidelights turn on when you unlock the car? Or even the DRLs?

2. Can the DRLs stay on at the same time as the sidelights or headlights? I was told by someone at Citroen that they can only do this on the old models.

3. I know that if you press the flasher after you turn the car off the lights stay on for 5 seconds. Is there a way to make them automatically stay on after the car is turned off? And could they stay on for 10 seconds instead of 5?

Check under 'Guide Me Home' in your handbook, but if you pull the beam light before you pull the key out the lights should stay on for about 30. Have a look for the setting in the configuration menu on the radio.

What we need is a system that makes the screen flash red and plays the theme from Jaws through the speakers every time someone types the words "DRL" and "sidelights" or "at night" in the same sentence!!

If you've got auto lights, if the lights were on before you switched off the ignition they stay on!

Only if the Guide Me Home option timer is set

I tried what you said but the lights still only stay on for 5 seconds. There is no setting in the configuration menu

From the owners manual:






Edit: Found the settings menu:



Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help Beef

Thanks for the help Beef

No worries. There was a few other pages too but that should be most of the info you need.

It's over three years since I needed to look at the configuration options! Can't say as I remember setting "Guide Me Home" - "on" is probably the default setting.
