Citroen DS3 1.6 HDI quetions

Unread post by joaocpereira »

Hello,

A friend recently bought a DS3, and while driving it, I noticed that the ambient light (under the radio in front of the gear lever) was flashing orange. What does that mean? I also noticed that the lights on the air conditioning controls only stay on when the air conditioning is on. Is this normal? Or is there a problem with the ambient light module? It has a touchscreen, and I looked to see if there was any ambient light function there, but I couldn't find anything.

Another question: on the headlights LED Is there only one reverse light?

I also noticed that one of the air conditioning ducts on the driver's side doesn't seem to open for cold air; only hot air comes out. Will I need to disassemble the dashboard to fix this?

Are these questions serious? :(
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Yes why? Is not a forum? To discuss and put questions? ...

Your first post is a little confusing. Can you clarify the question about the headlights LED?

It is normal that the A/C panel is only illuminated when switched on.

A problem with temperature control on one side can be due to a broken flap or control motor.
