Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature
remains very high after
a prolonged period parked in the
s u n , fi r s t v e n t i l a t e t h e p a s s e n g e r
compartment for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the outside
air inlet grille, the vents, the air
passages and the air outlets to the
footwells.
Ensure that the passenger
c o m p a r t m e n t fi l t e r , l o c a t e d b e l o w
the windscreen, in the engine
compartment, is in good condition.
H a v e t h e fi l t e r e l e m e n t s r e p l a c e d
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice as
often.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
In order to ensure that your air
conditioning system continues to
operate correctly, you are advised to
have it checked regularly.
The condensation created by the air
c o n d i t i o n i n g r e s u l t s i n a fl o w o f w a t e r
under the vehicle when stationary
which is perfectly normal.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer.
3. Side vents.
4. Diffusion grille.
5. Air outlets to the footwells.
1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting

As soon as possible, move control 4
to the right to the "Intake of exterior

In a humid climate, use of the
air recirculation may cause
misting of the windows. Switch the system off as
soon as you consider
this necessary as a lower
consumption of current
reduces fuel consumption.

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of
an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts
or the child seat harness k e e p i n g
t h e s l a c k in relation to the child's
body to a minimum , even for short
journeys.
For optimum installation of the
"forward facing" child seat, ensure
that the back of the child seat is in
contact with the back of the vehicle's
seat and that the head restraint does
not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be
removed, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied
by other children, cannot be used or
are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag
when a "rear facing" child seat is
installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
w e r e t o i n fl a t e . As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To protect young children from the
r a y s o f t h e s u n , fi t s i d e b l i n d s o n t h e
rear windows.
I n s t a l l i n g a b o o s t e r s e a t
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
b o o s t e r s e a t w h i c h h a s a b a c k , fi t t e d
with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
