Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
de-icing and demisting of the
windscreen:
De-icing the rear screen and mirrors
Only operates when the engine
is running. Pressing this button
activates the rapid demisting-
de-icing of the rear screen and
mirrors.
This function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive energy consumption. It
stops when the engine is switched off but
resumes when the engine is started again.
Pressing this button switches the function off.
- increase the air flow setting,
- move the exterior air intake control temporarily to air
recirculation.
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness of
the de-icing and demisting. Do not obstruct
these air outlets.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
The air recirculation (which can be activated
by the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, the norm is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR
CONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment for a
few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer.
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete the
equipment.

If your vehicle is fitted with these controls,
they are located on the fascia panel on the
centre console control panel. Temperature adjustment
Control positioned:
- in the blue zone triggers cool air, Air flow
The force of the blown air, from
the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4. Remember to adjust
this control in order to reach the
ambient air comfort level. To switch off the
blower, place the control in position 0.
Air conditioning
The air conditioning mode can only operate
with the engine running. The air blower must be set to at
least 1.
Pressing the button triggers the
operation of the air conditioning,
the diode is lit. Pressing the button again
switches the function off and the diode is
switched off. Air distribution
The air supply distribution is directed by the
control turned towards:
the side vents and the central

Air distribution
Pressing lights the diode on the buttons
which distribute the air flow towards:
the windscreen and front side

Intake of exterior air/
recirculation of interior air
When the diode is lit, the air
recirculates inside the passenger
compartment to prevent the entry of exterior
odours and smoke. This position should be
temporary.
When the ambient air comfort level has been
reached, pressing the button switches the
diode off and reopens the exterior air intake.
Pressing the AUTO button also restores
the intake of exterior air. Returning to this
position permits renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting.
Pressing the AUTO button again restores
the FULL AUTO function.

Practical information
Sliding side windows Depending on the vehicle's
equipment, the side windows of
row 2 can be opened.
Squeeze the two controls then
slide the window.
While driving, the window must be closed or
secured in an intermediate position.
Step
To make access and exit easier, your vehicle
may be fitted with a step which unfolds when
the sliding side door is opened.
Courtesy lights
If fitted on your vehicle, one or two courtesy
lights are located above the rear and side
doors.
They can be activated by:
- tilting the courtesy light (to the left or to
the right),
- opening or closing the rear or side doors.
This lighting switches off automatically, after
a few minutes, if the doors are left open. Roof box
This is a storage compartment located in the
load space, above the cab roof. Its capacity
varies depending on the height of the van
roof.

MIRRORS AND WINDOWS
MIRRORS Exterior mirrors These are divided into two zones:
A - Upper mirror
B - Lower mirror
The mirror glass is spherical in order to
widen the lateral field of vision. Objects
seen in the mirror are in reality closer than
they appear. Therefore, this must be taken
into account in order to assess the distance
correctly.
The shell incorporates the direction indicator
side repeater and the aerials, according to
the equipment available on board (GPS,
G S M , R a d i o , . . . ) . Electrical controls
Turn the control to select the mirror zone.
1 Driver's mirror:
A1 - Upper mirror
B1 - Lower mirror
Then move the control in the direction of the
adjustment required.
2 Passenger mirror:
A2 - Upper mirror
B2 - Lower mirror
Then move the control in the direction of the
adjustment required.
Interior mirror
The lever located on the lower edge moves
the mirror into two positions.
For the day position, the lever is pushed.
For the night position to prevent dazzle, pull
the lever towards you.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS
A. Driver's electric window control
B. Passenger electric window control You have two options: Automatic operation
Press or pull control A/B, beyond the point of
resistance: the window opens or closes fully
when the control is released.
Pressing the control again stops the
movement of the window.
Manual operation
Press or pull control A, without passing the
point of resistance.
The window stops when you release the
control. Good practice
Always remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
If the electric windows meet an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, he must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passengers
use the electric windows correctly.
Be aware of children when operating the
windows.
The electrical functions of the electric
windows are deactivated one minute after
the ignition is switched off.
