CORRECT USE OF THE VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
Vents
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are adjustable central and side vents
which can be directed sideways (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.

Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, if fitted on your vehicle, 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. If your vehicle is fitted with automatic
air conditioning, use the AUTO
mode as much as possible as it permits
optimised control of all of the functions:
air flow, passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air intake
mode or air recirculation in the passenger
compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in perfect working order.
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 consult a CITROËN dealer .
