VENTILATION
1. Windscreen de-icing or
demisting vents.
2. Front window de-icing or
demisting vents.
3. Side vents.
4. Centre vents.
5. Air outlets to front footwells. The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
The water created by the air condi-
tioning condensation is discharged
via an opening provided for this pur-
pose. Therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer.
De-icing the rear windows and
mirrors
With the engine running, pressing
the control de-ices the rear windows
and mirrors.
It switches off automatically after
approximately twelve minutes.
Pressing the control again switches
the de-icing system on again for
twelve minutes.
It is possible to switch off the de-icing
by pressing the control before the
twelve minutes have elapsed.
Advice on operation
Select the air distribution most suited
to your requirements and the climatic
conditions.
Gradually adjust the temperature
setting for your comfort.
Position the air control in the ''Outside
Air'' position.
For perfectly even air distribution,
take care not to obstruct the exterior
air intake grille and the vents. Check
t h a t t h e p a s s e n g e r c o m p a r t m e n t fi l t e r
is in good condition.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
ventilation will increase to its optimum
level gradually.
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning (
A/C button), should only be
used with the windows closed.
If the interior temperature remains
very high following a prolonged period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment
for a few minutes.
