h i n d t h e fl a p s i n t h e b o o t . The water formed by the air conditioning
condensation is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose. 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 have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
THE AIR CONDITIONING
Do not cover the temperature and hu-
midity sensor

sor

They are required for regulation of the
air conditioning.
Advice on operation
In hot weather, in order to obtain in-
tense ventilation, it is advisable to
use vents 1 and
4 only.
If, when the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long time, the interior
temperature remains very high, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passen-
ger compartment for a few minutes. Switch off the air conditioning when
the climatic conditions permit.
Use of the automatic regulation of the
air conditioning is recommended. It per-
mits automatic and optimised control of
a l l o f t h e f o l l o w i n g f u n c t i o n s : a i r fl o w ,

venting the need for you to change your
reference settings other than the value
displayed.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
u s e ( t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m l o a d o n a
steep gradient in hot weather), cutting
off the air conditioning permits recovery
of the engine power and therefore im-
provement of the towing capacity.

If you drive in a dusty environment, re-
place it twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and is not harmful 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.
