Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature re-
mains very high after a pro-
longed period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passen-
ger compartment for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the out-
side air inlet grille, the vents, the air
passages and the air outlets to the
footwells.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter, located below the wind-
screen, in the engine compartment,
is in good condition. Have the fi lter
elements replaced 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 condi-
tioning system continues to operate
correctly, you are advised to have it
checked regularly.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a fl ow of wa-
ter 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.

5. Air outlets to the footwells.

1. Windscreen de-icing or

2. Side window de-icing or

The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine
and does not present any
danger to the ozone layer.

To maintain a certain level of comfort
in the passenger compartment, avoid
position

to the movement of the vehicle, can
still be felt.

4. Air recirculation/Air intake
The recirculation of interior
air (control 4 to the left) ena-
bles you to isolate the pas-
senger compartment from
exterior odours and smoke. 5. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side windows
The air distribution can be ad-
justed by placing the control
in an intermediate position. Windscreen, side windows
and footwells.

Diffusion grille and side vents.
6. Rear screen demisting
As soon as possible, move control 4
to the right to the "Intake of exterior
air" position to avoid the risks of dete-
rioration of the air quality and misting
of the windscreen and side windows. The intake of exterior air
(control
4 to the right) enables
you to prevent and eliminate
misting of the windscreen
and side windows. With the engine running,
press button
6 , the indicator
light comes on.
The system demists the
rear screen.
It is switched off by pressing control 6 .
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 con-
sumption of current reduces
fuel consumption.
De-icing and demisting
To quickly de-ice or demist the wind-
screen and side windows:
- set the air distribution to "Windscreen and side windows",
- place the temperature control
2 and the air fl ow control 3 at
maximum,
- close the side vents,
- place the air intake control 4 in
the "Air intake" position,
- switch on the air conditioning by pressing button 1 .

CHECKS
CHECKS Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in accor-
dance with the servicing schedule. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and characteristics.
In order to optimise the op-
eration of units as important as the
braking circuit, CITROËN selects
and offers specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the elec-
trical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule,
refer to the pages of the servicing
booklet which correspond to your
vehicle's engine.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat-
tery checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced regu-
larly.
If you drive in dusty conditions,
change them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear status
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's ser-
vicing schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is pos-
sible to restart it to drive a
short distance by operating
the pump at least 10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the cir-
cuit must be reprimed:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual repriming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the protective
cover which must fi rst be unclipped
and then removed,
- operate the starter until the en- gine starts.

Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximately
15 seconds of attempts, op-
erate the repriming pump
again approximately fi fteen times be-
fore trying again.
If the emission control warning light has
come on, it will only switch off after your
vehicle has been used several times.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
