For the day position , the lever is pushed.

For the night position to prevent dazzle,
pull the lever towards you.
Exterior mirrors
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.

Ventilation
DE-ICING AND DEMISTING
Windscreen
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 eight air outlets.
The manual air conditioning consists of the
pollen filter and air recirculation.
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.
Manual mode
Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
de-icing and demisting of the
windscreen: - increase the air flow setting,
Returning to the exterior air intake
position permits renewal of the air
in the passenger compartment.
Rear screen and mirrors de-icing
This function 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 an excessive
consumption of energy. It switches off when
the engine is switched off. Pressing this
button switches the function off.
- move the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.

ERGONOMICS and COMFORT
Ventilation
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 . VENTS
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are:
- 2 adjustable central vents,
- 2 adjustable and closing side vents,
- 2 vents directed towards the floor of the vehicle.

Child safety
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child’s protection in
the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack in
relation to the child’s body to a minimum ,
even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the “forward
facing” child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is in contact with the back of
the vehicle’s seat and that the head restraint
does not cause any discomfort. Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child’s shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child’s thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.

To prevent accidental opening of the doors,
use the “Child lock”.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the side windows.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached securely
to prevent it from being thrown around the
vehicle in the event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the “forward facing” position on the front
passenger seat, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children, cannot
be used or are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when a “rear
facing” child seat is installed on the front
seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag were
to inflate.
