Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
t i o n s : a i r fl o w , t e m p e r a t u r e i n t h e
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sun-
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.
Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode (by
pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave
all of the vents open, optimum comfort
will be maintained and humidity and
condensation will be removed regard-
less of the exterior climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.
HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed. If the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very
h i g h , fi r s t v e n t i l a t e t h e p a s s e n g e r
compartment with the windows
open for a few minutes, then close
the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses engine power
during its operation. As a result, the fuel
consumption of the vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures), switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power
and improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spraying
at the air inlet. Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
t h e fl a p s i n t h e b o o t .
T h e f r o n t a n d r e a r v e n t s a r e fi t t e d
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl o w a n d d i r e c t i o n . W e r e c o m m e n d
that you leave all of the vents open.

C O M F O R T As a safety precaution, these op-
erations must only be carried out
while the vehicle is stationary.
STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The steering wheel can be adjusted
for height and reach to adapt the
driving position to the size of the
driver.
Adjustment
First, adjust the driver's seat to
the most suitable position.
When stationary , pull the lever A
to unlock the steering wheel ad-
justment.
Adjust for height and reach.
Push the lever to lock the steer-
ing wheel adjustment.
A f t e r l o c k i n g , i f y o u p r e s s fi r m l y o n
the steering wheel, a slight click may
be heard.
Rear view mirror
Adjustable mirror providing a central
rearward view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system,
useful in poor light.
Manual day/night model
Adjustment
Adjust the mirror so that the
glass is directed correctly in the
"day" position.
Day/night position
Pull the lever to change to the
"night" anti-dazzle position.
Push the lever to change to the
normal "day" position.
As a safety precaution, the mirrors
must be adjusted to reduce the
"blind spot". Automatic day/night model
In order to guarantee optimum vis-
ibility during your manoeuvres, the
mirror lightens automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.
By means of a sensor, which mea-
sures the light from the rear of the
vehicle, this system automatically
and progressively changes between
the day and night uses.
It has an anti-dazzle system which
darkens the mirror glass: this reduc-
es any driver discomfort caused by
the light beam of following vehicles,

ALARM
System which protects and provides
a deterrent against theft and break-
ins. It provides the following types of
monitoring.
- Exterior perimeter
The system checks for opening of
the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries
to open a door, the boot, the bonnet...
- Interior volumetric
The system checks for any variation in
the volume in the passenger compart-
ment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks
a window, enters the passenger com-
partment or moves inside the vehicle.
- Tilt
The system checks for any change
in the attitude of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if the vehicle
is lifted, moved or knocked. Locking the vehicle with full
alarm system
Activation
Switch off the ignition and get out
of the vehicle.
Press the locking button on the
remote control.
The monitoring system is active: the
i n d i c a t o r l a m p o n t h e b u t t o n fl a s h e s
once per second.
After the locking button on the re-
mote control is pressed, the exterior
perimeter monitoring is activated
after a delay of 5 seconds and the
interior volumetric and anti-tilt moni-
toring after a delay of 45 seconds.
If an opening (door, boot...) is not
closed fully, the vehicle is not locked
but the exterior perimeter monitor-
ing will be activated after a delay of
45 seconds at the same time as the
interior volumetric and anti-lift moni-
toring. Deactivation
Press the unlocking button on
the remote control.
The alarm system is deactivated: the in-
dicator lamp on the button switches off.
Locking the vehicle with
exterior perimeter monitoring
only
Deactivate the interior volumetric
and anti-lift monitoring to avoid un-
wanted triggering of the alarm in
certain cases such as:
- leaving a pet in the vehicle,
- leaving a window partially open,
- washing your vehicle,
- changing a wheel,
- having your vehicle towed,
- transportation by sea.
Self-protection function
The system checks for the
putting out of service of its
components.
The alarm is triggered if the bat-
tery, the central control or the
wires of the siren are put out of
service or damaged.
For all work on the alarm system,
contact a CITROËN dealer. Deactivation of the interior
volumetric and anti-lift
monitoring
Switch off the ignition.
Within ten seconds, press the
button until the indicator lamp is
lit continuously.
Get out of the vehicle.
Press the locking button on the
remote control immediately.
The exterior perimeter monitoring alone is activated: the indicator lamp on the
b u t t o n fl a s h e s o n c e p e r s e c o n d .
To be effective, this deactivation
must be carried out each time the
ignition is switched off.
