Once this menu has been selected, you can gain access to the following settings: - brightness-video setting, - date and time setting, - selection of units.
Once the fuel consumption units have been changed to mpg, the information in the screen relating to speed and distance also changes to mph and miles respectively.
For safety reasons, configuration by the driver of the multifunction screen must only be done when stationary.

Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either from the outside via the grille located at the base of the windscreen or from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the driver: - direct arrival in the passenger compar tment (air intake), - passage through a heating circuit (heating), - passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning). The temperature control enables you to obtain the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you to diffuse the air in the passenger compar tment combining several air vents. The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A on the centre console. Depending on the model, the functions offered are: - the level of comfor t required, - air flow, - air distribution, - demisting-defrosting, - manual or digital air conditioning controls.
Air distribution
1. Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents. 2. Front side window demisting-defrosting vents. 3. Side adjustable air vents. 4. Central adjustable air vents. 5. Air outlets to the front footwells. 6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

Recommendations for ventilation and air co nditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate the passenger compar tment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compar tment. The air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot. Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the d ashboard; this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system. Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in per fect working order. Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in g ood condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" secti on). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compa r tment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compar t ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits). To guarantee correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the Maint enance and Warranty Guide.
If the system does not produce cold air, deactivate it and contact a CITROËN dealer. When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.

1. Temperature adjustment
Turn the dial from blue (cold) to red (hot) to adjust the temperature to your requirements.
2 . A i r fl o w a d j u s t m e n t
Turn the dial from position 1to position 5 to obtain a comfor table air flow.
If you place the air flow control in position 0 (deactivation of the
system), the temperature is no longer maintained at a comfor table level. However, a slight flow of air, due to the movement of the vehicle,
can still be felt.

The air distribution can be adapted by placing the dial in an intermediate position.
4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air avoids the formation of mist on the windscreen and side windows. The recirculation of interior air insulates the passenger compar tment from exterior odours and smoke. Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible to prevent deterioration of the air quality and the formation of mist.
Manual control panel
Press the button to recirculate the interior air. The indicator lamp comes on to confirm this.
Press the button again to permit the intake of exterior air. The indicator lamp switches off to confirm this.

The rear screen demisting/defrosting can only operate when the engine is running. Press this button to demist /defrost the rear screen and (depending on version) the door mirrors. The indicator lamp associated with the button comes on.
S w i t c h i n g o f f
The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically to prevent an excessive consumption of current. It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting operation before it is switched off automatically by pressing the button again. The indicator lamp associated with the button switches off. Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door mirrors as soon as appropriate as lower current consumption results in
reduced fuel consumption.
If the engine is switched off before the demisting/defrosting is switched off automatically, demisting/defrosting will resume next time the engine is switched on.
