Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended to have
it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
ventilate the passenger compartment
by opening the windows for a few
moments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.

cordance with the vehicle servicing
schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained when
there is a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
F o r o p t i m u m o p e r a t i n g e f fi c i e n c y ,
take care not to obstruct the air out-
lets under the front seats.
Air vents
The face-level air vents have grilles
a n d t h u m b w h e e l s t o a d j u s t t h e a i r fl o w
and direction (up-down, right-left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
the sunlight sensor located on the
dashboard behind the instrument
panel.
Be careful not to obstruct it.

CHECKS
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance
with the Maintenance and Warranty
Guide and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Battery The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the
terminals are clean and
correctly tightened, particu-
larly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the bat-
tery, refer to the "Practical information"
section for details of the precautions
to be taken before disconnecting the
battery and following its reconnection. Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Refer to the Maintenance
and Warranty Guide for
details of the replacement
intervals for these compo-
nents.
Depending on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of
the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
(refer to the "Engines" paragraph).

Complementary to the catalytic

tive contribution to the preservation
of air quality by the retaining of the
unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer
emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally no-
tice water vapour being emitted from
the exhaust when accelerating. This is
of no consequence to the running of
the vehicle or to the environment.
If there is risk of clogging, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction
screen, accompanied by an audible
signal and lighting of the service
warning lamp.
