COMFORT
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 g uidelines on opera-
tion and maintenance below:
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
p a r k e d i n t h e s u n f o r a c o n s i d e r a b l e t i m e , 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

P l a c e t h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l a t a s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l t o p r o v i d e a n a d e q u a t e r e -
newal of air in the passenger compartment.
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the n ozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the passenger
compartment on both sides of the rear shelf.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind the
instrument panel); this is used for regulation of t he air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in good working order.

h a v e t h e fi l t e r e l e m e n t s r e p l a c e d r e g u l a r l y ( r e f e r t o t h e " C h e c k s " s e c t i o n ) .
W e r e c o m m e n d t h e u s e o f a c o m b i n e d p a s s e n g e r c o m p a r t m e n t fi l t e r . T h a n k s

breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of th e passenger compart-
ment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours an d greasy deposits).
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing
capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

ACCESS
Deactivating the rear window and
door controls Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
In the event of contact during op-
eration of the windows, you must
reverse the movement of the win-
dow. To do this, press the switch
concerned.
When the driver operates the pas-
senger electric window switches,
they must ensure that no one is
preventing correct closing of the
windows.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the electric win-
dows correctly.
Be aware of children when operating
the windows.
Reinitialisation
In the event of a malfunction you must
reinitialise the operation of the electric
windows:
release the switch and pull it again
until the window closes completely,
hold the switch for approximately
one second after closing,
press the switch to lower the win-
dow automatically.
The safety anti-pinch function is not
active during these operations.
For the safety of your children, press
switch 5 to prevent operation of the
rear windows irrespective of their
position.
With the indicator lamp on, the rear
controls are deactivated.
With the indicator lamp off, the rear
controls are activated.
When the function is activated,
this warning lamp lights up
on the instrument panel for a
few seconds.
This control also deactivates the
interior rear door controls (see
"Child safety - § Electric child lock").
