Recommendations for ventilation and air con ditioning
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 digital 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 ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the Maintenanc e and Warranty Guide.
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. 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.

5. Air conditioning On/Off
Press this button to switch off the air conditioning.
Switching the system off could result in discomfor t (humidity, condensation). Press this button again to return to automatic operation of the air conditioning. The indicator lamp on the "A /C" button comes on.
6. Air distribution adjustment
Press one or more buttons to
direct the air flow towards:
- the windscreen and side windows (demisting or defrosting), - the outer and centre air vents, - the footwells. You can combine the three orientations to obtain the desired air distribution.
7 . A i r fl o w a d j u s t m e n t
Turn this control to the left to decrease the air flow or to the right to increase the air flow.
8. Air intake/Air recirculation
Press this button for recirculation
of the interior air. The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two fans, come on progressively in relation to the value requested.
9. "REST" function: ventilation w i t h t h e e n g i n e o f f
Even with the engine is off, you can operate the ventilation for a few minutes.
Air recirculation enables the passenger compar tment to be isolated from exterior odours and smoke. As soon as possible, press this button again to permit the intake of outside air and prevent the formation of condensation. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
For example, while you are away from the vehicle, the passengers can still enjoy some air circulation without having the engine running. This function is available after switching on the ignition, as well as after stopping the engine. The period that the function is available depends on the state of charge of the battery. You can activate the "REST" function while the air conditioning control screens are on.
