COMFORT
VENTILATION
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered 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 com-
partment (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 comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow 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 cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:
- the level of comfort required,

- manual or digital air conditioning controls.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
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 winds creen, the nozzles, the
vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extra ctor located in the boot.

 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is
used for regulation of the air conditioning system.

 Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 mi nutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is i n good condition and have
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to th e "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the p urifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger
compartment (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 Mainte-
nance 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 e ngine power and
so improves the towing ability. If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a set-
ting high enough to quickly
change the air in the passenger
compartment.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger to
the ozone layer.
The condensation created by
the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the
vehicle which is perfectly normal.

4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air avoids the for-
mation of mist on the windscreen and
side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates
the passenger compartment 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. Windscreen and side windows.
