Exceeding the programmed
speed
Pressing the accelerator pedal in order
to exceed the programmed speed
will have no effect unless you press
the pedal fi rmly beyond the point of
resistance .
The limiter is deactivated temporarily
and the programmed speed fl ashes.
To return to the limiter function, reduce
your speed to below the programmed
speed. Switching the function off
- Place the dial in position
0 or
switch off the ignition to switch the
system off.
The last programmed speed remains in
the memory. Operating fault
The programmed speed is cleared
then replaced by three dashes.
Contact a CITROËN dealer to have the
system checked.
Good practice
Flashing of the speed
The speed fl ashes:
- following forcing of the accelerator point of resistance,
- when the limiter cannot prevent an increase in the vehicle speed due
to the profi le of the road or on a
steep descent,
- in the event of sharp acceleration. In any event, the speed limiter cannot
replace the need to observe speed
limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
Always pay attention to the profi le
of the road and sharp acceleration
and stay in complete control of your
vehicle.
To avoid any jamming under the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
on the fl oor are positioned correctly,
- never place one mat on top of another.

Intake of exterior air
Recirculation of interior air Air conditioning A/C
The diode on the button
is off. This is the preferred
operating position. Pressing the button triggers
the operation of the air
conditioning, the diode is lit.
Pressing the button again
switches the function off and
the diode is switched off.
The air conditioning does not operate if
the air fl ow is set to 0.
The air conditioning can only operate
with the engine running.
The diode on the button is
lit. Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment.
Used with the setting of the force of
blown air (from 1 to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required
ambient air comfort level more quickly
with both hot or cold settings.
This position should only be temporary.
When your ambient air comfort level
has been reached, return to the
intake of exterior air position to permit
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment and avoid misting. This
operating mode is preferable.

Ventilation
Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable. There is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING WITH SEPARATE SETTINGS
Automatic operation
AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning
system operating mode. Driver or passenger side comfort
value
The value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the comfort
value selected, the system
controls the distribution, the
fl ow and the intake of air to guarantee
comfort and a suffi cient circulation of
air in the passenger compartment. No
further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
an excessive diffusion of cold air, the
air diffuser will reach its optimum level
gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle is started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually (AUTO is cleared).

controlled automatically. Pressing the

AUTO button restores fully automatic
operation.
Air distribution
Pressing this button several
times in succession directs
the air fl ow towards:
- the windscreen,
- the windscreen and footwells,
- the footwells,
- the side vents, central vents and footwells,
- the side vents and central vents. Air fl ow
Press the
small fan button to
reduce the fl ow or the large

Your comfort setting is no longer
maintained and is switched off. Intake of exterior air/
Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to
recirculate the interior air.
The recirculation symbol is
displayed.
For your comfort, do not
deactivate the system for
long periods. Pressing the

large fan button or the AUTO
button reactivates the system
with the values set before it was
deactivated. Recirculation prevents exterior
odours and smoke from entering
the passenger compartment. Avoid
prolonged operation in interior
air recirculation mode (risk of
condensation, odour and humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the
intake of exterior air.
Pressing this button again switches off
the air conditioning.
The ventilation outlet, located
in the glove box, diffuses
cool air (if the air conditioning
is on) regardless of the reference
temperature requested in the
passenger compartment and
regardless of the exterior temperature.

Ventilation
GOOD PRACTICE
Vents

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the fl ow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete
the equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This fi lter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good
condition and have all of the fi lter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of chapter 6.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior
temperature remains high after a
prolonged period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a fl ow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be suffi cient to quickly demist or
de-ice the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator light comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
fl ow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.
