VENTILATION

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger
compartment 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).

Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A
on the centre
console.

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 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 dashboard; 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 perfect working order.

)
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and have
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi 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
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 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.
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 ve-
hicle which is perfectly normal.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING











The air conditioning system operates
with the engine running.


)
Turn the dial to select a
position between blue
(cold) and red (hot) so as
to adjust the temperature
to your requirements.

1. Temperature adjustment This dial is used to increase or
decrease the speed of the air
booster fan.
2. Air fl ow adjustment
3. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side windows.

)
If you place the air fl ow con-
trol in position 0
, the system
is deactivated. However, a
slight fl ow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle,
can still be felt.
Windscreen, side windows and
footwells.
Footwells.
Central and side vents.
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial in
an intermediate position.

)
Turn the dial from position 1
to po-
sition 5
to obtain a comfortable air
fl ow. This dial is used to arrange the distri-
bution of air in the passenger compart-
ment by combining several air outlets.

4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the
formation of mist on the windscreen
and side windows.

5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting in winter, above 3 °C.


Switching on


)
Press the "A/C"
button, the button's
indicator lamp comes on.

Switching off


)
Press the "A/C"
button again, the
button's indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).
The recirculation of interior air isolates
the passenger compartment from exterior
odours and smoke.


)
Press the button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
indicator lamp comes on
to confi rm this.

)
Press the button again to permit the
intake of exterior air. The indicator
lamp goes off to confi rm this.

This function allows hot or cold
air to be delivered selectively
and more quickly.
Return to exterior air intake as soon
as possible to prevent deterioration of
the the air quality and the formation of
mist. The air conditioning does not
operate when the air fl ow adjust-
ment control 2
is in position " 0 ".

DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

Automatic o
peration

We recommend the use of one
of the three AUTO modes avail-
able: they provide optimised
regulation of the temperature
in the passenger compartment
according to the comfort value that you
have chosen.
These three modes automatically adjust
the air fl ow, according to the desired set-
ting, while also maintaining the desired
comfort value.

)
Press the "AUTO"
button repeat-
edly:


- a fi rst indicator lamp comes on; the
"light" setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes
on; the "medium" setting mode is
selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"intense" mode setting is selected.
The air conditioning system operates when the engine is running. When the engine is cold, the air
fl ow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account
of the weather and the desired
comfort level so as to avoid too
great a distribution of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort val-
ue, there is no need to change
the value displayed in order to
obtain the comfort required. The
system corrects the difference in
temperature automatically and
as quickly as possible.

1. Automatic comfort programme
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
