Automatic operation


1. Automatic "comfort"
programme
Press the "AU TO "
button. The
"AU TO "
symbol is displayed.
We recommend that you use
this mode. It provides optimised
automatic control of all of the following
functions: passenger compar tment
temperature, air flow, air distribution and air
intake, in accordance with the comfort value
that you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed. For your comfor t, when the engine is
switched off, the settings are retained
until the engine is switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribution of
cold air when the engine is cold, the air
flow will only reach its optimum level
gradually.


2. Temperature adjustment

The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfor t and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. On entering the vehicle, if the interior
is very cold or hot, there is no need to
change the value displayed in order
to reach the required level of comfor t.
The system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as quickly
as possible.
Press the "



"
and "



"
buttons to
change this value. A setting around
the value 21
enables optimum
comfor t to be obtained. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.

3. Automatic "visibility"
programme

The automatic comfor t programme
may not be sufficient for rapid
demisting or defrosting of the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibility
programme. The button 3
indicator lamp
comes on.
The system automatically controls the air
conditioning and the flow of air and provides
optimum air distribution to the windscreen and
side windows. It deactivates air recirculation 5
.
To exit this programme, press button 3
again or
"AU TO "
, the indicator lamp on the button goes
off and "AU TO "
is displayed.







With Stop & Star t, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available.

TRIP COMPUTER/VEHICLE PARAMETERS


TRIP COMPUTER

Press the MODE button several
times in succession until the trip
computer is displayed.
Range:
displays the distance which can travelled with the
remaining fuel detected in the tank, based on the average fuel
consumption over the last few miles (kilometres).
This displayed value may vary signifi cantly following a change in
the vehicle speed or the relief of the route.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are
displayed. After fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is
recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer.

Each press of the button at the end of the wiper stalk displays
the different trip computer information in succession, according to
the screen.



A FEW DEFINITIONS



- The "vehicle" tab:
The range, the current fuel
consumption and the distance
remaining or the Stop & Start
time counter.

- The "1" (trip 1) tab with :
The average speed, the average
fuel consumption and the
distance travelled calculated
over trip "1".

- The "2" (trip 2) tab with the same
functions for a second trip.
Current fuel consumption:
only calculated and displayed above
20 mph (30 km/h).

Average fuel consumption:
this is the average fuel consumption
since the last trip computer zero reset.

Distance travelled:
calculated since the last trip computer zero
reset.

Distance remaining to the destination:
calculated with reference
to the fi nal destination, entered by the user. If guidance is activated,
the navigation system calculates it as a current value.

Average speed:
this is the average speed calculated since the last
trip computer zero reset (ignition on).







Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates
the time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


The stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which
the stations are stored.
The traffi c announcement
(TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffi c
information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network. Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c
information.
The quality of reception
of the radio station
listened to gradually
deteriorates or the stored
stations do not function
(no sound, 87.5 Mhz is
displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to
or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which
the vehicle is travelling. Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...)
block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off,
the audio equipment
switches off after a few
minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection
mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of
the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
