Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment 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 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 per fect working order.
)
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment 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 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
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.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Star t system (see "Driving").
Page 108 of 396
Do not throw the remote control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your personal
identification documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to find the key code and the transponder code required to
order a new key.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your
pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and out of sight of
your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have
to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch, even when the
ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compar tment by the
emergency services more difficult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the ignition switch
when you leave the vehicle, even for a shor t time.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system; this could
cause malfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a CITROËN dealer,
to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and start the vehicle.

Misfuel prevention (Diesel) *
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of
engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.
Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the
fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Operation
It remains possible to use a fuel can to
fill the tank; this must be done slowly.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can
in direct contact with the flap of the
misfuel prevention device.
This equipment will become available during
the year.
*
According to country of sale.
Tr a v e l l i n g a b r o a d
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may
make refuelling impossible.
Before travelling abroad, we recommend
that you check with the CITROËN dealer
network, whether your vehicle is suitable
for the fuel pumps in the country in
which you want to travel.

Low screenwash/headlamp
wash level
On vehicle fitted with headlamp washers, the
low level of this fluid is indicated by gauge in
the reser voir filler neck under the bonnet.
Checking and topping up this fluid can only be
done when stationary with the engine off.
The driver should check the level of
this fluid regularly, par ticularly during
winter.
Refer to "Checks - § Screenwash/headlamp

A 230 V/50 Hz socket (maximum power: 120 W)
is fitted to the centre console.
To use the socket:
)
lift the front armrest cover for access to its
compartment,
)
check that the warning lamp is on green,
)
connect your multimedia or other electrical
device (telephone charger, laptop computer,

warning lamp flashes.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Connect only one device at a time to
the socket (no extension or multi-way
connector).
Connect only devices with class II
insulation (shown on the device).
As a safety measure, when electrical
consumption is high and when

Stopping the vehicle
Operating fault
With the ignition on, the flashing of AUTO
,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the multifunction screen, indicates
a malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
You must press the brake pedal when
starting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you must
manually apply the parking brake when
parking, unless the parking brake is
programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with
the engine running, you must place the
gear lever in neutral N
.
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compar tment, check that the
gear lever is in neutral N
and that the
parking brake is applied.
Before switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
- move to position N
to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases, you must apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle.
