AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
Remarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent
unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase onlygradually to its optimum level.
If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolongedstop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comfortable, it serves no purpose to modify
the temperature that is displayed as an attempt
to go immediately to the desired comfort level.
The system automatically uses all of its power tocompensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.
Remarks:Water arising from the condensation in the air conditioning drains out through a hole provided for this purpose; a pool of water may thus form
underneath the vehicle when stationary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the
air conditioning is useful in removing humidity and
misting.
You are advised to have the air conditioning systemchecked on a regular basis. See "Maintenance andWarranty Guide".
If you are towing a heavy trailer and outside
temperatures are high, the air conditioning may be
temporarily paused if the engine cooling requires this.

TOWBAR
(Boat, caravan, etc.)
It is recommended that towbar installation and removal be done
by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-fi ed workshop.
If you are climbing a steep gradient
and the engine gets excessively
hot, certain functions become una-
vailable (e.g. sequential control of
the automatic gearbox, the air con-
ditioning).
If you are towing, it is necesaary
to deactivate the parking assist-
ance by pressing the control on the
dashboard. See "Parking assist-ance".
It is recommended that
you remove
the towing ball, so that it does not
interfere with the functioning of the
proximity sensors, when you are
not using a trailer.
MAINTENANCE
if cleaning the vehicle with a highpressure system
Your Piloted Defl ector has to be closed.
It is not advisable to clean the
underside of the vehicle, for fear of damaging the electricparking brake.As water may penetrate into
the vehicle interior via the door
apertures, do not target these areas.
Do not direct at the headlamps,
lamps and their edges for too
long or you may damage their coating and seals.
