AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING
AIR CONDITIONING
This system automatically adjusts the temperature, the fl ow of air and the distribution of air inside the cabin,
depending on your desired comfort level.
Provided
you retain automatic mode (by pressing button "AUTO") and all the air vents are open, you will main-
tain an optimum comfort level, also removing humidity
and misting, whatever the ambient climatic conditions.
The temperature inside the cabin cannot be lower than
the temperature outside if the air conditioning is not
operating.
To be e
ffective, the air conditioning should only be used
with the windows closed. If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight the interior temperature is excessive, air the passenger compartment by opening the windows for a
few moments, then close them again.
To keep the air conditioning compressor well sealed, it
is essential to operate the air conditioning at least once every month.
The air conditioning operates by using power from the engine. This results in a slight increase in fuel con-sumption.
Sensors
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning inside
the cabin makes use of a number of sensors, relieving you of the need to make adjustments, other than the desired cabin temperature.
Take care not to obstruct sensor A.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet, at the bot-
tom of the windscreen, is clean and free of dead leaves,snow, etc.
If washing the vehicle with a high pressure jet, avoid
targeting the air inlet zone.
Air circulation
For your comfort we advise you to maintain a proper
distribution of air within the cabin, both at the front andat the rear.
The air vents to the
face have thumbwheels so that you can
adjust the fl ow of air, and grilles to orient the direction.
Th
ere are air vents on the fl oor underneath the frontseats and on the rear control panel, for enhancedheating of the rear seat positions.
Do not obstruct the air outlets located in the boot area.
Dust/pollen fi lter
There is a fi lter for excluding pollen and dust.
This
fi lter has to be changed according to the vehicle
maintenance schedule. See "Maintenance and WarrantyGuide".

The programmable heating sys-
tem operates independently of theengine.
With the engine off, it is used topreheat the engine cooling systemso as to have an optimum engine
operating temperature on starting.
The programmable heating sys-
tem is started using a long-rangeremote control. It can be startedimmediately or programmed tostart later.
In the event of a malfunction of the programmable heating sys-tem, contact a CITROËN dealer pg gy
or a qualifi ed workshop.
Remote control

mable heating system includes the following buttons and display infor-
mation:1. Menu function scroll buttons.
2. Function symbols: clock,

Replacing the battery
The remote control is powered bya 6 V-28L battery cell, which isincluded.
Information appears on the screen
when this battery should be replaced.
Unclip the casing and replace thebattery.
Th
e remote control must then bere-initialised, as described on thispage.
Do not discard old batteries; take
them to an approved recyclingpoint.
Re-initialisation of the remote control
Always switch off the program-mable heating while refuelling inorder to avoid the risk of fi re or explosion.
To avoid the risk of intoxicationor asphyxiation, the program-mable heating should not beused, even for a short time, inan enclosed space such as agarage, or workshop withoutexhaust gas extraction.
Do not park the vehicle over infl ammable materials (drygrass, dead leaves, papers…),as there is a risk of fi re.
The programmable heating sys-tem is supplied by the vehicleísfuel tank. Before using it, ensurethat there is suffi cient fuel in thetank. If the low fuel warning lampis on we strongly recommendthat you do not programme theheating to come on.
PROGRAMMABLE HEATING
If the battery is disconnected or
replaced, the remote control must be re-initialised.
After switchin
g on, within fi veseconds press button4(OFF) for
1 second.
If the o
peration is successful, the "OK" message appears in the
remote control screen.
If not, the
"FAIL"message
appears. Repeat the procedure.
As a secondar
y advantage, use of your programmable heating sys-
tem allows it to be used to pre-heat
t
he passenger compartment.
