Fan cooling of the high voltage battery


This system does not work continuously,
but adapts the force of the fan cooling to the
requirements of the battery.
Its operation can be heard at the rear, even if
the vehicle is stopped after a run.
If the air intake is blocked, the batter
y mayoverheat, damaging the battery and causing a
loss of performance of the hybrid system.
For the best use of the high voltage battery, please follow these recommendations: - do not obstruct the air intake with loose ar ticles, other wise, the battery may overheat, causing a loss of performance of the hybrid system- do not spill fluids, as this may cause damage to the battery.
The high voltage battery has an air cooling system, comprising an air intake
(located on the side of the left hand rear seat) and a fan (located behind the lefthand boot trim panel).

Use the straps on the interior boot trim to stow
the folded triangle or its storage box.

Placing the triangle in the road
)
Place the triangle at a distance behind
the vehicle, as shown in the table below,
accordin
g to the type of road and the level
of ambient light.
These are the internationally recognisedvalues. Use the triangle in line with local driving regulations.

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 wellas 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 monthto keep it in perfect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment 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 theoccupants 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 haveit checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet. )
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.












Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment. The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.

5. Air conditioning On / Off
)Press this button to switch off
the air conditioning.
Switchin
g the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).)Press this button again to return to automatic operation of the air conditioning.The indicator lamp in the "A/C"
button comes on.
To obtain cool air more quickly, you can use
recirculation of the interior air for a few moments.
Then revert to the intake of exterior air.


6. Air distribution adjustment
)Press one or more buttons todirect the air flow towards:


- t
he windscreen and side windows,

- the outer and centre air vents,

- th
e footwells.
You can combine the three orientations to obtain the desired air distribution.


7. Air fl ow adjustment
)Turn this control to the left todecrease the air flow or to theright to increase the air flow.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two
fans, come on pro
gressively in relation to the
value requested.


8. Air intake / Air recirculation
Air recirculation enables the passenger compartment to be isolated from exterior odours
and smoke when external pollution is detected(if your vehicle is fitted with a pollution sensor).
It is activated automatically on operation of the screenwash.
It is inactive when the ambient temperature is
below 5 °C to avoid the risk of mistin
g in the
vehicle.


- The indicator lamp with "A" on
in
dicates that recirculation is controlled automatically.

- The indicator lamp without "A"on indicates that recirculation is forced manually.

- Both indicator lamps off
indicates that recirculation is controlled automatically without
taking account of the detection
of pollution.

Without pollution sensor
If
your vehicle is not fitted with a
pollution sensor, press this button
to force recirculation manuall
y.
In ZEV mode, the hybrid system maytemporarily inhibit operation of the air conditioning.

) Switch off the demisting/defrosting of the rear screen and door mirrorsas soon as appropriate, as lower current consumption results inreduced fuel consumption.
