1. Automatic comfort programme

We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passen
ger compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically control the system, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.
) Press the "AUTO"
button repeatedly:


- a first indicator lamp comes on; the "low"setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes on; the
"medium" setting mode is selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"hi
gh" mode setting is selected.

Use the "medium" and "high" settings in
preference to maintain the comfort level at
t
he rear.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum levelprogressively, taking account of the
weather and the desired comfort levelso as to avoid too great a distributionof cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is noneed to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. Inall seasons, with the windows closed the system corrects the differencein temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
This s
ystem is designed to operate effectivelyin all seasons, with the windows closed.

Child safety
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the child seat harnesses keeping the slack relative to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightenedcorrectly on the child seat and that it secures the child seat firmly on the seat of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable, move it for wards if necessary.
For optimum installation of the "forwards-facing" child seat, ensure that the back of the child seat is in contact with the back of the vehicle's seat and that the head restraint does not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed, ensure that it is stored or attached securely to prevent it from being thrown around the vehicle in the event of sharp braking.






Advice on child seats

As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and unsupervised in a vehicle, - a child or an animal in a vehicle whichis exposed to the sun, with the windows closed, - the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle. To prevent accidental opening of the doors and rear windows, use the "Child lock". Take care not to open the rear windows bymore than one third.To protect young children from the rays of the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.

Children under the age of 10 must not travel
in the "forwards-facing" position on the front passenger seat, unless the rear seats are already occupied by other children, cannot be used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a "rearwards-facing" child seat is installed on the front seat. Other wise, the child would risk beingseriously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.


Installing a booster seat

The chest par t of the seat belt must be positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt passes correctly over the child's thighs. CITROËN recommends the use of a booster seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
