RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING
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 air conditioning system.


Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.


Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation 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 mainte-
nance and warranty guide.


If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 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.
If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a set-
ting high enough to quickly
change the air in the passenger
compartment.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger to
the ozone layer.

The condensation created by
the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the ve-
hicle which is perfectly normal.



Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is
running. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compart-
ment, you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the
corresponding section).

Component which protects against
sunlight from the front or the side, also
equipped with an illuminated courtesy
mirror.



With the ignition on, raise the con-
cealing fl ap; the mirror is lit auto-
matically.
This sun visor is also equipped with a
ticket holder.








SUN VISOR










ILLUMINATED GLOVE BOX


Its lid has locations for storing a pen, a
pair of glasses, tokens, maps, a cup...



To open the glove box, raise the
handle.
It is lit when the lid is opened.
It houses the front passenger airbag
deactivation switch A
.
If the vehicle is fi tted with air condition-
ing, it provides access to the ventilation
nozzle B
, distributing the same cooled
air as the vents in the passenger com-
partment.
It gives access to the dashboard fusebox
(see "Practical information - § Changing
a fuse").

SAFETY
141
AIRBAGS


System designed to maximise the safe-
ty of the occupants (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the force-limit-
ing seat belts (with the exception of the
centre rear passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front
and side impacts sustained in the im-
pact detection zones:


- in the case of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection
of the occupants of the vehicle (with
the exception of the rear centre pas-
senger); immediately after the im-
pact, the airbags defl ate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or
the exit of the occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone contributes towards
ensuring your protection in these
situations.


The airbags do not operate when
the ignition is switched off.

This equipment will only deploy
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.

A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.
Impact detection zones
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotech-
nic cartridge incorporated in the
system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experi-
ence slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.

















Front airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivat-
ed, in the event of a serious front impact
to all or part of the front impact zone A
, in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the tho-
rax and head of the front occupant of the
vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's
side, and the dashboard, passenger's
side to cushion their forward movement.

SAFETY
144













For the airbags to be fully
effective, observe the
following safety rules:
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not leave anything between
the occupants and the airbags
(a child, pet, object...). This could
hamper the operation of the air-
bags or injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the ve-
hicle has been stolen or broken
into, have the airbag systems
checked.
All work on the airbag system must
be carried out by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Even if all of the precautions
mentioned are observed, a risk
of injury or of minor burns to the
head, chest or arms when an air-
bag is deployed cannot be ruled
out. The bag infl ates almost in-
stantly (within a few milliseconds)
then defl ates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this pur-
pose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on
the centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the
risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently.



Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible with the deployment the lat-
eral airbags. For information on the range of seat covers suitable for your vehicle,
you can contact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical information - § Accessories").
Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs (clothing...). This could cause
injury to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.

Curtain airbags
Do not fi x or attach anything to the roof. This could cause injury to the head if the
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fi tted on your vehicle, do not remove the grab handles installed on the roof, they
play a part in securing the curtain airbags.
