Cause



Action/Observations






Parking brake


fixed. The parking brake is applied or not
properly released. Release the parking brake to switch off the warning
lamp, keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Obser ve the safety recommendations.
For more information on the parking brake, refer to the
"Parking brake" and "Electric parking brake" sections.


Electric parking
brake


fixed. The electric parking brake is applied. Release the electric parking brake to switch off the
warning lamp: with your foot on the brake pedal,
pull the electric brake control.
Obser ve the safety recommendations.
For more information on the electric parking brake,
refer to the "Driving" section.


Deactivation of
the automatic
functions of the
electric parking
brake


fixed. The "automatic application"
(on switching off the engine) and
"automatic release" functions are
deactivated or faulty. Activate the function (according to country) via the
vehicle configuration menu or contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.




Diesel engine
pre-heating


fixed. The ignition switch is at the
2nd position (ignition on). Wait until the warning lamp goes off before starting.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is
determined by the climatic conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in extreme climatic conditions).
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the warning lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.

Vent ilat i on


Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside via
the grille located at the base of the windscreen or
from the inside in air recirculation mode.


Air treatment

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:


- direct arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit (heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).



Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A
on the centre
console.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment 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 not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer. 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 per fect working order.


Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
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 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 maintenance and warranty guide.


If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified 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.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.




Stop & Start

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

83Comfort

2. Driver's side adjustment
4. Automatic visibility
programme
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.



Turn control 2
or 3
to the left until
"LO"
is displayed or to the right
until "HI"
is displayed. See "Front demisting - defrosting".



3. Passenger's side adjustment

The driver and front passenger can
each adjust the temperature to their
requirements.
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.



Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to the right
respectively to decrease or increase this
value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting
difference of more than 3.


Manual operation

If you wish, you can make a different choice
from that offered by the system by changing
a setting. The the "AUTO "
indicator lamps go
off; the other functions will still be controlled
automatically.



Pressing the "AUTO "
button returns the
system to completely automatic operation.






With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available.

Heated seats control

With the engine running, the front seats can be
heated separately.



Use the adjustment dial, placed on the side
of each front seat, to switch on and select
the level of heating required:

0:


Off.

1

:
Low.

2

:
Medium.

3

:
High.











Additional adjustments


Head restraint height and angle




To raise a head restraint, pull it upwards.


To lower the head restraint, press the lug A

and the head restraint at the same time.


To adjust the angle of the head restraint, tilt
its lower part for wards or rear wards.

The head restraint is fitted with a frame
with notches which prevents it from
lowering; this is a safety device in case
of impact.

The adjustment is correct when the
upper edge of the head restraint is
level with the top of the head.




Removing a head restraint




To remove the head restraint, press the
lug A
and pull the head restraint upwards.


To put the head restraint back in place,
engage the head restraint stems in the
openings keeping them in line with the seat
back and press the lug A
at the same time.


Never drive with the head restraints
removed; they must be in place and
adjusted correctly.

Driving advice


Distribution of loads




Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.


Side wind




Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.



Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.



To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.



If the warning lamp and the STOP

warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.

The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.



Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.


Ty r e s




Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting




Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
