Deactivate the interior volumetric and anti-lift
monitoring to avoid unwanted triggering of the
alarm in certain cases such as:


- leaving a window partially open,

- washing your vehicle,

- changing a wheel,

- having your vehicle towed,

- transpor tation by sea.

To be effective, this deactivation must be carried
out each time the ignition is switched off.
Where the vehicle locks itself again
automatically (occurs 30 seconds after
unlocking, if a door or the boot is not
opened), the monitoring system is not
reactivated automatically.
To reactivate it, the vehicle must be
unlocked and locked again, using the
remote control or the "Keyless Entry
and Starting" system.

95Comfort
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 digital 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 (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 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.
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 the
air 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, 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.

The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.


If you want to prioritise heating, start
and leave the engine running by
pressing ECO OFF.

5. Air conditioning On / Off




Press this button to switch off
the air conditioning.
Switching 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 to
direct the air flow towards:


- the windscreen and side windows,

- the outer and centre air vents,

- the footwells.

You can combine the three orientations to
obtain the desired air distribution.


7. Air fl ow adjustment




Turn this control to the left to
decrease the air flow or to the
right to increase the air flow.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two
fans, come on progressively 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 misting in the
vehicle.


- The indicator lamp with "A" on
indicates 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 manually.


Switch off the demisting/defrosting
of the rear screen and door mirrors
as soon as appropriate, as lower
current consumption results in
reduced fuel consumption.


It is possible to stop the
demisting/defrosting operation
before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the
button again. The indicator

button goes off.













Automatic visibility programme

Switching on







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


Switching off

The demisting/defrosting switches off automatically
to prevent an excessive consumption of current.



Select this programme
to demist or defrost the
windscreen and side windows
as quickly as possible.
The system automatically manages the air
conditioning, air flow and air intake, and
provides optimum distribution towards the
windscreen and side windows.




To stop the programme, press either
the "visibility"
button again or "AUTO "
, the
indicator lamp in the button goes off and the
indicator lamp in the "AUTO "
button comes on.

The system starts again with the values in
use before it was overridden by the visibility
programme.



Press this button (located on
the air conditioning system
control panel) to demist /defrost
the rear screen and the door
mirrors. The indicator lamp
associated with the button
comes on.










The rear screen demist - defrost
can only operate when the engine is
running.

107Driving

It is recommended that you do not
apply the parking brake in very cold
conditions (ice) and during towing
(breakdown, caravan...).
For this, with the ignition on, deactivate
the automatic functions and release the
parking brake manually:



Manual gearbox:
engage first gear
or reverse.


Electronic gearbox:
select
position A
or R
.


Automatic gearbox:
select
position P
or R
.


The electric parking brake combines
2 operating modes:


- Automatic Application/Release

Application is automatic when the engine
stops, release is automatic on use of the
accelerator (this mode is activated by
default),

- Manual Application/Release

Manual application of the parking brake is
done by pulling control lever A.
Manual release is done by pulling
then
releasing the control lever, while pressing
the brake pedal.
When the driver's door is opened, there is an
audible signal and a message is displayed if
the brake is not applied.

Programming the automatic
mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle,
the automatic application when the engine is
switched off and the automatic release when
you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
You can contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop to have it activated.

In this case, programming is done via
the configuration menu.









Electric parking brake


If deactivated, the parking brake must
be applied and released manually.
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, the automatic
mode is deactivated.
Never leave the vehicle without
checking that the parking brake is on.
This warning lamp comes on
fixed.
