In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation andmaintenance below:)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the
sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for afew minutes. Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment.)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilleslocated at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the passenger compar tment on both sides of the rear shelf. )
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind the instrument panel); this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.)
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep itin good 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 second special active filter, 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 haveit checked regularly.)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing capacity.
