Ventilation
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. System which creates and maintains good
conditions of comfort and visibility in the
vehicle's passenger compartment.
Controls
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected.
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfort required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
select the air vents used in the passenger
compartment.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.
These controls are grouped together on control
panel A on the centre console.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The heating and air conditioning use
energy from the main battery. Their use
increases electrical consumption and
reduces the range of the vehicle.
Remember to switch off the heating
or air conditioning as soon as it is no
longer needed.

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specifications.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and offers
very specific products.
Parking brake
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between
two services.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the
brake disc or drum wear, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
This system must be checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.

city
driving), replace it twice as often if necessar y .
A dirty passenger compartment filter may have
an adverse effect on the per formance of the air
conditioning system and generate undesirable
odours.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
