RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILA TION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for  these  systems  to  be  fully  ef fective,  follow  the  operation  and  maintenance
  guidelines   below:
F
 
T
o  
obtain
 
an
 
even
 
air
 
distribution,
 
take
 
care
 
not
 
to
 
obstruct
 
the
 
exterior
 
air

 
intake
 
grille
s  
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.
F

 
Do
 
not
 
cover
 
the
 
sunshine
 
sensor
,  
located
 
on
 
the
 
dashboard;
 
this
 
is
 
used

  for   regulation   of   the   air   conditioning   system.
F
 
Operate
 
the
 
air
 
conditioning
 
system
 
for
 
at
 
least
 
5
 
to
 
10
 
minutes,
 
once
 
or
 
twice

  a   month   to   keep   it   in   perfect   working   order.
F
 
Ensure
 
that
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter
 
is
 
in
 
good
 
condition
 
and
 
have

  the   filter   elements   replaced   regularly.
  W

e  
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).
F

 
T
o  
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.
F
 
If
 
the
 
system
 
does
 
not
 
produce
 
cold
 
air
,  
switch
 
it
 
of
f  
and
 
contact
 
a
 
CITROËN

  dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
When
 
towing
 
the
 
maximum
 
load
 
on
 
a
 
steep
 
gradient
 
in
 
high
 
temperatures,
 
switching

 
of
f  
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,  first  ventilate  the  pas -
senger  compartment  for  a  few  moments.
Put
 
the
 
air
 
flow
 
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.

 
T
o  
maintain
 
a
 
comfortable
 
temperature
 
in
 
the
 
passenger
 
compart
-
ment,
 
you
 
can
 
temporarily
 
deactivate
 
the
 
Stop
 
&
 
Start
 
system
 
(see

Lost keys
Go to a  CITROËN  dealer  with  the  vehicle's  registration  document,  your  personal
  identification   documents   and   if   possible   the   key   code   label.
The
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
will
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
look
 
up
 
the
 
key
 
code
 
and
 
the
 
transpon
-
der
  code   required   to   order   a   new   key. Do
 
not
 
throw
 
the
 
remote
 
con
-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals  which  are  harmful  to  the  environment.
T
ake  
them
 
to
 
an
 
approved
 
col
-
lection
  point.
Remote control
The high frequency  remote  control  is  a  sensitive  system;  do  not  operate  it  while
 it  is  in  your  pocket  as  there  is  a  possibility  that  it  may  unlock  the  ve -
hicle,
  without   you   being   aware   of   it.
Do
 
not
 
repeatedly
 
press
 
the
 
buttons
 
of
 
your
 
remote
 
control
 
out
 
of
 
range
 
and
 
out

 
of
 
sight
 
of
 
your
 
vehicle.
 
Y
ou  
run
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
stopping
 
it
 
from
 
working
 
and
 
the

  remote   control   would   have   to   be   reinitialised.
No
 
remote
 
control
 
can
 
operate
 
when
 
the
 
key
 
is
 
in
 
the
 
ignition
 
switch,
 
even
 
when

  the   ignition   is   switched   off,   except   for   reinitialisation.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the  doors  locked  may  make  access  to  the  passenger  compart -
ment   by   the   emergency   services   more   difficult   in   an   emergency.
As
 
a
 
safety
 
precaution,
 
never
 
leave
 
children
 
alone
 
in
 
the
 
vehicle,
 
except
 
for
 
a

  very   short   period.
In
 
all
 
cases,
 
it
 
is
 
essential
 
to
 
remove
 
the
 
key
 
from
 
the
 
ignition
 
switch
 
when
 
leaving

  the   vehicle.
Anti-theft protection
Do not make  any  modifications  to  the  electronic  engine  immobiliser  system;  this
  could   cause   malfunctions.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the pairing  of  all  of  the  keys  in  your  possession  checked  by  a  CITROËN
 dealer ,  to  ensure  that  only  your  keys  can  be  used  to  open  and  
start

A FEW DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the driving  regulations  at  all  times
 and  remain  vigilant  whatever  the  
traffic

  conditions.
Pay
 
close
 
attention
 
to
 
the
 
traffic
 
and
 
keep

 
your
 
hands
 
on
 
the
 
wheel
 
so
 
that
 
you

 
are
 
ready
 
to
 
react
 
at
 
any
 
time
 
to
 
any

  eventuality.
On
 
a
 
long
 
journey
,  
a
 
break
 
every
 
two hours

  is   strongly   recommended.
In
 
difficult
 
weather
,  
drive
 
smoothly
,  
an
-
ticipate
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
brake
 
and
 
increase
 
the

  distance   from   other   vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise  against  driving  on  flooded
 roads,  as  this  could  cause  seri -
ous
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
engine
 
or
 
gearbox,
 
as

 
well
 
as
 
to
 
the
 
electrical
 
systems
 
of
 
your

  vehicle.
Important!
Never drive  with  the  parking  brake
 applied  -  Risk  of  overheat -
ing
 
and
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
braking
 
system!
Do

 
not
 
park
 
or
 
run
 
the
 
engine when

stationary in areas where
inflammable substances  and  ma -terials (dry grass,  dead  leaves...) might
 come  into  contact  with  the hot

 
exhaust
 
system 
-  
Risk
 
of
 
fire!
n

ever leave a vehicle unsuper-
vised
 
with
 
the
 
engine
 
running.
 
If
 
you have to leave your vehicle
with

 
the
 
engine
 
running,
 
apply
 
the

 
parking
 
brake
 
and
 
put
 
the
 
gearbox

 
into
 
neutral
 
or
 
posi
-
tion

N
or P,  
depending
 
on
 
the
 
type

  of   gearbox.
If
 
you

 
are

 
obliged

 
to

 
drive

 
through

 
water:
-

 
check

 
that

 
the

 
depth

 
of

 
water

 
does

 
not

 
exceed

 
15

 
cm,

 
taking

 
account

 
of

 
waves

 
that

 
might

 
be

 
generated

 
by

 
other users,
-

 
deactivate

 
the
 
Stop
 
&
 
Start
 
system,
-
 
drive

 
as

 
slowly

 
as

 
possible

 
without

 
stallin

g.
 
In

 
all

 
cases,

 
do

 
not

 
exceed

 
6

 
mph
 
(10
 
km/h),
-
 
do

 
not

 
stop

 
and

 
do

 
not

 
switch

 
of

f
 
the

 
engine.
On

 
leaving

 
the

 
flooded

 
road,

 
as

 
soon

 
as

 
circumstances

 
allow

,
 
make

 
several

 
light

 
brake

 
applications

 
to

 
dry

 
the

 
brake

 
discs

 
and
 
pads.
If
 
in
