RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING
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 perfect working order.


Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation 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 mainte-
nance and warranty guide.


If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed 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.
If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air fl ow 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. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compart-
ment, you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the
corresponding section).

COMFORT

For maximum cooling or heating
of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to exceed the mini-
mum 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 dis-
played.

See "Front demisting - defrosting".



4. Automatic visibility programme

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 func-
tions will still be controlled automati-
cally.



Pressing the "AUTO"
button returns
the system to completely automatic
operation.
2. Driver's side adjustment
The driver and front pas-
senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require-
ments.



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, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right
setting difference of more than 3.
3. Passenger's side adjustment
The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.






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