Dual-zone digital air conditioningThe air conditioning system operates when the engine is running.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic comfort programme
We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passenger
compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically adjust the
air flow, according to the desired setting, while
also maintaining the desired comfort value. F
P ress the "AUTO" button repeatedly:
-

a f
irst indicator lamp comes on; the
"light" setting mode is selected,
-

a s
econd indicator lamp comes on; the
"medium" setting mode is selected,
-

a t
hird indicator lamp comes on; the
"intense" mode setting is selected. When the engine is cold, the air
flow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account of the
weather and the desired comfort level
so as to avoid too great a distribution
of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value, there is no
need to change the value displayed in
order to obtain the comfort required.
The system corrects the difference
in temperature automatically and as
quickly as possible.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.

See "Front demisting - defrosting".
3. Passenger's side adjustment
The driver and front passenger can
each adjust the temperature to their
requirements.
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and not to a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
F

T

urn 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, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting
difference of more than 3.
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 functions will still be controlled
automatically.
F

system to completely automatic operation.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available.

Switching the system off
F Turn the air flow control to the left until all of the indicator
lamps go off.
This switch does not operate the air conditioning, only the air fan.
When the "REST" function is activated, you cannot modify the temperature, air flow
and distribution settings: these are controlled automatically according to the ambient
temperature.
This function is not available in the STOP mode of Stop & Start. Avoid prolonged operation in interior
air recirculation mode or driving for
long periods with the system off (risk of
misting and deterioration of air quality).

Programming
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.

In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
can stay on for a longer period. When
the engine is hot, the warning lamp
does not come on.
In certain cases, you may have to apply
more force to the steering (wheels on
full lock, for example). If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition. Wait a
few moments before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does
not start after several attempts, do not
keep trying: you risk damaging the
starter motor or the engine. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
necessary to leave the engine running
for 4 minutes before moving off.
