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 digital air conditioning system.  Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in per fect 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 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).  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.  If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation. 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.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting 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 vehicle which is per fectly normal.

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
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 control the system, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.
 Press the "AUTO" button repeatedly: - a first indicator lamp comes on; the "low" setting mode is selected, - a second indicator lamp comes on; the "medium" setting mode is selected, - a third indicator lamp comes on; the "high" mode setting is selected. Use the "medium" and "high" settings in preference to maintain the comfort level at the r e a r.
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. In all seasons, with the windows closed 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.
Automatic operation
The air conditioning can only operate when the hybrid system is active (Ready lamp on). Its effectiveness will be reduced when in electric mode (see the ECO OFF section).

4. Automatic visibility programme
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger compartment, it is possible to exceed the minimum 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 displayed.
See "Front demisting - defrosting".
2-3. Driver's-passenger's side settings
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.
 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, 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 "AUTO" indicator lamps go off; the other functions, except the air conditioning, will still be controlled automatically.  Pressing the "AUTO" button returns the system to completely automatic operation.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has been switched on, the Diesel engine does not stop.
