Mirrors and windows
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
Electric controls
On the driver's side, the electric window
has a safety anti-pinch function and is
associated with one-touch controls for
lowering and raising.
From the driver's seat, the controls placed
on the door operate the vehicle's front
windows.
On the passenger's side, the control
operates the passenger's front window.
One-touch control
An extended press on the control for the
driver's window raises or lowers the window
completely.
Press the control again to stop the window.
Press the control briefly to start the
movement of the window.
Manual controls
Turn the window winder located on the door
trim panel.
Good practice
Always remove the key from the ignition
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short

If the electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, they must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passenger
uses the electric window correctly.
Be aware of children when operating the
windows.
REAR WINDOWS (COMBI)

EASE OF USE and COMFORT
Ventilation
DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING
Windscreen
The vents located at the base of the
windscreen and the side vents for the side
windows increase the effectiveness of the
demisting and defrosting. Do not obstruct
these eight vents.
The manual air conditioning includes a
pollen filter and air recirculation.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
Air recirculation (which can be operated by
the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, you should
normally drive with the control in the exterior
air intake position.
Manual mode
Turn the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
demisting and defrosting of the
windscreen:
- increase the air flow setting,
Return to the exterior air intake
position as soon as possible to
allow renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment.
Rear screen and mirrors defrosting
This function only operates when
the engine is running. Pressing
this button activates the rapid
demisting/defrosting of the rear
screen and mirrors. This function switches
off automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of energy. It switches off when
the engine is switched off. Pressing this
button switches the function off.
- move the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.

Ventilation
CORRECT USE OF THE AIR
CONDITIONING
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
VENTS
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are:
- 2 adjustable central vents,
- 2 adjustable and closing side vents,
- 2 vents directed towards the floor of the
vehicle.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
is high after a prolonged period parked
in the sun, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity.

SAFETY
Child safety
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
Children at the front
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened
correctly on the child seat and that it secures
the child seat firmly on the seat of your
vehicle. If your passenger seat is adjustable,
move it forwards if necessary.
At rear seating positions, always leave
sufficient space between the front seat and:
- a "rearward facing" child seat,
- the child's feet for a child seat fitted
"forward facing".
The legislation on carrying children on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger airbag when a
"rearward-facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
to inflate.
The chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a booster
seat which has a back, fitted with a seat belt
guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- a child or children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors
and rear windows, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows by
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
To do this, move the front seat forwards
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the
upright position.
For optimum installation of the "forward-
facing" child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, in contact if
possible.
You mst remove the head restraint before
installing a child seat with backrest to a
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when
the child seat is removed.

QUICK HELP
Battery
Batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance with the
law and must not, in any circumstances be
discarded with household waste.
Take used batteries to an authorised waste
disposal site.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month. To do
this on models with Stop & Start:
- press the release button E
to disconnect
connector F
,
- disconnect connector F
of check sensor G
.
Never remove the check sensor G
from the
negative battery terminal H
, except when
replacing the battery.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature wear of the battery.
After refitting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours).
Before charging
The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from naked
flames or any possible sources of sparks to
eliminate the risks of explosion and fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
Before disconnecting
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After reconnecting
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If difficulties are
experienced after this, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:
- the display screen settings (date, time,
language, distance and temperature
units),
- the radio stations,
- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed. Contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
