Ventilation / Heating
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at the
base of the windscreen or from the inside in air
recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
-

p
assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-

p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A on the centre
console.

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.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F

T

o 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.
F

D

o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O

perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E

nsure 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 maintenance and warranty guide.
F

I

f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified 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. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.F

P
ress the button to recirculate
the interior air. The indicator
lamp comes on to confirm this.
This function allows hot or cold air to be
delivered selectively and more quickly.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to
operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.
Switching on
F Press the "A /C "
button, the button's
indicator lamp comes on.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air flow adjustment control 2
is in position " 0".
To obtain cooled air more quickly, you
can use recirculation of interior air for
a few moments. Then return to fresh
air intake.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the the air quality
and the formation of mist.
F

P

ress the button again to permit the intake
of exterior air. The indicator lamp goes off
to confirm this. It enables you to:
-

l

ower the temperature, in summer,
-

i

ncrease the effectiveness of the demisting
in winter, above 3 °C.
Switching off
F Press the "A /C " button again, the button's
indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).

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.
