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).

5. Air conditioning On / Off
F Press this button to switch off the air conditioning.
Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).
F

P

ress this button again to return to
automatic operation of the air conditioning.

comes on.
6. Air distribution adjustment
F Press one or more buttons to direct the air flow towards:
-

t
he windscreen and side
windows (demisting or
def r o st ing),
-

t
he outer and centre air
vents,
-

t
he footwells.
You can combine the three orientations to
obtain the desired air distribution.
7. Air flow adjustment
F Turn this control to the left to decrease the air flow or to the
right to increase the air flow.
8. Air intake / Air recirculation
F Press this button for recirculation of the interior air. The indicator
lamp in the button comes on.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two
fans, come on progressively in relation to the
value requested.
9. "REST" function: ventilation
with the engine off
Even with the engine is off, you
can operate the ventilation for a
few
m

inutes.
Air recirculation enables the passenger
compartment to be isolated from exterior
odours and smoke.
F

A

s soon as possible, press this button
again to permit the intake of outside air and
prevent the formation of condensation. The
indicator lamp in the button goes off. For example, while you are away from the
vehicle, the passengers can still enjoy some air
circulation without having the engine running.
This function is available after switching on the
ignition, as well as after stopping the engine.
The period that the function is available
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
You can activate the "REST" function while the
air conditioning control screens are on.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air
recirculation mode (risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality).
