"Leave them open"
For
optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment,
there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or
vertically (up or down). For your
comfort
while driving, do not close
them
and direct the flow of air towards
the
windows instead.

equipment.
Do
not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in
the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter (activated
carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits odours.
Ensure that this filter is in good
condition
and have all of the filter
elements
replaced regularly.
Refer
to the "Checks" section of
chapter
7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the
windows closed. However, if the
interior
temperature remains high
after
a prolonged period parked in
the
sun, first ventilate the passenger
compartment
for a few minutes.
Use
the
AUT
O mode as much as
possible
as it permits optimised
control
of all of the functions: air flow,
passenger
compartment comfort
temperature,
air distribution, air
intake
mode or air recirculation in the
passenger
compartment.
Operate
the air conditioning system for
5
to
10
minutes,
once
or
twice
a
month,
to
keep it in good working order.
If
the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a CITR
o Ë n
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The
comfort
programme
(AUTO)
may
not
be
sufficient
to
quickly
demist
or
defrost
the
windows
(humidity,
several
passengers,
ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme.
The
visibility
programme
indicator
comes
on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow
and
provides
optimum
distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side
windows.
It
deactivates
the
air
recirculation. 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.
