lace the air distribution adjustment dial 3
in the "AUTO" position. When the engine is cold, to avoid an
excessive distribution of cold air, the
ventilation will reach its optimum level
gradually.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder
(or warmer) than the temperature
setting. There is no need to change the
temperature setting in order to reach
the comfort required rapidly.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will operate to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.
In automatic mode:
F

w
hen the temperature is set to maximum
(Rapid heating), the intake of exterior air is
activated and the air conditioning stops.
F
w
hen the temperature is set to minimum
(Rapid cooling), air recirculation is
activated and the air conditioning operates.
The system controls the air distribution, the
flow, the temperature and the air intake to
ensure the level of comfort selected and
adequate air circulation in the passenger
compartment. No further action on your part is
required.

Mat
When removing the mat on the driver's side,
move back the seat as far as possible and
remove the fixings.
When refitting, position the mat correctly on the
pins and clip the fixings. Check that the mat is
secured firmly.
To prevent any risk of jamming under the
pedals:
-
o
nly use mats suited to the fixings already
present in the vehicle; it is imperative that
these fixings are used.
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.

top as soon as it is safe to do so. The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. The alert is maintained until the
reference pressure is reinitialised after
the inflation, repair or replacement of
the tyres concerned. In the event of
the repair or replacement of tyres, the
sensor identifiers must be registered in
the system by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The spare wheel does not have
a sensor, so there is no need to
reinitialise the the system for running
with the spare wheel fitted.
F
I f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Reinitialising the reference
pressure
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures in the four tyres are
suitable for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and as specified on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
cannot warn of an incorrect pressure at
the time of reinitialisation.
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment of tyre pressures and after
changing one or more wheels.

Airbags
System designed to contribute towards
improving the safety of the occupants (with
the exception of the rear centre passenger)
in the event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the force-limiting
seat belts (with the exception of the centre rear
passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic detectors
record and analyse the front and side impacts
sustained in the impact detection zones:
-
i
n the case of a serious impact, the airbags
are deployed instantly and contribute
towards better protection of the occupants
of the vehicle (with the exception of the
rear centre passenger); immediately after
the impact, the airbags deflate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or the exit
of the occupants,
-

i
n the case of a minor or rear impact or in
certain roll-over conditions, the airbags
may not be deployed; the seat belt
alone contributes towards ensuring your
protection in these situations.
The airbags do not operate when the
ignition is switched off.
This equipment will only deploy once.
If a second impact occurs (during the
same or a subsequent accident), the
airbag will not be deployed again. Deployment of one or more of the
airbags is accompanied by a slight
emission of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive
individuals may experience slight
irritation.
The noise of detonation related to the
deployment of one or more airbags may
result in a slight loss of hearing for a
short time.

Front airbags
Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivated,
in the event of a serious front impact applied
to all or part of the front impact zone A , in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the front to
the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag inflates between the front
occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to
cushion their for ward movement. System which contributes toward improving
protection for the head and chest of the driver
and front passenger in the event of a front
impact.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
