In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:
F
 
T
o   obtain   an   even   air   distribution,   take   care   not   to   obstruct   the   exterior   air   intake   grilles  
l

ocated   at   the   base   of   the   windscreen,   the   nozzles,   the   vents   and   the   air   outlets,   as   well  
a

s   the   air   extractor   located   in   the   boot.
F
 
D
o   not   cover   the   sunshine   sensor,   located   on   the   dashboard;   this   is   used   for   regulation  
o

f   the   air   conditioning   system.
F
 
O
perate   the   air   conditioning   system   for   at   least   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month  
t

o   keep   it   in   per fect   working   order.
F
 
E
nsure   that   the   passenger   compartment   filter   is   in   good   condition   and   have   the   filter  
e

lements   replaced   regularly.
 W

e   recommend   the   use   of   a   combined   passenger   compartment   filter.   Thanks   to   its  
s

pecial   active   additive,   it   contributes   to   the   purification   of   the   air   breathed   by   the  
o

ccupants   and   the   cleanliness   of   the   passenger   compartment   (reduction   of   allergic  
s

ymptoms,   bad   odours   and   greasy   deposits).
F
 
T
o   ensure   correct   operation   of   the   air   conditioning   system,   you   are   also   advised   to   have  
i

t   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  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the  i nterior  t emperature  i s  v ery  h igh,  f irst  
v

entilate   the   passenger   compartment   for  
a

  few   moments.
Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e

nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the  
p

assenger
 c
ompartment.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c

ontain   chlorine   and   does   not   present  
a

ny   danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
The
  condensation   created   by   the   air  
c

onditioning   results   in   a   discharge  
o

f   water   under   the   vehicle   which   is  
p

er fectly   normal.
When
 
towing
 
the
 
maximum
 
load
 
on
 
a
 
steep
 
gradient
 
in
 
high
 
temperatures,
 
switching
 
off
 
the
 
a

ir
 
conditioning
 
increases
 
the
 
available
 
engine
 
power
 
and
 
so
 
improves
 
the
 
towing
 
ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning s ystems   only   work   when   the   engine  
i

s   running.   To   maintain   a   comfortable  
t

emperature   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment,   you   can   temporarily  
d

eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system  
(see
  the   corresponding   section).

Label on door panel
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking   brake   is   applied:   the   indicator  
l

amps   in   the   instrument   panel   and  
t

he   control   lever   must   be   on   fixed,   not  
f

lashing.
If
  the   parking   brake   is   not   applied,   there  
i

s   an   audible   signal   and   a   message   is  
d

isplayed   on   opening   the   driver's   door.
Never
  leave   a   child   alone   inside   the  
v

ehicle   with   the   ignition   on,   as   they  
c

ould   release   the   parking   brake.When
  towing,   parking   on   a   steep  s
lope, or if your vehicle is heavily
laden,
  turn   the   wheels   towards   the   kerb  
a

nd   engage   a   gear   (with   a   manual   or  
e

lectronic   gearbox)   or   place   the   gear  
s

elector in position P   with   an   automatic  
g

earbox.
For
  towing,   you   vehicle   is   approved   for  
p

arking   on   slopes   of   up   to   12%.
Manual operation
Application of of the parking brake is   confirmed   by   illumination   of  
t

he   brake   indicator   lamp   and   the  
P

 indicator   lamp   in   the   control   lever,  
a

ccompanied   by   the   display   of   the  
m

essage   "Parking   brake   applied".
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine running, to release   the   parking   brake:
F
 
p
ress   the   brake   pedal,
F
 
w
hile   maintaining   pressure   on   the   brake  
p

edal,   briefly   push   the   control   lever.
The
  complete   release   of   the   parking   brake   is  
c

onfirmed   by   the   brake   indicator   lamp   and   the  
P

  indicator   lamp   in   the   control   lever   going   off,  
a

ccompanied   by   the   display   of   the   message  
"

Parking   brake   released".
If you push the control lever without
pressing

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake   or   in   an   exceptional   situation   (e.g.   driver  
t

aken   ill,   under   instruction,   etc)   a   continuous  
p

ull   on   the   control   lever   will   brake   the   vehicle.  
B

raking   takes   place   while   the   control   lever   is  
b

eing   pulled.   It   is   interrupted   if   the   control   lever  
i

s
 r
eleased.
The
  ABS   and   DSC   systems   provide   stability   of  
t

he   vehicle   during   emergency   braking.
If
  the   emergency   braking   malfunctions,   the  
m

essage   "Parking   brake   control   faulty"   will   be  
d

isplayed.
If
  a   failure   of   the   ABS   and   DSC   systems  
o

ccurs,   signalled   by   the   illumination   of   one  
o

r   both   warning   lamps   in   the   instrument  
p

anel,   then   stability   of   the   vehicle   is   no   longer  
g

uaranteed.
In
  this   event,   stability   must   be   assured   by   the  
d

river   by   repeating   alternate   "pull-release"  
a

ctions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. The
  emergency   braking   should   only   be  
u

sed   in   an   exceptional   situation.
