Automatic day/night model
In order to guarantee optimum visibility
during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens
automatically when reverse gear is engaged. By means of a sensor, which measures the
light from the rear of the vehicle, this system
automatically and progressively changes
between the day and night uses.
It has an anti-dazzle system which darkens the
mirror glass: this reduces any driver discomfort
caused by the light beam of following vehicles,

We recommend use of the automatic regulation
of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised control
of all of the following functions: air flow,
temperature in the passenger compartment
and air distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sunshine).
This eliminates any need for you to change
your settings other than the temperature value
displayed.
F Take care not to cover the sunshine sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave
all of the vents open, optimum comfort will be
maintained and humidity and condensation will
be removed regardless of the exterior climatic
conditions.
The temperature in the passenger compartment
can only be lower than the ambient temperature
if the air conditioning is on.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning must
be used with the windows closed. If the vehicle
has been parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment with the
windows open for a few minutes, then close the
windows.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning recommendations
To keep the air conditioning system in
good working order it is essential that it is
operated at least once a month.
The air conditioning uses engine power
during its operation. As a result, the fuel
consumption of the vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly arduous use
(e.g. towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), switching off
the air conditioning saves engine power and
improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet,
at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and
free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a high
pressure nozzle, avoid spraying at the air
inlet. Maximum comfort is obtained by means of
a good distribution of air in the passenger
compartment, both in the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of air, take
care not to block the exterior air intake grille
located at the base of the windscreen, the
vents, the air outlets under the front seats and
the air extractor located behind the flaps in
the boot.
The front and rear vents are fitted with
thumbwheels to adjust the air flow and
direction. We recommend that you leave all of
the vents open.
Dust filter / Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a filter for excluding odours and
dust.
This filter must be changed in line with the
vehicle's servicing schedule. (Refer to the
maintenance and warranty guide).

Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected or the
remote control's battery is replaced, the remote
control must be reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press button 4
(OFF) for 1 second within the next 5 seconds.
If the operation has taken place correctly the
message "OK" is displayed on the remote
control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message " F A I L"
appears. Repeat the operation. Always switch off the programmable
heating while filling with fuel to avoid
any risk of fire or explosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which
is not equipped with an exhaust gas
extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead
leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.
The programmable heating system
is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that the quantity
of fuel remaining is sufficient. If the
fuel tank is at the reserve, we strongly
advise that you do not programme the
heating.
The interior volumetric protection alarm
movement sensor may be disturbed by
the flow of air from the programmable
heating when it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected triggering
of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is advisable
to deactivate the interior volumetric
protection.
An adaptation of your programmable
heating allows you to pre-heat your
vehicle's passenger compartment.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
