63Deactivation
To give precedence to the control
of the temperature in the passenger
compartment, the Stop & Start
system should be deactivated to
allow continuous operation of the air
conditioning.The system retains the same state
(active or inactive) after switching of
and restarting the engine with the key.
a
t any time, press the "S - OFF" switch to
deactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lamp
coming on accompanied by a message in
the instrument panel screen.
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
Operating fault Maintenance
In the event of a fault with the
system, the Stop & Start system
is deactivated and this warning
lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by a
message in the instrument panel
screen
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an operating fault with STOP
mode, it is possible to restart the engine by
depressing the clutch pedal fully and putting
the gear lever into neutral. Before working under the bonnet, you
must switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
automatic operation of ST
a
RT mode.
This system requires a specific battery
with a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of malfunction
of the system.
The Stop & Start system makes use
of advanced technology. Specialist
knowledge is needed for any work on the
system, which can only be assured by
CITR
o Ë n dealers.
Reactivation
Press the "S - OFF" switch again.

DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING
Windscreen
The vents located at the base of the
windscreen and the side vents for the side
windows increase the effectiveness of the
demisting and defrosting. Do not obstruct
these eight vents.
The manual air conditioning includes a
pollen filter and air recirculation.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
a
ir recirculation (which can be operated by
the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, you should
normally drive with the control in the exterior
air intake position. Manual mode
Turn the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
demisting and defrosting of the
windscreen:-
increase the air flow setting,
Return to the exterior air intake
position as soon as possible to
allow renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment. Rear screen and mirrors defrosting
This function only operates when
the engine is running. Pressing
this button activates the rapid
demisting/defrosting of the rear
screen and mirrors. This function switches
off automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of energy. It switches off when
the engine is switched off. Pressing this
button switches the function off.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR
CONDITIONING
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
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.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or
a qualified workshop.VENTS
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are:
-
2 adjustable central vents,
-
2 adjustable and closing side vents,
-
2 vents directed towards the floor of
the
vehicle.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
is high after a prolonged period parked
in the sun, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity.

REAR PARKING SENSORS
The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, fitted in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle which comes within
range: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
This system does not take the place of
vigilance on the part of the driver.Ending operation
Come out of reverse gear and into neutral.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp or the service
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by a message in the
screen, contact a CITRo Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
Engage reverse gear with the gear lever.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more frequent
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed.
You are advised to obtain a towbar
recommended by CITR
o Ë n and have it
installed by a qualified workshop.
