In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
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
as
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
occupants
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
qualified
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
any
danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning
results in a discharge
o
f water under the vehicle which is
per 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 is
r
unning.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in
the passenger compartment, you can
t
emporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer
to the corresponding section.
