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 ,

Dual-zone manual air conditioning with temperature regulation
The air conditioning system only works with the engine r unning.
The temperature at the nozzles and vents
is
  regulated   by   the   system   according   to   the  
t

emperature   in   the   passenger   compartment  
a

nd   the   temperature   setting.

(red)
  the   value.
Air flow adjustment
Press one of these buttons to
increase or decrease the speed of
the  air   booster   fan.
The
 
driver
 
and
 
front
 
passenger
 
can
 
each
 
adjust

emperature i
ndependently.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of
comfort
  and   not   to   a   temperature   in   degrees   Celsius o

r   Fahrenheit   (depending   on   the   unit   selected).
A
  setting   of   around   21   provides   optimum   comfort.
 D

epending   on   your   requirements,   a   setting   between
 1

8   and   24   is   normal.
In addition, it is recommended that a difference
between  left   and   right   of   more   than   3   should   be  
av

oided. The
  air   flow   symbol   (a   fan)   fills   progressively  
a

ccording   to   the   quantity   of   air   wanted.
By   reducing   the   air   flow   to   minimum,   you   are  
s

topping
 v
entilation.
Avoid   driving   for   too   long   without  
v

entilation   (risk   of   misting   and  d
eterioration   of   air   quality).
