Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep
your hands on the wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours
is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on
flooded roads, as this could cause serious
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as
to the electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

check that the depth of water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

drive as slowly as possible without

stalling. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),
-

do not stop and do not switch of
f the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light
brake applications to dry the brake discs and
pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied -
Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead
leaves...) might come into contact with the
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral.

Air conditioning
The air conditioning can only operate with
the engine running.
The fan must be set to at least 1.
Pressing the button triggers the

For optimum operation of this system, the settings below are recommended:
recirculation of interior air
This position should only be
temporary.
Used with the air conditioning
switched on and the fan setting
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you to
obtain the required ambient air comfort level
with both hot or cold settings.
Recirculation temporarily prevents exterior

to a maximum setting of 32,
-

cooling the interior ambient air

temperature LO (Low) which goes down
to a setting of 16.
Air distribution
A press illuminates the LED on the buttons
which distribute the air flow towards:
the windscreen and front side
window vents (demisting/
defrosting the windows),
the central and side vents (chest
and face),
the vents in the front and rear
areas (feet).
The combination of buttons permits
improvement of air distribution.

Successive presses of this button
increase (+) or reduce (-) the
force of the air flow to the interior.
Intake of exterior air / r ecirculation of interior air
When the LED is on, the air
recirculates inside the passenger
compartment to prevent the entry of exterior
odours and smoke. This position should be
temporary.
When the ambient air comfort level has been
reached, pressing the button switches the
LED off and reopens the exterior air intake.
Pressing the A

The system manages the air conditioning,
the flow and intake of air, the defrosting
of the rear screen and provides optimum
distribution of the air to the windscreen and

If your vehicle is fitted with additional
heating, switch it off to ensure rapid and
effective demisting/defrosting.

If your vehicle is fitted with an additional
air conditioning unit, located in the rear of
the vehicle: the distribution duct located in
the roof and the individual diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of cold air.
The warm air diffused at the floor, from the
front air conditioning unit, is distributed at
the feet of the rear passengers of rows 2
and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly
for the feet of the rear passengers of row 3.
Additional heating
This is passenger compartment heating,
additional to the standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.
Additional heater or programmable
additional heating
This is an additional, programmable and
separate system which heats the Diesel
engine hot coolant loop to make starting
easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted to the vehicle.
The passenger compartment heating is
brought up to temperature more rapidly.
This system must be programmed to start up
before you enter the vehicle. On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.
Press this control to activate/
deactivate the heating. The LED
is on if the heating is activated.
When rapid demisting and
defrosting is required, switch off the control.
Automatic additional heating
This is an additional system which starts
automatically when the ignition is switched
on. Its activation depends on the ambient
temperature and the temperature inside the
vehicle.
It switches off automatically once the
heating system is started manually.
