Recirculation of interior airAir conditioning A/C
The LED in the button is
off.
 This   is   the   preferred  
operating

  position.
Pressing the button starts
the air conditioning system,
the
  LED   is   on.   Pressing   the  
button again switches the
function of

f and the LED
goes off.
The air conditioning does not operate if
the
  fan   speed   is   set   to   0.
The air conditioning can only operate
with
  the   engine   running.
The
  LED   in   the   button   is   on.  
Recirculation temporarily
prevents exterior odours
and

  smoke   from   entering   the  
passenger

  compartment.
Used with the setting of the fan speed
(from 1 to 4), recirculation enables you
to attain the desired comfort level more
quickly
 
with   both   hot   or   cold   settings.
This
 
position   should   only   be   temporary.  
When your desired comfort level has
been

 
reached,   return   to   the   intake  
of exterior air position to permit
renewal of the air in the passenger
compartment

  and   avoid   misting.  
This
  is  
the

 
preferred   operating   mode.

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO  is   displayed   or   the   value   27   by  
turning

  until   HI   is   displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder
(or
  warmer)   than   is   comfortable.  
There
 
is no advantage in changing the value
displayed

  in   order   to   quickly   reach   the  
level

  of   comfort   required.  
The
  system  
will use its maximum performance to
reach

  the   comfort   value   set.
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning

not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or
  Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase   the   value.  
A 
setting  
around the value 21 provides
optimum

Press this button, the AUTO
symbol
  is   displayed.
The system controls the
distribution,
  the   flow   and   the  
intake

  of   air   to   guarantee  
comfort

  and   a   sufficient   circulation  
of air in the passenger compartment
according

  to   the   comfort   value   set.   No  
further

  action   on   your   part   is   required.Air
  flow   will   increase   gradually   when  
the

engine is cold, to prevent excessive
distribution   of   cold   air.
For your comfort, the settings are
stored when the ignition is switched off
and are reinstated the next time the
vehicle   is   started.
The automatic function will no longer
be maintained if you change a setting
manually   (AUTO   is   cleared).

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment,
  there   are   adjustable  
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or

  vertically   (up   or   down).   For   your  
comfort while driving, do not close
them

  and   direct   the   flow   of   air   towards  
the

  windows   instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do
  not   block   the   vents   located   at   the  
windscreen or the air extractor located
in

  the   boot.
Dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits odours.
Ensure   that   this   filter   is   in   good  
condition

  and   have   all   of   the   filter  
elements

  replaced   regularly.
Refer
  to   the   "Checks"   section   of  
chapter

  7.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the
windows  closed.   However,   if   the  
interior temperature remains high
after

  a   prolonged   period   parked   in  
the

  sun,   first   ventilate   the   passenger  
compartment

  for   a   few   minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control
  of   all   of   the   functions:   air   flow,  
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake

  mode   or   air   recirculation   in   the  
passenger

  compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to
  keep   it   in   good   working   order.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a CITROËN
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not
 
be
 
sufficient
 
to
 
quickly
 
demist
 
or
 
defrost the windows (humidity

, several
passengers,
 
ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme.
 
The

 
visibility
 
programme
 
indicator

 
comes
 
on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow
 
and
 
provides
 
optimum
 
distribution
 
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side

 
windows.
It
 
deactivates
 
the
 
air
 
recirculation. 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.
