ents
"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.

Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut of
f to save engine
power.
Tyres
Check
the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer
, observing the
recommended
pressures.
Chapter
7, "Levels" section.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine
as soon as possible.Brakes
Towing
increases the braking distance. Drive at a moderate speed, change
down
early and brake gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their wiring
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting
of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer
.
If
this equipment is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer
, it is imperative that
it
is fitted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's
instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention
to the risk associated with
fitting
a towbar or electrical accessory
not
recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system.
Please obtain information from
the
Manufacturer before fitting this type
of
equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity
to
side

is
increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
The
ABS or DSC systems only control
the
vehicle,
not
the
trailer
or
caravan.
Parking sensors
The
rear
parking
sensors
system
does
not
function
while
the

CHECKS
Carbon filter and passenger compartment filterParticle filter (Diesel)
Maintenance of the particle filter must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust.
This
water vapour does not
have any adverse ef
fect on vehicle
handling
or the environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
It may be necessary to
check
the thickness of the pads, even
between
services.
Unless
there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop
in the brake fluid level indicates
that
the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN
dealer
.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
of the system, the parking
brake
should be adjusted, even between
services.
Have
the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
An
access
flap
allows
replacement
of
the
filters.
The
carbon
filter
permits
continuous
and
effective
filtering
of
dust.
If
the
passenger
compartment
filter
becomes
blocked,
this
may
reduce
the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
W
e recommend the use of a combined
passenger
compartment
filter.
By
means of its second special active
filter
,
it
contributes
to
the
purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy
deposits).
Refer to theservicing and warranty
booklet
for
the
replacement
interval
for
these
components. Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...)
and the use of the
vehicle
(urban driving...), change them
twice
as often if necessary.
