Electrochrome (automatic day/
night) model
In order to guarantee optimum visibility
during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens
automatically when reverse gear is engaged. Using a sensor which measures the light
from the rear of the vehicle, this system
automatically and progressively changes
between day and night usage.
It has an anti-dazzle system which darkens the
mirror glass: this reduces any driver discomfort
caused by the light beam of following vehicles,
the sun...In vehicles fitted with electrochrome door
mirrors, the system has an on/off button and an
associated warning lamp.

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
located 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
of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to
have it 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 workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine is
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Contains fluorinated greenhouse gas R134A.
From 1st October 2016, depending on version and country of sale, contains fluorinated
greenhouse gas R134A (gas capacity 0.525 kg +/- 0.025 kg, GWP index 1 430, 0.751 t
equivalent CO
2). The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.

5. Air flow adjustment
Reducing the air flow to minimum switches
the air conditioning system OFF.
To prevent condensation and deterioration
of the quality of the air in the passenger
compartment, ensure that an adequate flow of
air is maintained.
6. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will only
operate when the engine is running.
The air blower control (air flow
adjustment) must be active in order
to obtain air conditioning.
7. Recirculation of interior air
F Press control 7 once to activate recycling of the
interior air.
This function permits recirculation
of the air and isolation of the
passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.
F

P

ress button 7 again
to activate automatic
recirculation with pollution
detection. F

P
ress control 7 a third time
to return to the standard
automatic mode (without
pollution detection).
Using a pollution sensor, the system
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once it detects a certain level of
pollutants in the interior air.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, the recirculation of interior air is
automatically deactivated.
F
P
ress the control:
-
t
o increase the air flow,
-

t

o reduce the air flow.
The air flow level is indicated by the
progressive illumination of the fan
blade indicator lamps.
Avoid prolonged use of air
recirculation
- Risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality!
You can store the settings of the air
conditioning system.
For more information on the Front
seats (and in particular storing driving
positions), refer to the corresponding
section.

P

ress control 6 . The indicator lamp comes
on.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
must be used with the windows closed. Recirculation of the interior air is automatically
activated when engaging reverse or if the
screenwash is used.
The system is inactive when the ambient
temperature is below +5 °C to avoid the risk of
formation of mist on the windscreen and side
windows. This system is not designed to detect
unpleasant odours.
The system is inactive when the exterior
temperature is below +5 °C to avoid the risk of
formation of mist on the windscreen and side
windows.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for
less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings
, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Pressure sensors are located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
Driving

115
C5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, depending
on equipment, to identify it.

I

the temporary puncture repair kit), check
the four tyre pressures when cold.

I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment).
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination of the
service warning lamp indicates a fault
with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more

wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(e.g. a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (e.g. fitting
snow tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
