Do not throw the remote control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.
Lost keys, remote control,
electronic key
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's
registration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible,
the label bearing the key code.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
retrieve the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is a
sensitive system; do not operate it while
it is in your pocket as there is a possibility
that it may unlock the vehicle, without you
being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your
remote control out of range and out of sight
of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping
it from working and the remote control
would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the electronic key when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.
Electrical interference
The Keyless Entry and Starting electronic
key may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, ...
Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
For vehicles with an ignition switch, do
not forget to remove the key and turn the
steering to engage the steering lock.
When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.

This is indicated by sounding of the siren
and flashing of the direction indicators for
thirty seconds.
The monitoring functions remain active until
the alarm has been triggered eleven times in
succession.
When the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control or the Keyless Entry and Starting
system, rapid flashing of the indicator lamp
in the button informs you that the alarm was
triggered during your absence. When the
ignition is switched on, this flashing stops
immediately.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
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.
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. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
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.

2. Driver's side adjustment4. Automatic visibility programme
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.
F

T
urn control 2 or 3 to the left until
"LO" is displayed or to the right
until "HI" is displayed.
For more information on the
automatic visibility programme,
refer to the "Front demisting -
defrosting"
section.
3. Passenger's side adjustment
F Turn control 2 or 3 to the left
or to the right respectively
to decrease or increase this
value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting
difference of more than 3.
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different choice
from that offered by the system by changing
a setting. The the "AUTO" indicator lamps go
off; the other functions will still be controlled
automatically.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available.
The driver and front passenger can each adjust
the temperature to their requirements.
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
F

P
ressing the "AUTO"
button returns the system
to completely automatic
operation.

Switching the system off
F Turn the air flow control to the left until all of the indicator
lamps go off.
This switch does not operate the air conditioning, only the air fan.
When the "REST" function is activated, you cannot modify the temperature, air flow
and distribution settings: these are controlled automatically according to the ambient
temperature.
This function is not available in the STOP mode of Stop & Start. Avoid prolonged operation in interior
air recirculation mode or driving for
long periods with the system off (risk of
misting and deterioration of air quality).
On switching on the engine
-
T
he control screens come on: the function
is available.
-

P

ressing the REST button activates the
ventilation for a few minutes. Activation of
the function is confirmed by the display of
two dashes in the control screens and four
air flow level indicator lamps.
-

T

he function can be deactivated and
reactivated if the control screens are on.
-

T

he screens go off at the end of this
period. On stopping the engine
-
W
hile the control screens remain on: the
function is available.
-

P

ressing the REST button activates the
ventilation for a few minutes. Activation of
the function is confirmed by the display of
two dashes in the control screens and four
air flow level indicator lamps.
L

ocking the vehicle has no effect on this
function.
-

T

he control screens go off at the end of this
period.
P

ressing again before the end of the period
interrupts off the ventilation definitively: the
control screens go off and the function is
no longer available. This action switches off the air conditioning and
the ventilation.
Temperature related comfort is no longer
assured but a slight flow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.
F

M
odify the settings
(temperature, air flow or air
distribution) or press the
"AUTO" button to reactivate
the system with the values set
before it was switched off.
