darkens the mirror glass and reduces the
nuisance to the driver caused by the sun,
headlamps from other vehicles, etc.

Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at the
base of the windscreen or from the inside in air
recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger compartment
(air intake),
-

p
assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-

p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
Control panel
Depending on equipment, the
controls for this system will be
accessible via the Air conditioning
menu on the touch screen, or via the
centre console panel located below
the audio system.
The demisting/defrosting controls for the
windscreen and the rear screen are located
below the touch screen, or on the centre
console panel located below the audio system.

Air distributionRecommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor in the boot free from
obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the automatic 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

R
eplace the filter elements regularly.
We 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, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
1.
Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents.
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting
vents.
3. Adjustable and closable side air vent.
4. Central adjustable air vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.
6. Rear air outlets. 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.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d
o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-

d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.

They operate with the sidelamps
or dipped beam headlamps on, in
manual or auto mode.In good or rainy weather, by day and night,
using the front foglamps and the rear
foglamp is prohibited. In these situations,
the power of their beams may dazzle other
drivers. They should only be used in fog or
falling snow.
In these weather conditions, it is your
responsibility to switch on the foglamps
and dipped beam headlamps manually as
the sunshine sensor may detect sufficient
light.
Do not forget to turn off the front foglamps
and the rear foglamp as soon as they are
no longer necessary.
Switching off of the lighting when the
ignition is switched off
On switching off the ignition, all of the
lamps turn off immediately, except for

position.
On opening the driver's door a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the
lighting is on.
It will go off automatically after a period of
time that depends on the state of charge
in battery (entering energy-saving mode).
