Air flow
► Turn knob 2 to obtain sufficient air flow to 
ensure your comfort.
The maximum level of ventilation is to be 
reserved for defrosting or to cool the 
temperature in the vehicle if it is too high.
If the air flow control knob is set to the 
minimum position (system deactivated), 
the temperature in the vehicle will no longer 
be controlled. A slight flow of air can still be 
felt, due to the forward movement of the 
vehicle.
Temperature
► Turn the thumbwheel  1 from "LO" (cold) 
to "HI" (hot) to adjust the temperature to your 
requirements.
A setting of around 21 provides optimum  comfort. Depending on your 
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is 
normal.
In addition, we recommend avoiding left/right 
setting differences of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior 
temperature is significantly colder or 
warmer than the comfort value setting, there 
is no need to alter the value displayed in 
order to reach the required level of comfort. 
The system compensates automatically and 
corrects the temperature difference as quickly 
as possible.

Driving
With Petrol engines, after a cold start, 
pre-heating the catalytic converter can 
cause noticeable engine vibrations when 
stationary, with the engine running, for 
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle 
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away, 
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the 
starter motor again. If the engine does not 
start after several attempts, do not keep 
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor 
and the engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

unlocks and the engine starts more or less 
instantly.
With the EAT8 automatic gearbox, the engine 
starts more or less instantly.
The warning lamp does not come on if  the engine is already warm. In some 
climatic conditions, it is advised to follow the 
recommendations below:
–
 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
to warm up while stationary
, but move off 
straight away and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
Depending on version, if the air 
conditioning is activated and when the 
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C, the idle 
engine speed can accelerate up to 1,300 
rpm depending on the air conditioning 
requirements.
–
 
In wintry conditions, when the ignition is 
switched on, the duration of lighting of the 
preheating indicator lamp is extended. W
ait
