Recommendations 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
o r d e r.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced 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). If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high,
first air 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.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a
comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
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.
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.

conditioning system and is supplied with
fresh air whatever the setting required in the
passenger compartment.
The cooling of your glove box only functions
when the engine is running and the air
conditioning is on.
Portable console
The portable console is a removable storage
space fixed to the low centre console.
It includes a
sliding flap, an open storage
compartment and two cup holders.
Taking out the portable console
Sun visor supports
The window blinds are extended via the sun
visor supports.
Fold the support downwards to avoid glare from
ahead.
In case of glare through the door windows,
release the support from its central fixing and
turn it to the side.
The supports are fitted with a
locking system
on their central fixing when rolling up the
window blind. To remove or replace the
support, it must be positioned vertically.
If it is not fixed to its support, the portable
console must be stored in the boot. It
could turn into a
projectile in the event of
sudden braking or serious impact.

To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:
-

u
nder poor visibility conditions (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a
sticker, etc.) in front of
the camera,
-

i
f the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
-

r
oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-

v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured
(for example: vehicles running behind
a
safety barrier on a motor way),
-

v
ehicles at the top or bottom of
a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.
Headlamp adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
u sers, the headlamp beams should be adjusted
for height according to the vehicle's load.

bend, when the
main or dipped beam headlamps are on and
the vehicle speed is below 25
mph (40 km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres, etc.).
