5. Air intake/Air recirculation.
Air conditioning
The air conditioning only works with the engine
running.
The fan must be set to at least 1.
Pressing the button switches the air
conditioning on; the LED is lit.
Pressing the button again switches the function
off; the LED goes out.
Temperature
F Turn the dial to select a position between blue
(cold) and red (hot) so as to
adjust the temperature to your
requirements.
Air flow
F Turn the control to your chosen position to obtain sufficient air
flow for your comfort.
If you place the air flow control at
position 0 (off), the thermal comfort is no
longer controlled. However, a slight flow of
air can still be felt due to the movement of
the vehicle.
Air distribution
The air supply distribution is directed by the
control turned towards: the footwells,
the windscreen, footwells and side
windows,
the windscreen and side windows.
Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculation of the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
Used with the air conditioning switched on
and the fan setting (from 1
to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required ambient air
comfort level with both hot or cold settings.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to avoid deterioration of the air quality and the
formation of mist.

To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
a closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which are not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
The additional heating switches off when
the battery voltage is low, so as to allow
engine starting.
The additional heating is fed by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating
when refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or
explosion!
The temperature near the heating
system must not exceed 120°C. A higher
temperature (e.g. when baking the
paint) could damage the components of
electronic circuits.
The additional heating is fitted with
a
temperature limiter which cuts off
the combustion in the event of engine
overheating due to a
lack of coolant.
Check the level and top up if necessary.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Then press the programme selection
button before switching the heating on
again.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 order.
F
E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and replace
the filter elements periodically. We
recommend the use of a
combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it helps both to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and to keep the passenger compartment
clean (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.
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.
