Ease of use and comfort

50
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.
Ease of use and comfort

51
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.
Contains fluorinated greenhouse
gases R134A
Depending on model and country of
sale, the air conditioning system may
contain fluorinated greenhouse gases
R13 4A .
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.Front demist – defrost
These markings on the control panel
indicate the control positions for
rapid demisting or defrosting of the
windscreen and side windows.
With manual air
conditioning
F Put the air flow and distribution controls to the appropriately
marked position.
For faster and more effective demisting and
defrosting of the windscreen:
F

i

ncrease the air flow setting, F

m
ove the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.
With automatic air
conditioning
F Press this button, the indicator lamp comes on. The system manages the cooling, flow and
intake of air, defrosting of the rear screen and
provides optimum distribution of the air to the
windscreen and front side windows.
If your vehicle is fitted with additional heating,
switch it off to ensure rapid and effective
demisting/defrosting.
Defrosting the rear screen
and door mirrors
F Press this button to activate
demisting/defrosting of the rear
screen and door mirrors. The
indicator lamp comes on.
This function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive energy consumption.
It is possible to stop the demisting/defrosting
operation before it is switched off automatically
by pressing this button again. The indicator
lamp goes off. Rear screen demisting/defrosting can only
operate when the engine is running.

Central storage Front seat storage
If your vehicle is fitted with a seat with
v ariable damping, it does not have any
storage compartments.
The space under the passenger's seat is
used to store the tool box containing the tools
required to change a
wheel or bulb or to tow the
vehicle.
An open storage space is provided, located
under the centre console panel.
It gives access to the auxiliary Jack socket and
the USB port intended for the transfer of data to
the audio system.
Depending on equipment, it is also fitted with a
double cup holder and/or a

smartphone holder. There is a
fixed storage tray under the driver's
