Ease of use and comfort
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.

The air conditioning system only operates with the engine running.

2. Air flow.
3. Air distribution.
4. Interior air recirculation.
5. Air conditioning on/off.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking,
we recommend placing heavy objects as far
forwards as possible (i.e. near the cab)K
We recommend using the stowing rings on the
floor to firmly secure the load.
When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.
Warning triangle
As a safety precaution, before leaving your
vehicle to set up and install the triangle, always
switch on the hazard warning lamps and put on
your high visibility vest.
Storage compartment

There is a compartment in the interior trim of the
boot in which to store a warning triangle.
Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

T

o ensure that 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.
►

Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
►


Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order

.
►

If 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, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, 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.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly

.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the
air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
►

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.

Ease of use and comfort
► Press the “AUTO” button 6 to return to the
automatic comfort programme.
Air conditioning
With the engine running, the air conditioning is
designed to operate effectively in all seasons,
with the windows closed.
It enables you to:
– lower the temperature in summer,
– enhance the effectiveness of the demisting
function in winter, above 3°C.
On/Off
► Press button 5 to activate/deactivate the air
conditioning system.
When the air conditioning is in operation, to
cool the air more quickly, you can use interior
air recirculation for a few moments by pressing
button 4. Then restore the intake of exterior air.
The air conditioning does not operate when the air flow adjustment is set to off.
Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, misting).
Air distribution
► Pressing button 3 successively directs the air
flow towards:
– windscreen, side windows and footwells,
– footwells,
– central vents, side vents and footwells,

Automatic comfort mode
► Press the " AUTO" button 6 to toggle the
mode.
The active mode appears in the display screen,
as described below:
Ensures soft, quiet operation by limiting
air flow.
Offers the best compromise between a
comfortable temperature and quiet
operation.
Provides dynamic, effective air flow.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only increase to its optimum level
gradually, to avoid distributing too much cold
air.
In cold weather, it prioritises the distribution of
warm air to the windscreen, the side windows
and the footwells only.
Manual mode
If you wish, you can make a different choice from
that suggested by the system, by changing a
setting. The other functions will still be controlled
automatically.
The "AUTO" symbol disappears if you change
a setting.
Deactivating the system
► Press button 2 "-" until the fan symbol
disappears.
This disables all functions of the dual-zone
automatic air conditioning system.
The temperature is no longer regulated. A slight
flow of air can still be felt, due to the forward
movement of the vehicle.
►

Press button
2 "+" to switch the system on
again.
Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set the
temperature to suit their preferences.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
►

Push button
1 down to decrease the value or
up to increase it.
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.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to
exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.

Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from exterior odours
and fumes.
When required, this function also allows
faster heating or cooling of the air in the
passenger compartment.
►
