adequate temperature, you can stop
the function; reducing the consumption
of electrical current reduces fuel
consumption.Prolonged use at the highest setting is
not recommended for those with sensitive
skin.

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

R
eplace the filter elements 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).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations 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. 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.
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.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop &
Start system to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.

However, a slight flow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.
Pressing any button reactivates the system with
the settings that were previously in use. Avoid driving for long periods with
the system off – Risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality!
Automatic air conditioning
The air conditioning operates with the engine
running, but the ventilation and its controls are
available with the ignition on.
Operation of the air conditioning and regulation
of temperature, air flow and air distribution in

Panoramic glazed sunroof
This glazed roof provides increased visibility
and light in the passenger compartment, while
maintaining normal temperatures thanks to its
"high thermal protection" coating.
Advice on care
In order to preser ve the properties of the
glazed roof, we recommend wiping or cleaning
the inner glass using a clean, soft and dry
cloth.
For stubborn stains, the glass should be
cleaned using screenwash fluid, rinsed with
clean water, then dried with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not use soapy water, abrasive
products, detergents (particularly those
with an ammonia base), solvents,
solutions with a high concentration of
alcohol, petrol, etc.
