passenger compartment are automatic.
Temperature adjustment
The driver and front passenger can each set the
temperature independently of one another.
►
Press one of the buttons
6 to decrease (blue)
or increase (red) the value.
The value indicated corresponds to a level of
comfort and not to a precise temperature.
It is recommended that you avoid a difference of
more than 3 in the settings for left and right.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, press the
temperature setting button down or up until
LO or HI is displayed.
Automatic comfort programme
► Press button 10 "AUTO" to activate automatic
mode of the air conditioning system.
When the indicator lamp in the button is on, the
air conditioning system operates automatically:
the system manages the temperature, air
flow and air distribution in the passenger
compartment in an optimum way according to
the comfort level you have selected.
It is possible to adjust the intensity of the
automatic comfort programme by choosing one
of the settings offered in the secondary page,
accessible from button 11 "OPTIONS ".
To change the current setting, shown by
illumination of the corresponding indicator lamp,
press button 13 repeatedly until the desired
mode is displayed:
"Soft": provides soft and quiet operation by
limiting air flow.
"Normal": offers the best compromise between
a comfortable temperature and quiet operation
(default setting).
"Fast": provides strong and effective air flow.
Use the "Normal" or "Fast" modes to ensure the
comfort of passengers in the rear seats.
This setting is associated with automatic mode
only. However, on deactivation of AUTO mode,
the indicator lamp for the last setting remains on.
Changing the setting does not reactivate AUTO
mode if this was deactivated.
In cold weather with the engine cold, the
air flow is increased gradually until the
comfort setting has been reached, in order to
limit the delivery of cold air into the passenger
compartment.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer than
the comfort setting requested, there is no
need to alter the value displayed to more
quickly reach the required level of comfort.
The system automatically corrects the
temperature difference as quickly as possible.
Automatic visibility programme
For more information on the button 1 "Automatic
Visibility Programme", refer to the section
"Front Demisting/Defrosting ".
"Air Quality System" (AQS)
function
Using a pollution sensor, this function
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once a certain level of polluting
substances in the exterior air is detected.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, recirculation of interior air is automatically
deactivated.
This function is not designed to detect
unpleasant odours.
Recirculation is automatically activated when the
windscreen wash is used or when reverse gear
is engaged.
The function does not operate if the exterior
temperature is below 5
°C, to avoid the risk of
misting of the windscreen and side windows.
To activate or deactivate the function, go to the
secondary page by using button 11 "OPTIONS ",
then press button 15.

To obtain cool air more quickly, you can
use recirculation of the interior air for a few
moments. Then return to the intake of exterior
air.
Switching off the air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity, misting).
Mono-zone/Dual-zone
The passenger temperature setting can be linked
to the driver's setting (mono-zone function).
It is available in the secondary page by pressing
button 11 "OPTIONS ".
► Press button 14 to activate the "MONO"
function; its status is displayed as " ON".
The function is automatically deactivated if the
passenger uses their temperature adjustment
buttons (dual-zone function).
Ventilation with the ignition
on
When the ignition is switched on, you can use
the ventilation system to adjust the air flow 5
and air distribution 7 settings in the passenger
compartment, for a period which depends on the
battery charge.
This function does not allow the operation of the
air conditioning system.
Interior air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.
Recirculating the interior air isolates the
passenger compartment from outside odours
and fumes and allows the desired passenger
compartment temperature to be achieved more
rapidly.
► Press this button to activate/deactivate
the function (confirmed by the
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).
The function is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.

The connection of an electrical device not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
USB sockets

They allow the connection of a portable device in
order to recharge it.
The front USB socket also allows a smartphone to be connected by
Android Auto
® , or CarPlay®, enabling certain
smartphone applications to be used on the touch
screen.
For best results, use a cable made or approved
by the device manufacturer.
These applications can be managed using the
steering-mounted controls or the audio system
controls.
When the USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed if the
power drawn by the portable device exceeds
the current supplied by the vehicle.
