"AUTO FAST": provides dynamic and efficient
air distribution.
To change the AUTO mode, press button 9
successively.
To ensure passenger comfort in the rear seats,
favour settings AUTO NORMAL and AUTO

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 air conditioning manual settings

AQS function
Using an exterior air quality sensor, this function
automatically activates the recirculation of
interior air when a certain level of pollutants in
the outdoor 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 is inactive if the outside temperature
is below 5°C to prevent the risk of misting on the
windscreen and side windows.
Clean air function
Using an interior air quality sensor, this function
detects fine particles (e.g.
cigarette smoke).
Recirculation management of interior air makes
it possible to return to a purified passenger
compartment in just a few minutes, thanks
to the passage of air through the passenger
compartment filter.

52
Ease of use and comfort
If the air quality appears to be reduced, consult
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
change the passenger compartment filter.
Air conditioning on / off
The air conditioning is designed to operate
effectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It lowers the temperature in summer.
It increase the effectiveness of the demisting, in
winter, above 3°C.

of the button comes on.
Air conditioning does not operate when the air flow is deactivated.
To obtain cool air more quickly, enable interior
air recirculation for a a brief period. Then
return to the intake of exterior air.
Switching off air conditioning may result in
some discomfort (humidity, misting).
Maximum air conditioning
This function automatically adjusts the
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the
air distribution towards the central and side air
vents, the air flow to maximum and activates
interior air recirculation.
► Press knob 2 to activate/deactivate the
function (the indicator lamp will come on/switch
off).
Once the function is deactivated, the system
returns to the previous settings.
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).
This function is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
Front demisting
- defrosting

off automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of electrical current.
Heated windscreen
In cold weather, this function heats the entire
windscreen and complements the Automatic
Visibility programme to speed up the clearing of
elements that interfere with visibility (e.g. dew,
mist, frost, snow), located on either side of the
windscreen.
It can be used both before setting off and while
driving.
Switching on/ off
► With the engine running, press this button to

This indicator lamp comes on fixed when
a temperature pre-conditioning cycle is
programmed. It flashes when temperature pre-
conditioning is in progress.
You can set multiple programmes. Each one is saved in the system.
To optimise the driving range, we recommend
starting a programme while the vehicle is
connected.
The programming can also be carried out from a smartphone via the MyCitroën
App application.
