Ease of use and comfort
3– "AUTO SOFT": provides soft and quiet
operation by limiting air flow .
–
"AUTO NORMAL": offers the best
compromise between a comfortable temperature
and quiet operation (default setting).
–
"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
FAST.
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
It is possible to manually adjust one or more
of these functions, while the system retains
automatic control of the other functions:
–

air flow
.
– air distribution.
The indicator lamp in the " AUT
O" button goes
out is a setting is changed.
►

Press again knob 3

to reactivate automatic
air conditioning.
Adjusting the air flow
► Turn the knob 3 to increase of decrease air
flow.
Switching off the air conditioning
system
When the air flow is reduced to a minimum,
ventilation stops.
"OFF " is displayed and the lights on the
central controls go off.
Adjusting the air distribution
► Press the buttons 8 to adjust the air flow
distribution inside the passenger compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
Central and side air vents
Footwells
A symbol is activated to display the presence of
blown air in the direction indicated. It is possible

uniform distribution throughout the passenger
compartment.
Clean Cabin function
It includes the AQS (Air Quality System) and
Clean Air functions.
►
T
o activate/deactivate the function, press
button 11 .
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.

Lighting and visibility
Switching on the lamps after
switching off the ignition
To reactivate the lighting control, rotate the
ring to the "AUTO" position, then to the
desired position.
If the driver's door is opened, a temporary
audible signal warns the driver that the lamps
are on.
They will go off automatically after a period
of time that depends on the level of charge in
the battery (entering energy economy mode).
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
Never look too closely at the light beam
of LED technology lamps - risk of serious
eye injury!


Travelling abroad
If planning to use your vehicle in a
country that drives on the other side of the
road, the dipped beam headlamps must be
adjusted to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Daytime running lamps/
Sidelamps
These LED lamps at the front of the vehicle light
up automatically when the engine starts.
They perform the following functions:
–

Daytime running lamps (lighting control stalk
at position

–

Sidelamps (lighting control stalk at position
"

AUTO" with low ambient light or "Sidelamps
only" or "Dipped/main beam headlamps").
Direction indicators

► Left or right: lower or raise the lighting control
stalk, beyond the point of resistance.
If you keep the direction indicators on for
more than 20 seconds, the volume of the
audible signal will increase if the speed is

when parking on the right, push
the lighting control stalk down to light up on the
left).
This is confirmed by an audible signal and the
lighting of the corresponding direction indicator
lamp on the instrument panel.
►
