Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment is filtered and originates either from the outside via t
he grille located at the base of the windscreen or
f
rom the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes depending on the controls selected by the
d
river:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger
c
ompartment (air intake),
-
p
assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-
p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
c
onditioning).
The
temperature control enables you to obtain
t
he level of comfort required by mixing the air of
t
he various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
diffuse
the air in the passenger compartment
c
ombining several air vents.
The air flow control enables you to increase or
reduce
the speed of the ventilation blower.
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped together on control panel A on the centre
console.
Depending on the model, the
f
unctions offered are:
-
t
he level of comfort required,
-
a
ir flow,
-
a
ir distribution,
-
d
emisting-defrosting,
-
m

Towing with the RACIng version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.
The space occupied by the
s
port diffuser prevents this.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
Practical information

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
I f a level drops significantly, have the corresponding system checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Engine oil level
It is normal to top up the oil level between two services (or oil changes). CITROËN
r
ecommends that you check the level, and top
u
p if necessary, every 3 000 miles (5 000 kms).
The
check is carried out either when
t
he ignition is switched on using the
o
il level indicator in the instrument
p
anel for vehicles so equipped, or
u
sing the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct,
y
our vehicle must be parked on a level
s
ur face with the engine having been off
f
or more than 30 minutes.
Take care when working under the
b
onnet, as certain areas of the engine
m
ay be extremely hot (risk of burns)
a
nd the cooling fan could start at any
t
ime (even with the ignition off).
Checking using the dipstick
A = MA X
B = MIN If you find that the level is above the A
mark or
belo
w the B mark, do not star t the engine
.
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk
o
f damage to the engine), contact a
C
ITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MI n
mark, you
m
ust top up the engine oil.
Refer
to
the
"Petrol engine" or "Diesel engine"
s
ection
for
the location of the dipstick in the
e
ngine
compartment of your vehicle.
F
T
ake
the
dipstick by its coloured grip and
r
emove
it completely.
F
W
ipe
the
end of the dipstick using a clean
n
on-fluffy cloth.
F
R
efit
the
dipstick and push fully down, then
p
ull
it
out again to make the visual check:
t
he
correct level is between the marks A
and B .
Oil grade
Before topping-up the oil or changing the oil, c
heck that the oil is the correct grade for your
e
ngine and conforms to the manufacturer's
r
ecommendations.
Page 246 of 458
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
e
xceed it.
In
addition, as the cooling system is
p
ressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching
off the engine before carrying out any
wo
rk.
To
avoid
any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
b
y
two
turns to allow the pressure to drop.
W
hen
the
pressure has dropped, remove the
c
ap
and
top up the level.
When
the
engine is warm, the temperature of
t
he
coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
Screenwash fluid level
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, t his fluid must not be topped up or replaced
w
ith plain water.
In
w
intry
c
onditions,
i
t
i
s
r
ecommended
