Ventilation
DE-ICING AND DEMISTING
GOOD PRACTICE
Vents

"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion
of hot or cool air in the passenger
compartment, there are adjustable
central and side vents which can
be directed sideways (right or left)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the fl ow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.
Dust filter, odour filter
(activated carbon)
This fi lter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good
condition and have all of the fi lter
elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 7. Air conditioning
In all seasons, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior
temperature remains high after a
prolonged period parked in the sun, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised
control of all of the functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment comfort
temperature, air distribution, air
intake mode or air recirculation in the
passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a fl ow of water which may
form a puddle under the vehicle when
parked.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be suffi cient to quickly demist or
de-ice the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator light comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
fl ow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

Practical information
TORCH
Using the torch
Remove it from its location by pulling
from the top.
Press the switch, located on the back
of the torch, to switch it on or off.
The retaining clip allows you to position
the torch for precise use (for example,
lighting while changing a wheel). Storing the torch
Always put the torch back starting by
positioning the lower part in its location.
If it is not engaged correctly it may not
charge and may not come on when the
boot is opened.
Putting the torch back in place
switches it off automatically if it has not
been switched off already.
The torch has a maximum operating
time of 45 minutes and charges within
a few hours while driving.
Never replace the storage batteries
with conventional batteries.
A removable torch, incorporated in
the wall of the boot, carries out two
functions:
- boot light,
- torch.
The boot light operates automatically
when the boot is opened.
The torch operates with NiMH type
storage batteries.
Observe the polarities when fi tting
these storage batteries.
