Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the passenger  compartment,   it   is   possible  
to exceed the value 15 by turning until 
LO
  is   displayed   or   the   value   27   by  
turning
  until   HI   is   displayed.
o
n entering the vehicle, the inside 
temperature
  may   be   much   colder    
(or
  warmer)   than   is   comfortable.  
There
  
is no advantage in changing the value 
displayed
  in   order   to   quickly   reach   the  
level
  of   comfort   required.  
The
   system  
will
  use   its   maximum   performance   to  
reach
  the   comfort   value   set.
DIGITAL AIR  CONDITIONING
Automatic operation
AUTO comfort programme
This
  is   the   normal   air   conditioning  
system
  operating   mode. Driver or passenger side comfort 
value
The value indicated in the screen 
corresponds
  to   a   level   of   comfort   and  
not
  a   temperature   in   degrees   Celsius  
or
  Fahrenheit.
Turn this control to the left 
or to the right to decrease or 
increase   the   value.  
A 
 setting  
around the value 21 provides 
optimum
  comfort.   However,  
depending
  on   your   requirements,   a  
setting
  between   18   and   24   is   usual.
d
o not cover the sunshine sensor 
located
  on   the   dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO 
symbol
  is   displayed.
The
  system   controls   the  
distribution,
  the   flow   and   the  
intake
  of   air   to   guarantee  
comfort
  and   a   sufficient   circulation  
of
  air   in   the   passenger   compartment  
according
  to   the   comfort   value   set.   No  
further
  action   on   your   part   is   required.Air
  flow   will   increase   gradually   when  
the 
engine is cold, to prevent excessive 
distribution   of   cold   air.
For your comfort, the settings are stored when the ignition is switched of
f and are 
reinstated
  the   next   time   the   vehicle   is
 started.
The
  automatic   function   will   no   longer   be
 maintained
  if   you   change   a   setting   manually
 (AUT
O   is   cleared).

Manual operation
You can, according to your 
requirements,  make   a   different   selection from
  that   offered   by   the   system   by
 changing
  a   setting.  
The
   other   functions
 will
  still   be   controlled   automatically.
 Pressing the 
AUTO button restores fully 
automatic
  operation.
Air distribution
Pressing this button several 
times
  in   succession   directs  
the
  air   flow   towards:
-
 
the windscreen,
-
 
the windscreen and footwells,
-
 
the footwells,
-
 
the side vents, central vents and 
footwells,
-
 
the
   side   vents   and   central   vents.Air flow
Press the small fan button to 
reduce
  the   flow   or   the   large 
fan button to increase the 
flow.
On
  the   display,   the   blades   of   the   fan   fill  
when
  the   flow   is   increased.
Switching the air 
conditioning On / Off
Press this button, the A/C 
symbol

air
  conditioning   is   activated.
Deactivating the system
Press
  the   air   flow   small fan 
button
  until   the   fan   symbol  
disappears
  from   the   display.
This action deactivates all 
of
  the   system's   functions,   with   the  
exception of the air recirculation and 
rear
  screen   demisting   (if   fitted   on   your  
vehicle).

Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to 
recirculate
  the   interior   air.  
The
  recirculation   symbol   is  
displayed.
Pressing the 
large fan 
button or the AUTO button 
reactivates
  the   system   with  
the values set before it was 
deactivated.Recirculation prevents exterior odours
 
and
  smoke   from   entering   the   passenger
 compartment.
 
A

 condensation,
  odour   and   humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the 
intake
  of   exterior   air.
Pressing this button again switches off 
the
  air   conditioning.
The ventilation outlet, located 
in the glove box, diffuses cool 
air (if the air conditioning is 
on) regardless of the reference 
temperature
  requested   in   the  
passenger
  compartment   and  
regardless
  of   the   exterior   temperature.
For
  your   comfort,   do   not   deactivate   the  
system
  for   long   periods.

"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   flow   of   air   towards  
the
  windows   instead.

Do
  not   block   the   vents   located   at   the  
windscreen or the air extractor located 
in
  the   boot.
Dust filter, odour filter (activated 
carbon)
This filter traps certain dust and limits odours.
Ensure   that   this   filter   is   in   good  
condition
  and   have   all   of   the   filter  
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,   first   ventilate   the   passenger  
compartment
  for   a   few   minutes.
Use
  the  
AUT
 O   mode   as   much   as  
possible
  as   it   permits   optimised  
control
  of   all   of   the   functions:   air   flow,  
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   good   working   order.
If
  the   system   does   not   produce   cold   air,  
do not use it and contact a CITR
o Ë n  
dealer
  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility 
programme
The
 
comfort
 
programme
 
(AUTO)
 
may
 
not
 
be
 
sufficient
 
to
 
quickly
 
demist
 
or
 
defrost
 
the
 
windows
 
(humidity,
 
several
 
passengers,
 
ice).
In this case, select the visibility 
programme.
 
The
 
visibility
 
programme
 
indicator
 
comes
 
on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air 
flow
 
and
 
provides
 
optimum
 
distribution
 
of the ventilation to the windscreen and 
side
 
windows.
It
 
deactivates
 
the
 
air
 
recirculation. It
  is   normal   that   the   condensation  
created
  by   the   air   conditioning   system  
results
  in   a   flow   of   water   which   may  
form
  a   puddle   under   the   vehicle   when  
parked.
