For even air distribution, take care not
to obstruct the exterior air intake grille
located at the bottom of the windscreen,
the vents, the air outlets under the front
seats and the air extractor located be-
hind the fl aps in the boot. The water formed by the air conditioning
condensation is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose. Therefore,
a puddle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
THE AIR CONDITIONING
Do not cover the temperature and hu-
midity sensor
2 and the sunshine sen-
sor
7 .
They are required for regulation of the
air conditioning.
Advice on operation
In hot weather, in order to obtain in-
tense ventilation, it is advisable to
use vents 1 and
4 only.
If, when the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long time, the interior
temperature remains very high, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passen-
ger compartment for a few minutes. Switch off the air conditioning when
the climatic conditions permit.
Use of the automatic regulation of the
air conditioning is recommended. It per-
mits automatic and optimised control of
all of the following functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment temperature
and air distribution, by means of vari-
ous sensors (exterior temperature, in-
terior temperature, sunshine), so pre-
venting the need for you to change your
reference settings other than the value
displayed.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in hot weather), cutting
off the air conditioning permits recovery
of the engine power and therefore im-
provement of the towing capacity.
Close the windows to benefi t from the
full effectiveness of the air condition-
ing.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter is in good condition. Have
the fi lter elements replaced periodically.
If you drive in a dusty environment, re-
place it twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and is not harmful to
the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.

AUTOMATIC AIR
CONDITIONING
Automatic operation

 Set the temperature control dial 3 to
the temperature required.

 Place the air fl ow control dial 2 in
the
“AUTO” position.

 Place the air distribution adjustment
dial 1 in the
“AUTO” position. When the engine is cold, to avoid
an excessive distribution of cold air,
the ventilation will reach its optimum
level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder
(or warmer) than the comfort
temperature. There is no need to
change the temperature displayed in
order to reach the comfort required
rapidly.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will operate at maximum
performance to eliminate the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

2. Air fl ow adjustment

3. Temperature adjustment

4. Rear screen de-icing

5. Air conditioning On / Off

6. Intake of exterior air / Recirculation
of interior air
In automatic mode:

 when the temperature is set to
maximum (Rapid heating), the
intake of exterior air is activated and
the air conditioning stops.

 when the temperature is set to
minimum (Rapid cooling), the air
recirculation is activated and the air
conditioning operates.
In accordance with the level of comfort
selected, the system controls the air
distribution, the fl ow, the temperature
and the air intake to guarantee comfort
and a suffi cient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further ac-
tion on your part is required.

 by pressing the control C .
- from inside, with the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position:

 by pressing the control C, within
30 seconds.
- from outside using the remote control:

 by pressing the “closed padlock”
button briefl y 3 times to fold
them,

 by pressing the “open padlock”
button briefl y 3 times to unfold

start it with the mirrors folded, they
will unfold automatically when the
vehicle reaches 20 mph (30 km/h).
If the mirrors have been folded man-
ually or electrically after starting the
engine, they are not unfolded auto-
matically.
In this case:

 Press the control C to unfold
them. If you have folded the mirrors
using the control
C , you must
use this control to unfold them,
otherwise the mirrors will not be
locked correctly.

The folding and unfolding of the exte-
rior mirrors can be confi gured via the
colour display “Equipment” menu or
deactivated by a CITROËN dealer.
The mirrors can also be folded manually.

twice per second), there is not
much fuel remaining in your tank (ap-
proximately 5 litres).
This symbol indicates that the
fuel tank cap is located on the
left-hand side of the vehicle.

The ASC/TCL systems offer
exceptional safety in normal
driving, but this should not en-
courage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITRÖEN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITRÖEN dealer.
Disarming
In exceptional conditions (starting a ve-
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, etc.), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.

 Press the “ASC OFF” button, locat-
ed to the right of the steering wheel,
until the ASC OFF symbol appears
on the instrument panel display.
The displaying of this symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel dis-
play indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are disarmed. Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).

 Press the “ASC OFF” button again
to reactivate them manually.
The switching off of the symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.
Operating fault
The displaying of this mes-
sage on the instrument
panel display indicates a
malfunction of these sys-
tems.
Contact a CITRÖEN dealer to have the
ASC/TCL systems checked.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).
Anti-skid regulation and
electronic stability programme
The anti-skid regulation optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver.
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
This is indicated by fl ashing of
this symbol on the instrument panel dis-
play.
Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:
- the anti-skid regulation (TCL),
- the electronic stability programme (ASC).

HANDBRAKE
Releasing

 Pull on the handle and press the
button A to release the handbrake.
Applying

 Pull the handbrake to immobilise

wheels towards the pavement and ap-
ply the handbrake.
6-SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX
Reverse
To change to reverse gear, lift the ring
under the gear lever knob and push the
gear lever to the left then to the front.

Reverse gear can only be engaged
when the vehicle is stationary with
the engine idling.
When the vehicle is being
driven, the displaying of
this screen indicates that
the handbrake is still on
or has not been properly
released.
Mechanical brake to hold the vehicle
when stationary.
“CVT” GEARBOX
The six-speed automatic gearbox
offers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
This gearbox enables you to access
two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox
and therefore without any action on
the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver
using the steering wheel controls or
the gear lever.
It consists of the following controls:
- a gear lever 1 on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, re-
verse gear and neutral or for chang-
ing gear in sequential mode,
