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 condition-
ing condensation is discharged via
an opening 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. AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF
THE AIR CONDITIONING
Do not cover the temperature and
humidity sensor
2 and the sunshine
sensor 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 permits
automatic and optimised control of all
of the following functions: air fl ow, pas-
senger compartment temperature and
air distribution, by means of various sen-
sors (exterior temperature, interior tem-
perature, sunshine), so preventing 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 conditioning.
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.
1. Centre panel vents.

2. Temperature sensor.

3. Air outlet to passenger footwells.

4. Side vents.

5. Front windows de-icing or demisting
vents.

6. Windscreen de-icing or demisting
vents.

7. Sunshine sensor.

few seconds.
Keep the ring in this position to operate
the screen wash with several wipes of
the wiper. The intermittence of the rear wiper can
be confi gured via the colour display
"Equipment" menu.
Automatic windscreen wiping
The windscreen wipers operate auto-
matically, without any action on the part
of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor
behind the interior mirror), adapting their
speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation

 Move the stalk A to the "AUTO" po-
sition.
A message appears on the multifunc-
tion screen.
Deactivation

 Move the stalk A to the "OFF" posi-
tion.
A message appears on the multifunction
screen. Operating fault
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked
with the brightness sensor and located
in the centre of the windscreen behind
the interior mirror.
Switch off the automatic wiping
when using an automatic car
wash.

To protect the rubber of the wiper, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the automatic mode
when the vehicle is parked and when the
exterior temperature is below 0 ° C.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until
the windscreen is completely clear
of ice before activating the automatic
wiping.

AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, ...) located behind the vehicle,
but it cannot detect obstacles located
immediately below the bumper. Activation
The parking assistance is activated by
engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated
by an audible signal which becomes
more frequent as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
When a certain distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is
reached, the audible signal becomes
continuous:
An object such as a stake, a road
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the begin-
ning of the manoeuvre but may no
longer be detected when the vehicle
moves closer to it.
Location of the sensors
The vehicle is fi tted with four sensors:
- two side sensors
A
- two central sensors B . Vehicle only
Vehicle fi tted with a towbar
Detection zones
The detection zones differ according to
the vehicle's equipment, with or without
towbar.
Therefore, you can select the towbar
mode, the fi tting zone
C is excluded
from the detection zones.
The parking assistance system can-
not, in any circumstances, take the
place of the need for vigilance and re-
sponsibility on the part of the driver.
Sensors

Distance
between vehicle and obstacle less than:
Side A Approximately
25 cm
Central B without
towbar Approximately
40 cm
