In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in
the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few
minutes by opening the windows.
Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in
the passenger compar tment.
)
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under
the vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.
)
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
)
Use in preference the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may
cause misting of the windows and side windows.
)
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it
in good working order.
)
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly (refer to "Checks").
)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly.
)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
The heating and air conditioning use
energy from the main battery. Their use
increases electrical consumption and
reduces the range of the vehicle.
Remember to switch off the heating
or air conditioning as soon as it is no
longer needed.

Child safety
65
Your vehicle has been approved in accordance
with the new
ISOFIX regulation
.
The seats, represented below, are fitted with
regulation ISOFIX mountings:
"ISOFIX" mountings
There are three rings for each seat:
- two rings A
located in the angle between
the vehicle seat's cushion and backrest,
indicated by a label. This ISOFIX mounting system provides fast,
reliable and safe fitting of the child seat in your
vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fitted with two
latches which are secured on the two rings A
.
Some seats also have an upper strap
which is
secured to the ring B
.
To attach this strap, remove the head restraint
from the vehicle's seat. Attach the hook to
the ring B
, then tighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX child
seats which can be installed in your vehicle,
refer to the table showing the locations for
installing ISOFIX child seats.
- a ring B
for securing the upper strap called
the TOP TETHER
, located in the boot.
