VENTILATION
Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature re-
mains very high after a pro-
longed period parked in the sun, fi rst
ventilate the passenger compartment
for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the out-
side air inlet grille, the vents, the air
passages and the air outlets to the
footwells.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter, located below the wind-
screen, in the engine compartment,
is in good condition. Have the fi lter
elements replaced regularly. If you
drive in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
In order to ensure that your air condi-
tioning system continues to operate
correctly, you are advised to have it
checked regularly.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a fl ow of water
under the vehicle when stationary
which is perfectly normal.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

comfort.
To maintain a certain level of comfort
in the passenger compartment, avoid

to the movement of the vehicle, can
still be felt. The air distribution can be ad-
justed by placing the control
in an intermediate position.

As soon as possible, move control 4
to the right to the "Intake of exterior
air" position to avoid the risks of dete-
rioration of the air quality and misting
of the windscreen and side windows. The intake of exterior air
(control
4 to the right) en-
ables you to prevent and
eliminate misting of the wind-
screen and side windows. With the engine running,
press button
6 , the indicator
lamp comes on.
The system demists the
rear screen.
It is switched off by pressing button 6
again.
In a humid climate, use of the
air recirculation may cause
misting of the windows. Switch the system off as
soon as you consider
this necessary as a lower
consumption of current re-
duces fuel consumption.
Demisting and defrosting
To quickly demist or defrost the wind-
screen and side windows:
- set the air distribution to "Windscreen and side windows",
- place the temperature control 2
and the air fl ow control 3 at
maximum,
- close the side vents,
- place the air intake control 4 in
the "Air intake" position,
- switch on the air conditioning by pressing button 1 .

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compromises
the child's protection in the event of
an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harness keeping the
slack in relation to the child's body

to a minimum , even for short jour-
neys.
To install a child seat using the ve-
hicle's seat belt, ensure that the belt
is well tightened on the child seat
and that it holds the child seat fi rmly
against the vehicle's seat.
For optimum installation of the "for-
ward facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat
and that the head restraint does not
cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of
sharp braking. Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag *
when a "rear facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
