MULTIFUNCTION SCREENS





A few definitions…
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km),
dashes are displayed. After fi lling with at
least 5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated
and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles
(100 km).
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of
the digits, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.

Average fuel
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel
consumption since the last
trip computer zero reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.


Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed
calculated since the last trip
computer zero reset (igni-
tion on).

Distance remaining to
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining
to be travelled to the fi nal destination.
It is either calculated instantly by the
navigation system, if guidance is acti-
vated, or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes
are displayed in place of the digits.








Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start,
a time counter calculates the time spent
in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.

COMFORT
VENTILATION
System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle's
passenger compartment.
Air flow paths
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:


- direct arrival in the passenger com-
partment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit
(heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit
(air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits. The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com-
partment combining several air vents.
The air fl ow control enables you to
increase or reduce the speed of the
ventilation fan.

The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode.


Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A
on the centre
console. Depending on the model, the
functions offered are:


- the level of comfort required,

- air fl ow,

- air distribution,

- demisting and defrosting,

- manual or digital air conditioning
controls.


Air distribution



1.
Windscreen demisting or defrosting
vents.

2.
Front side window demisting or de-
frosting vents.

3.
Side adjustable air vents.

4.
Central adjustable air vents.

5.
Air outlets to the front footwells.

6.
Air outlets to the rear footwells.

COMFORT
The condensation created by
the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the ve-
hicle which is perfectly normal.
The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation
and maintenance below:


)
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate renewal
of air in the passenger compartment.

)
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 passenger
compartment on both sides of the rear shelf.

)
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind
the instrument panel); this is used for regulation of the air conditioning
system.

)
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 fi lter is in good condition and have
the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).

)
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 qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing
capacity.

1. Temperature adjustment










The heating/ventilation or air condition-
ing systems can only operate with the
engine running.
)

If you place the air fl ow control
in position 0
(deactivation of the
system), the temperature is no
longer maintained at a comfort-
able level. However, a slight
fl ow of air, due to the movement
of the vehicle, can still be felt.



3. Air distribution adjustment
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

The control button is
located on the heat-
ing or air conditioning
system control panel.
REAR SCREEN DEMIST/DEFROST


)
Switch off the demist/defrost
of the rear screen and door
mirrors as soon as you con-
sider this possible as lower
current consumption results
in reduced fuel consumption.



Switching on

The rear screen demist/defrost can only
operate when the engine is running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and the door mir-
rors. The indicator lamp associated
with the button comes on.



Switching off

The demist/defrost switches off auto-
matically to prevent an excessive con-
sumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demist/de-
frost operation before it is switched off
automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated
with the button switches off.

COMFORT
Footwells.
Central and side vents.
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial in
an intermediate position.

4. Air intake/Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the
formation of mist on the windscreen and
side windows.
The recirculation of interior air isolates
the passenger compartment from exterior
odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as
possible to prevent deterioration of the
the air quality and the formation of mist.


)
Press the button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
indicator lamp comes on to
confi rm this.

)
Press the button again to permit the
intake of exterior air. The indicator
lamp switches off to confi rm this.



5. Air conditioning On/Off
It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the de-
misting in winter, above 3 °C.


Switching off


)
Press the "A/C"
button again, the
button’s indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively in
all seasons, with the windows
closed.

Switching on


)
Press the "A/C"
button, the button’s
indicator lamp comes on.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the air fl ow adjustment control 2

is in position " 0
".
To obtain cooled air more quickly, you
can use recirculation of interior air for a
few moments. Then return to fresh air
intake.
