COMFORT
When the engine is cold, to pre-
vent too great a distribution of
cold air, the air fl ow will reach its
optimum level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the
distribution of warm air to the
windscreen, side windows and
footwells only. On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort value,
there is no need to change the
value displayed in order to obtain
the comfort required. The system
corrects the difference in tempera-
ture automatically and as quickly
as possible.
The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running. The driver and front passenger
can each adjust the tempera-
ture to their requirements.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left/right set-
ting difference of more than 3.
4. Automatic visibility programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
to quickly demist or defrost the
windscreen and side windows
(humidity, several passengers,
ice, etc.).


)
In this case, select the automatic
visibility programme.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning, the air fl ow and the air
intake and provides optimum distribu-
tion of the ventilation to the windscreen
and side windows.

)
Press the "AUTO"
button.
The indicator lamp in the

justment of all of the functions, passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air recirculation, in
accordance with the comfort value that
you have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed. The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not

)
Press the closed padlock to locate
your locked vehicle in a car park.
This is indicated by lighting of the cour-
tesy lamps and fl ashing of the direction
indicators for a few seconds.
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key.
In the event of a fault, you
are informed by illumination
of this warning lamp, an au-
dible signal and a message
in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
Keep safely the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition of the
vehicle.

ACCESS
Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to fi nd the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.







Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
Remote control

The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate
it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.

An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on whichthe stations are stored.

The traffi c announcement(TA) is displayed. I donot receive any traffi c information.

Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c information.

The quality of receptionof the radio station listened to graduallydeteriorates or the stored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listenedto or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the RDS function to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...)block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.

With the engine off, the audio equipment switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating timedepends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is toohigh, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protectionmode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes toallow the system to cool.
