In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation andmaintenance 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. Place the air flow control at a sufficient 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 grilleslocated at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the passenger compar tment 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 itin good working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the purification 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 haveit checked regularly.)
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

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

Towing a trailer, ...
Driving advice


Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed.) To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
) Take into account the increased sensitivityto side wind.

)If the warning lamp and the STOPwarning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bic
ycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thusreducing engine per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.

We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle,and that the fitting of the towbar isentrusted to a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it isfitted in accordance with the vehiclemanufacturer's instructions.

Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must takepar ticular care.

Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.

of the weights and towed loads which apply toyour vehicle.

Insert the CD in the player, insert the USBmemory stick in the USB player or connect theUSB peripheral to the USB port using a suitablecable (not supplied)

The system builds playlists (in temporarymemory), an operation which can take froma few seconds to several minutes at the fi rstconnection.
R
educe the number of non-music fi les and the number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The pla
ylists are updated every time the ignition
is switched off or connection of a USB memory stick. However, the system memorises these
lists and if they are not modifi ed, the loadingtime will be shorter.
Pla
y starts automatically after a period which
depends on the capacity of the USB memory stick. SELECTION OF SOURCE
