At any time of year, the air condition-
ing is useful for removing air humidity
and misting.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If you are towing a heavy trailer or if
outside temperatures are very high,
the air conditioning may be tempo-
rarily interrupted in favour of engine
cooling.
Sensor
The automatic air conditioning inside the passenger compartment makes use of the sunlight sensor, which is located on the dashboard behind the instrument panel.
Take care not to obstruct it.
Water arising from condensation in
the air conditioning is allowed to drain
out through an aperture provided for
this purpose; a pool of water may
thus form beneath the vehicle when
stationary.
You are recommended to have the
air conditioning system checked on
a regular basis (see Maintenance
Guide).
The air conditioning uses energy
from the engine to operate. This re-
sults in extra fuel consumption

Proximity sensors are located in the front and rear bumpers of your vehicle.
When manoeuvring, whether forwards or in reverse, at a speed below approx. 6 mph, they warn you of the presence of any obstacle situated within their detection zone, by means of:
- a s o u n d s i g n a l e m i t t e d b y t h e f r o n t or rear loudspeakers,
- t h e d i s p l a y o f t h e o u t l i n e o f y o u r vehicle with shading at the zones where obstacles are detected.
As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the sound signal tells you its position according to whether the sound issues from the front LH or RH speaker or from the rear LH or RH speaker.

Operation:
- When you engage reverse gear, a sound signal informs you that the system is active. The outline of your vehicle is displayed on the screen. Any obstacles situated at the rear or at the front of the vehicle can be detected.
- Moving forward at a speed lower t h a n a p p r o x . 1 0 k m / h ( 6 m p h ) , either in neutral or in a gear, the outline of your vehicle is displayed on the screen immediately an obstacle is detected in front of the vehicle. Obstacles situated at the front of the vehicle can be detected.
When selecting reverse gear, a short audible sig-nal followed by another audible signal, accom-panied by the illumination of the SERVICE warning lamp indicates a malfunction of the system.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
