Monitoring
When the engine is
running, this indicates the
temperature of the coolant.
Range
When the engine isrunning , this indicates
the distance which can still be travelled with thefuel remaining in the tankbased on the average
fuel consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.

This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,resulting in a large variation in the current fuel consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the value
displayed will be incorrect. Therefore,you must fill the tank whenever possible.
Coolant temperature
gauge
If the bar is close to the criticalposition located
on the right, the temperature is too high.
The symbol flashes when your engine is
overheating.
You must stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.Wait a few minutes before switching off theengine.
When the range is less than 30 miles (50 km),
dashes are displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible. The display of the range is updated.


Wait for the engine to cool beforetopping up the level. The cooling system is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap by two turns to allow thepressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped,remove the cap and top up the level, if necessary.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.


When you disconnect the battery, the previous fuel consumption data is lost and the value displayed will be different from that displayed before thebattery was disconnected. The distancedisplayed must be considered anapproximate indication.

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )
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 wellas the air extractor located in the boot. )
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a monthto keep it in per fect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by theoccupants 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 as recommended in the ser vicing booklet. )
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.











Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments. Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.

The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.


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

3. Air distribution setting
)
Place the dial in the desired
position, to direct air towards:
t
he centre and side vents,

The air distribution can be modulated byplacing the dial in intermediate positions.

When the engine is cold, to avoid an excessive distribution of cold air, theventilation will reach its optimum level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, the interior temperature may be much colder (or warmer) than the temperature setting. There is no need to change thetemperature setting in order to reachthe comfor t required rapidly.
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning will operate to correct thetemperature difference as quickly aspossible. In
automatic mode:)when the temperature is set to maximum (Rapid heating), the intake of exterior air is
activated and the air conditioning stops.)when the temperature is set to minimum(Rapid cooling), air recirculation isactivated and the air conditioning operates.

The system controls the air distribution, the flow, the temperature and the air intake to ensure the level of comfort selected and
adequate air circulation in the passenger compartment. No further action on your part is
required.
