RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING
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 well as 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 month to keep it in perfect 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 special active additive, 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 as recommended in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.

)
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off 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 increases the available engine power and
so improves the towing ability.
If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a set-
ting high enough to quickly
change the air in the passenger
compartment.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger to
the ozone layer.

The condensation created by
the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the ve-
hicle which is perfectly normal.

7. Air fl ow adjustment


)
Turn this control to the left
to decrease the air fl ow or
to the right to increase the
air fl ow.
The air fl ow indicator lamps, between
the two fans, come on progressively in
relation to the value requested. For maximum cooling or heating
of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to exceed the mini-
mum value 14 or the maximum
value 28.


)
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left
until "LO"
is displayed or
to the right until "HI"
is dis-
played.
See "Front demisting -
defrosting".

4. Automatic visibility programme


Manual operation

If you wish, you can make a different
choice from that offered by the system by
changing a setting. The the "AUTO"

cator lamps go off; the other functions will
still be controlled automatically.


)
Pressing the "AUTO"
button returns
the system to completely automatic
operation.

6. Air distribution adjustment


- the windscreen and side windows
(demisting or defrosting),

- the outer and centre air vents,

- the footwells.

You can combine the three orientations
to obtain the desired air distribution.
2. Driver's side adjustment
The driver and front pas-
senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require-
ments.


)
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.
3. Passenger's side adjustment
The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.






With Stop & Start, when dem-
isting has been activated, the
STOP mode is not available.
8. Air intake/Air recirculation


)
Press this button for recir-
culation of the interior air.
The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.
Air recirculation enables the passenger
compartment to be isolated from exte-
rior odours and smoke.


)
As soon as possible, press this but-
ton again to permit the intake of out-
side air and prevent the formation of
condensation. The indicator lamp in
the button goes off.

frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated
with the button goes off.


)
Switch off the demisting/de-
frosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate, as lower current
consumption results in re-
duced fuel consumption.
