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.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e 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 the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o 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.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified 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.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine is
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section. The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate 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.
Contains fluorinated greenhouse gas R134A.
From 1st October 2016, depending on version and country of sale, contains fluorinated
greenhouse gas R134A (gas capacity 0.525 kg +/- 0.025 kg, GWP index 1 430, 0.751 t

Reducing the air flow to minimum switches
the air conditioning system OFF.
To prevent condensation and deterioration
of the quality of the air in the passenger
compartment, ensure that an adequate flow of
air is maintained.
6. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will only
operate when the engine is running.
The air blower control (air flow
adjustment) must be active in order
to obtain air conditioning.
7. Recirculation of interior air
F Press control 7 once to activate recycling of the
interior air.
This function permits recirculation
of the air and isolation of the
passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours.

to return to the standard
automatic mode (without
pollution detection).
Using a pollution sensor, the system
automatically activates recirculation of the
interior air once it detects a certain level of
pollutants in the interior air.
When the air quality returns to a satisfactory
level, the recirculation of interior air is
automatically deactivated.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for vigilance on
the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
The tyre pressures for your vehicle can
be found on the tyre pressure label.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after driving for
less then 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speed). Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the
values indicated on the label.
For more information on Identification
markings
, including the tyre pressure
label, refer to the corresponding
section. Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
Pressure sensors are located in the valve of
each tyre (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
Driving

115
C5_en_Chap04_conduite_ed01-2016
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of
the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, depending
on equipment, to identify it.

Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed illumination
of the under-inflation warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination of the
service warning lamp indicates a fault
with the system.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more

wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(e.g. a space-saver or steel spare wheel).
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (e.g. fitting
snow tyres), you must have the system
reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.

A warning may be transmitted if a direction
marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard marking
(e.g. graffiti) is crossed.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction, the service
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fitted below the front bumper, trigger
a warning if the vehicle drifts over a lane
marking (speed higher than 50 mph (80 km/h)).
The detection may be impeded:
-
i
f the sensors are dirty (mud, snow...),
-
i

f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-
i

f there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the road
sur face.
The lane departure warning system
cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the
driver.
It is necessary to observe driving
regulations and take a break every
two

hours.

Parking space sensors
System which measures the parking space
available between two vehicles or obstacles. It
measures the size of the space and gives you
information on:
-
t
he possibility of fitting into a free space,
depending on the dimensions of your
vehicle and the distances necessary for
your manoeuvres,
-

t
he level of difficulty of the manoeuvre to
be performed.
The system does not measure spaces which
are clearly much smaller or larger than the size
of the vehicle. The parking space sensor system warning
lamp can have three different states:
-

o
ff: the system is not selected,
-

o
n fixed: the system is selected but the
conditions for measuring are not yet met
(direction indicator not operating, speed too
high) or the measurement is terminated.
-

f
lashing: measurement is in progress or
the message is being displayed. You can select the "parking space sensor"
system by pressing button A

f the vehicle speed exceeds the
threshold of 45 mph (approx. 70 km/h) for
one minute.
If the lateral distance between your vehicle and
the parking space is too large, the system may
not be able to measure the space.
The system remains available after each
measurement and thus can measure more than
one space during your search.
In bad weather conditions or in winter, make
sure that the sensors are not covered by dirt, or
by ice or snow.
The parking space sensor system deactivates
the front parking sensors during space
measurement when you are in for ward gear.

Parking sensors
Operation
The parking sensors system cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system detects any obstacle (person,
vehicle, tree, barrier...) located in front of or
behind the vehicle, however, it will not be able
to detect obstacles located immediately below
the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks cone
or any other similar object may be detected at
the start of the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves nearer
to it.
At the front and/or at the rear
This system is comprised of proximity sensors,
installed in the front and/or rear bumper.
Visual and audible assistance
The proximity information is indicated by:
- a
n audible signal which becomes more rapid
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle,
-
a d

iagram in the multifunction screen, with
blocks which move closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the emission
of the audible signal by the speakers; front or rear
and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle is less than approximately thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction screen version.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the speed of the vehicle is below
about 6 mph (10 km/h), some sources
of noise (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, ...) may trigger the audible parking
sensor signals. The parking sensors are switched on
:
-

b

y engaging reverse gear,
-

a

t a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in
forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal and
the display of the vehicle in the multifunction
screen.
The parking sensors are switched off :
-

w

hen you exit reverse gear,
-
w
hen the speed is higher than 6 mph
(10

km/h) in for ward gear,
-

w

hen the vehicle has been stationary for
more than three seconds in for ward gear.
