Do not forget to check the pres-sure in the spare wheel.
Any repair or replacement of a tyre on a wheel that is equipped with a sensor must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer.Any repair or replacement of a tyre on a wheel that is equippel tha

This button activates the recirculation of air in the passenger compart-ment.
Press button 8 to switch off the entry of air from outside. The warning lamp comes on.
Whilst retaining the other settings, this position allows the driver at any moment to exclude unpleasant smells or smoke/emissions coming from outside.
This mode should be cancelled as soon as possible to allow the redistribution of air in the pas-senger compartment.
8. Air recirculation – Entry of air from outsideRemarks:When starting from cold, in order to prevent unwanted cold air, the air fl ow will increase only gradually to its optimum level.
If you enter the vehicle after a fairly prolonged stop and the temperature inside the vehicle is far from comfortable, it serves no purpose to modify the tem-perature that is displayed as an attempt to go immediately to the desired comfort level. The system automatically uses all of its power to compensate the temperature gap as quickly as possible.Water arising from the conden-sation in the air conditioning drains out through a hole pro-vided for this purpose ; a pool of water may thus form under-neath the vehicle when station-ary.
Whatever the time of year, even in cool weather the air condition-ing is useful in removing humid-ity and misting. Avoid driving for too long with air conditioning deactivated.
