Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following functions:
air fl ow, temperature in the passen-
ger compartment and air distribu-
tion, by means of various sensors
(ambient temperature, sunshine).
This eliminates any need for you to
change your settings other than the
temperature value displayed.

 Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode (by
pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave
all of the vents open, optimum comfort
will be maintained and humidity and
condensation will be removed regard-
less of the exterior climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.
HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed. If the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long period and the
interior temperature is very high, fi rst
ventilate the passenger compartment
with the windows open for a few min-
utes, then close the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses engine power
during its operation. As a result, the fuel
consumption of the vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high
temperatures), switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power
and improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spraying
at the air inlet. Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fi tted
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction. We recommend
that you leave all of the vents open.
Dust filter/Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter must be changed in line
with the vehicle's servicing schedule
(see: "Maintenance and Warranty
Guide").

When immobilising the ve-
hicle, with the engine running,
you must place the gear lever
in neutral N .
Before carrying out any work in the
engine compartment, check that
the gear lever is in neutral N and
that the parking brake is applied.
SPORT programme Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can choose to:
- move to position N to engage
neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will not be possible to
move the vehicle.
In both cases, you must apply the
parking brake to immobilise the ve-
hicle. Operating fault
With the ignition on, the fl ashing of

AUTO , accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, indicates a mal-
function of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.

In the event of a malfunction with
the system, the "ECO OFF" switch
warning lamp fl ashes then comes
on continuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall. It is then nec-
essary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the
key.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced
technology. Specialist knowledge
is needed for any work on the sys-
tem, which can only be assured by
CITROËN dealers. Before working under the
bonnet, deactivate the Stop &
Start system to avoid any risk
of injury resulting from automatic
operation of START mode.
Maintenance
This system requires a battery with
a special specifi cation and technol-
ogy (reference numbers available
from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of
malfunction of the system.

Never select positions P or R
if the vehicle is not stationary.
If, while the vehicle is moving, po-
sition N is engaged inadvertently,
allow the engine to idle before en-
gaging position D or M .
Moving off

 To start the engine, the gear
lever must be in position P or N .

 Operate the starter.

 When the engine is running,
place the gear lever on R , D or

M as required.

 Check, in the instrument panel,
the position engaged.

 Release the brake pedal and ac-
celerate.

 To avoid a possible difference
between the position of the gear
lever and the actual position of
the gearbox, always exit from
position P with the ignition on
and brake pedal applied.
Otherwise, when the ignition is on or
the engine is running:

 reposition the gear lever in posi-
tion P ,

 put your foot on the brake ped-
al and then select the gear you
want. Park
This position of the gear le-
ver is used to prevent the
vehicle from moving when
you are stationary.

 To select position P, move the
gear lever back to the highest
position (towards R ), then push
it forwards and then to the left.

 To exit position P , move the gear
lever to the right and then to the
position you want.

 Only engage this position when
the vehicle is completely sta-
tionary. In this position, the front
wheels are locked. Make sure
that the gear lever is correctly
positioned. Reverse gear
Only engage this position
when the vehicle is station-
ary. To prevent snatching,
do not accelerate too soon
after selection.
Neutral Never select position N if
the vehicle is moving.

In the event of a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration, the
speed limiter (which does not act
on the brakes) may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
Use of a fl oor mat other than that
recommended by CITROËN may
affect the normal operation of the
accelerator pedal and hamper the
operation of the speed limiter.
Floor mats approved by CITROËN
are fi tted with a 3rd fi xing located in
the pedal area to avoid any risk of
interference with the pedals.
Suspension/Resumption

 Press on button 3 .
This action causes the information

"PAUSE" to appear in zone A of the
instrument panel.
This action does not cancel the
memorised maximum speed which
remains displayed in zone A of the
instrument panel. Overriding the programmed
speed
The accelerator pedal has an end-
of-travel switch. In order to exceed
the memorised maximum speed at
any time, you can press the pedal
all the way down. While the speed
is being exceeded, the speed dis-
played in zone
A will fl ash. You have
only to release the accelerator pedal
to return below the maximum speed,
to restore the function.
The speed will also fl ash if the speed
limiter is not able to prevent the vehi-
cle from exceeding the programmed
speed (e.g. on a steep descent or
under excessive acceleration).
To reactivate the speed limiter, re-
lease the accelerator to slow to a
speed lower than the programmed
speed. Return to normal driving

 Either press on button 5 .


Or select the speed limiter function.

 Or stop the engine.
