VENTILATION
A. Sunshine sensor.
B. Soft air diffusion grille.
The soft air diffusion grille locat- ed in the centre of the dashboard
provides optimum distribution of
the air for the front seats.
This system eliminates unpleas- ant air currents while maintaining
an optimum temperature in the
passenger compartment.
To open the soft air diffusion grille, turn the wheel upwards.
To close the soft air diffusion grille, turn the wheel fully down-
wards.
In very hot weather, to obtain more satisfactory central and
side ventilation, it is advisable to
close the diffused air grille.
C. Cooled glove box.
D. Rear passenger vents.

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:
a i r fl o w , t e m p e r a t u r e i n t h e p a s s e n -
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.
ï† 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
i n t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e i s v e r y h i g h , ï¬ r s t
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
t h e fl a p s i n t h e b o o t .

with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl o w a n d d i r e c t i o n . W e r e c o m m e n d
that you leave all of the vents open.

Changing the battery
The remote control is supplied by a
6 V-28L battery, which is supplied.
Information on the display indicates
when it is time to replace this battery.
Unclip the casing then replace the
battery.
The remote control must then be re-
initialised, see below. Always switch off the program-

plosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even
for short periods, in an enclosed
space such as a garage or work-
shop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
i n fl a m m a b l e s u r f a c e ( d r y g r a s s ,
dead leaves, paper…), there is a

The programmable heating sys-
tem is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Before use, ensure that the
quantity of fuel remaining is suf-

serve, we strongly advise that you
do not programme the heating.
Do not discard the used bat-
teries, take them to an ap-
proved collection point.
Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnect-
ed or the remote control's battery is
replaced, the remote control must
be reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press
button 4 (OFF) for 1 second within
the next 5 seconds. If the operation
has taken place correctly the mes-
sage "OK" is displayed on the re-
mote control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message
"FAIL" appears. Repeat the operation.
In addition, your programmable
heating can be used to pre-heat
your vehicle's passenger com-
partment. The interior volumetric protection
alarm movement sensor may be
d i s t u r b e d b y t h e fl o w o f a i r f r o m
the programmable heating when
it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected trigger-
ing of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is ad-
visable to deactivate the interior
volumetric protection.

Model with rear foglamps
only
Model with front and rear
foglamps In good or rainy weather, both day
and night, the front foglamps and
the rear foglamps are prohibited. In
these situations, the power of their
beams may dazzle other drivers.
They should only be used in fog or
snow.
In these weather conditions, it is
your responsibility to switch on the
foglamps and dipped headlamps
manually as the brightness sensor
m a y d e t e c t s u f ï¬ c i e n t l i g h t .
Do not forget to switch off the front
foglamps and the rear foglamps
when they are no longer necessary.
Lamps on buzzer
The triggering of an audible signal
when a front door is opened warns
the driver that he has forgotten to
switch off his vehicle's lamps, with
the ignition off and in manual lamps
mode.
In this case, switching off the lamps
stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped
headlamps remain on, they will
switch off automatically after thirty
minutes to prevent discharging of
the battery.

Linked with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
Link with the automatic illumination
of headlamps provides the "guide-
me-home" lighting with the following
additional options:
- selection of the duration of light- ing for 15, 30 or 60 seconds in
the vehicle parameters on the
i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l s c r e e n c o n ï¬ g u -
ration menu,
- automatic activation of "guide- me-home" lighting when auto-
matic illumination of headlamps
is in operation.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
brightness sensor, the lamps come
on and a message appears on the
instrument panel screen, accompa-
nied by an audible signal.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
In fog or snow, the brightness
s e n s o r m a y d e t e c t s u f ï¬ c i e n t l i g h t .
Therefore, the lamps will not come
on automatically.
Do not cover the brightness sen-
sor, linked with the rain sensor and
located in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the rear view mirror;
the associated functions would no
longer operate.
MANUAL HEADLAMP ADJUSTMENT
To avoid dazzling other road users,
the height of the halogen bulb head-
lamps must be adjusted according
to the load in the vehicle.
0. 1 or 2 people in the front seats.
-. 3 people.
1. 5 people.
-. Intermediate setting.
2. 5 people + maximum authorised
loads.
-. Intermediate setting.
3. Driver + maximum authorised
loads.
Initial setting is position "0".
AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF DIRECTIONAL HEADLAMPS
Do not touch the xenon bulbs.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
If a malfunction occurs,
this warning lamp is dis-
played on the instrument
panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a
message on the instru-
ment panel screen.
The system then places your headlamps
in the lowest position.
To avoid causing a nuisance to other
road users, this system corrects the
height of the xenon headlamp beams
automatically and when stationary,
depending on the load in the vehicle.
