Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is veryhigh, 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.
The air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

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 wellas 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 monthto keep it in per fect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section). We 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 theoccupants 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 haveit checked regularly as recommended in the ser vicing booklet.
)
If 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 theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.


The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.




Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintaina comfor table temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivatethe Stop & Start system (see "Driving").

Model with front and rear foglamps

In good or rainy weather, by 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 shouldonly be used in fog or falling snow.
In these weather conditions, you should switch on the foglamps and dippedbeam headlamps manually, as the sunshine sensor may detect sufficientlight.
Do not forget to switch off the front and rear foglamps when they are no longer necessary.
front and rear foglamps
When the headlamps switch o

illumination of headlamps (AUTO model) or
when the dipped beam headlamps are switched
off manuall

When a low level of ambient light is detected by a sunshine sensor, the number plate
lamps, sidelamps and dipped beam headlamps are switched on automatically, without any action on the par t of the driver. They can also come on if rain is detected, at the same time as automatic operation of the windscreen wipers.
As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient level or after the windscreen wipers are switched off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection
System which automatically and continuously checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning
in the event of problem (speed above 12 mph(20 km/h)).

Puncture

The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.


Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp is displayed on the
instrument panel and/or a message appears
in the screen, accompanied by an audible
si
gnal, to identify the wheel concerned.
The STOPwarning lamp comes on and/or this warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen identifying the wheel concerned.
)Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding any sudden movement of the steering
wheel and the brakes.)Repair or change the damaged wheel(punctured or very deflated tyre), and have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as possible.
) Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres
are cold.

177Safety

Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
A message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal, to identify
the wheel or wheels which are not detected or
to indicate a malfunction in the s
ystem.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the
faulty sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to the "Identificationmarkings" section) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performanceof the vehicle is maintained andprevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel. The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electro-magnetic emissions on a frequency close to thatused by the system.

This message is also displayed when one of the wheels is away from the vehicle (being repaired) or when oneor more wheels without a sensor are fitted.
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare wheel, this is not fitted with a sensor.
