91Comfort
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 perfect 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.
You can switch off the air conditioning (AC button) and stay in Automatic mode in order to limit fuel consumption. If misting appears while in this mode, you can switch the air conditioning back on temporarily to improve the situation.
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


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, firstventilate the passenger compar tment 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.


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



If you want to prioritise heating, star tand leave the engine running bypressing ECO OFF.

Dual-zone digital air conditioning
1. Automatic comfort programme

We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passen
ger compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically control the system, according to the desired setting, while also maintaining the desired comfort value.
) Press the "AUTO"
button repeatedly:


- a first indicator lamp comes on; the "low"setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes on; the
"medium" setting mode is selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on; the
"hi
gh" mode setting is selected.

Use the "medium" and "high" settings in
preference to maintain the comfort level at the
rear.

When the engine is cold, the air flow will reach its optimum levelprogressively, taking account of the
weather and the desired comfort levelso as to avoid too great a distributionof cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior temperature is much colder or warmer than the comfort value, there is noneed to change the value displayed in order to obtain the comfort required. Inall seasons, with the windows closed the system corrects the differencein temperature automatically and asquickly as possible.
This s
ystem is designed to operate effectivelyin all seasons, with the windows closed.
Automatic operation

) Switch off the demisting/defrosting
of the rear screen and door mirrorsas soon as appropriate, as lower current consumption results inreduced fuel consumption.
