Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
de-icing and demisting of the
windscreen: De-icing the rear screen and mirrors
Only operates when the engine
is running. Pressing this button
activates the rapid demisting-
de-icing of the rear screen and
mirrors.
This function switches off automatically to
prevent excessive energy consumption. It
stops when the engine is switched off but
resumes when the engine is started again.
Pressing this button switches the function off.
- increase the air flow setting,
- move the exterior air intake control temporarily to air
recirculation.
Returning to the exterior air
intake position permits renewal
of the air in the passenger
compartment.
Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness of
the de-icing and demisting. Do not obstruct
these air outlets.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
The air recirculation (which can be activated
by the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, the norm is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period parked
in the sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer.
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete the
equipment.

Recommended settings for the air conditioning
For optimum operation of the system, the settings below are recommended:
Recirculation of interior air
This position should only be
temporary.
Used with the air conditioning
switched on and setting of the
force of blown air (from 1 to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required ambient
air comfort level with both hot or cold
settings.
Recirculation temporarily prevents exterior
odours and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment. If I require...
