Driver or passenger side comfort value
The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort and not a
temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Automatic operation
Do not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the windscreen behind the
mirror, it is used for regulation of the air
conditioning.

AUTO comfort programme
This is the normal air conditioning system
operating mode.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
Depending on the comfort value
selected, the system controls the
distribution, the fl ow and the intake of air to
guarantee comfort and a suffi cient circulation
of air in the passenger compartment. No
further action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the ventilation
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle is
started, if the temperature in the passenger
compartment has not changed signifi cantly;
otherwise, operation resumes in automatic
mode. Turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value. A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort.
However, depending on your requirements,
a setting between 18 and 24 is usual.

condensation, odour and humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the
intake of exterior air.
Air distribution

CORRECT USE OF THE VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING
Vents


"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are adjustable central and side vents
which can be directed sideways (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.


Passenger compartment filter, carbon filter

Ensure that this fi lter is in good condition and
have all of the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.
Air conditioning

In all seasons, 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, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes. Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised control
of all of the functions: air flow, passenger
compartment comfort temperature,
air distribution, air intake mode or air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in perfect working order.
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 or
a qualified workshop.

Ventilation
Press the air conditioning button.


Manual mode

DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING

Returning to exterior air intake
open permits renewal of the air
in the passenger compartment
(LED off). Turn the control to this air
distribution setting.

Pressing this button, with the engine
running, activates the rapid demisting -
defrosting of the rear screen and/or electric
mirrors.
This function switches off:


- when the button is pressed,

- when the engine is switched off,

- automatically to prevent excessive
energy consumption.



Demisting the rear screen and/or mirrors



Automatic air conditioning: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may not
be sufficient to quickly demist or defrost the
windows (humidity, several passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility programme.
The visibility programme indicator lamp
comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
flow, the defrosting of the rear screen
and provides optimum distribution of the
ventilation to the windscreen and side
windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

64
Ventilation
REAR VENTILATION

If your vehicle is fitted with an additional air
conditioning unit, located in the rear of the
vehicle. The distribution duct located in the
roof and the 6 individual vents provide a
perfect air distribution.
The warm air diffused at the floor, from the
front heating and air conditioning unit, is
distributed at the feet of the rear passengers
of the 2nd row.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the
specifi c unit, completes the installation for the
feet of the rear passengers of the 3rd row.

Temperature adjustment

Control positioned:


- on the blue, produces cool air,

- on the red, produces heating.


Activation/Deactivation
Air flow

The fan speed for the air via the
vents, varies from 1 to the fastest 4.
To obtain the desired comfort
level, remember to adjust this
control.
To stop the fan, place the control in position 0. This button, located on the
overhead storage unit, enables
you to activate or deactivate the
operation of the rear controls from
the driver's seat or the front passenger seat.
The first press activates (green LED on).
A second press deactivates (LED off).

ADDITIONAL HEATING
Vehicles fitted with an HDi engine may be
fitted with a heater. When the engine is at
idle or the vehicle is stationary, it is normal
to notice a high-pitched whistling noise and
a slight emission of smoke and odour.



Rear ventilation


Coolant circuit heater
This is an additional and separate system
which heats the Diesel engine cooling
system to make starting easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance.

66
Ventilation
Have the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Use recommended
replacement parts only.


Good practice

To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the low fuel warning lamp
is not on.
