Immediate heating
Before switching on the heating, check that:
- the temperature setting control is in the " Hot air " position (red),
- the air flow setting control is in position " 2 ". The " - -:- - " symbol or the
previous stored time and the
number (1, 2 or 3) corresponding
to the recalled pre-selection are
displayed for ten seconds.
Note: if you wish to recall the other pre-
selected times, press the " set " button
repeatedly before the ten seconds have
elapsed.
Press this button.
The screen and the heating cycle
indicator come on and remain
on throughout the duration of
operation.
Deferred heating
Switching on can be programmed between
one minute and twenty-four hours in
advance.
You can store up to three different start
times, but programme one deferred start
only.
Note: if you wish to start the heating at a
fixed time each day, simply reprogramme
the stored time each day.
Press the " set " button, the screen
comes on. Within ten seconds, press the "<
"
or "> " setting button to select the
required start time.
Setting of the stored time is confirmed by
clearing of the start time, displaying of
the pre-selection number (1, 2 or 3) and
illumination of the screen.
By default, pre-selected times are
already memorised in the system
(1 = 6 hours; 2 = 16 hours; 3 = 22 hours).
Any modification cancels and replaces the
previous pre-selected time.
If the battery is disconnected, the default
pre-selected times are restored.
Cancelling the programming
Press the " set " button briefly to
clear the programmed start time.
The screen illumination and the pre-
selection number (1, 2 or 3) go off.
Recalling one of the pre-selected start times
Press the " set " button as many
times as necessary until the
number corresponding to the
required pre-selected start time
(1, 2 or 3) appears.
After ten seconds, the time disappears but
remains stored while the corresponding
number (1, 2 or 3) and the screen remain on.

EASE OF USE and COMFORT
Ventilation
Have the additional heating 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 only genuine replacement parts.
Switching off the heating
In the case of deferred operation, the
heating stops at the end of the programmed
period.
Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating 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.
The additional heating switches off when the
battery voltage is low, so as to allow engine
starting.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion. 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 additional heating is fitted with a
temperature limiter which cuts off the
combustion in the event of overheating due
to a lack of coolant. Check the level and if
necessary top-up following the advice given
in the "Checks - Levels" section. Then press
the programme selection button before
switching the heating on again.
Setting the operating period
The period of operation can be set to
between 10 and 60 minutes.
Press and hold the "set" button.
At the same time press the "<"
or ">" button.
The time and the time setting
indicator come on.
Press and hold the "set" button again.
At the same time press the "<" or ">" button
again.
The programmed operating period is
displayed and the heating or ventilation
cycle indicator flashes.
Adjust the period by pressing the "<" or ">"
button.
The setting is confirmed by the period
disappearing from the screen or by pressing
the "set" button again In the case of immediate
operation, press this button again
to switch off manually.
The heating cycle indicator and the screen
go off.

Ventilation
Two different types of equipment
The additional heating is separate and
programmable. Before you enter the vehicle,
it gradually increases the temperature of the
engine to make starting easier. This also
facilitates passenger compartment heating,
demisting and defrosting.
The additional passenger compartment
heating system supplements the
standard equipment. Its operation may be
independent of the engine. Switching on of
the heating may be programmable.

4. Detachable tow ball.
5. Locking / unlocking wheel.
6. Key lock.
7. Key reference label. A. Locked position; the locking wheel is in
contact with tow ball (no gap).
B. Unlocked position; the locking wheel and tow ball are no longer in contact
(gap of about 5 mm). Before each use
Check that the tow ball is correctly
locked and verify the following points:
- the green mark on the locking wheel is in line with the green mark on the tow
ball,
- the locking wheel is in contact with the tow ball,
- the key lock is on and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
- the tow ball must no longer move at all in its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
During use
Never unlock the device when a trailer or
load carrier is fitted to the tow ball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle plus trailer (Gross
Train Weight - GTW).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving. After use
For journeys made without a trailer or
load carrier, the tow ball must be removed
and the blanking plug inserted in the carrier.
This measure applies particularly if the tow
ball could hinder visibility of the number
