VENTILATION


1.
Windscreen de-icing or
demisting vents.

2.
Front window de-icing or
demisting vents.

3.
Side vents.

4.
Centre vents.

5.
Air outlets to front footwells. The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not pres-
ent any danger to the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
The water created by the air condi-
tioning condensation is discharged
via an opening provided for this pur-
pose. Therefore, a puddle of water
may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer.

De-icing the rear windows and
mirrors
With the engine running, pressing
the control de-ices the rear windows
and mirrors.
It switches off automatically after ap-
proximately twelve minutes.
Pressing the control again switch-
es the de-icing system on again for
twelve minutes.
It is possible to switch off the de-ic-
ing by pressing the control before the
twelve minutes have elapsed.



Advice on operation

Select the air distribution most suited
to your requirements and the climatic
conditions.
Gradually adjust the temperature
setting for your comfort.
Position the air control in the ''Outside
Air'' position.
For perfectly even air distribution,
take care not to obstruct the exterior
air intake grille and the vents. Check
that the passenger compartment fi l-
ter is in good condition.
When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air, the
ventilation will increase to its opti-
mum level gradually.
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning ( A/C
button), should only be
used with the windows closed.
If the interior temperature remains
very high following a prolonged period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment
for a few minutes.

GENERAL POINTS ON SEATBELTS
CHILD SEAT AT THE FRONT


"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat
, adjust the vehicle's seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger's airbag activated.

Intermediate longitudinal
position
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat
, you must deactivate the pas-
senger's airbag * . Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously
injured or killed if the airbag were
to infl ate
.

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
The procedures for the use of child
seats and deactivation of the pas-
senger's airbag are common to the
entire CITROËN range.
In the absence of passenger airbag
deactivation, it is strictly forbidden to
install a child seat in the "forwards
facing" position on the front passenger
seat.
Although one of CITROËN's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also de-
pends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:


- all children under the age of 12
or less than one metre fi fty tall
must travel in approved child
seats suited to their weight
,
on seats fi tted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings * .

- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position in the front.

SEATS38-


Passenger airbag OFF

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's
front airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position
on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed
if the airbag were deployed.

Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passen-
ger's sun visor.
