h i n d t h e fl a p s i n t h e b o o t . The water formed by the air conditioning
condensation is discharged via an open-
ing provided for this purpose. 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 have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
THE AIR CONDITIONING
Do not cover the temperature and hu-
midity sensor
2 and the sunshine sen-
sor
7 .
They are required for regulation of the
air conditioning.
Advice on operation
In hot weather, in order to obtain in-
tense ventilation, it is advisable to
use vents 1 and
4 only.
If, when the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long time, the interior
temperature remains very high, do
not hesitate to ventilate the passen-
ger compartment for a few minutes. Switch off the air conditioning when
the climatic conditions permit.
Use of the automatic regulation of the
air conditioning is recommended. It per-
mits automatic and optimised control of
a l l o f t h e f o l l o w i n g f u n c t i o n s : a i r fl o w ,
passenger compartment temperature
and air distribution, by means of vari-
o u s s e n s o r s ( e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e , i n -
terior temperature, sunshine), so pre-
venting the need for you to change your
reference settings other than the value
displayed.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
u s e ( t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m l o a d o n a
steep gradient in hot weather), cutting
off the air conditioning permits recovery
of the engine power and therefore im-
provement of the towing capacity.

If you drive in a dusty environment, re-
place it twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and is not harmful 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.

Head restraint height adjustment Front armrest
Heated seats adjustment
The adjustment is correct when the
top of the head restraint is aligned
with the top of the head of the seated
person. Never drive with the removed
head restraints in the vehicle
as they could be thrown
around the vehicle on sharp braking.
They must be in place and adjusted
correctly.
After installing the head restraint,
check that the height adjustment
button is locked correctly.
You can move the console housing
cover in order to use it as an armrest.
With the
engine running , tilt the button
to the position required.
The temperature of the seat is regulat-
ed automatically.
There are two setting positions:
- “HI”: High heating
- “LO”: Low heating
When the button is in the intermediate
position, the heating is switched off.
The indicator lights A comes on when
the system is activated . To raise the head restraint, pull it
upwards.
To lower the head restraint, push it
downwards pressing the height adjust-
ment button at the same time.
To remove the head restraint, bring it to
the uppermost position then remove it
pressing the height adjustment button
at the same time.

This operates when the ignition switch
is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.

The prolonged use of electri-
cal equipment without running the
engine may discharge the battery. Stowing rings

driving, but this should not en-
c o u r a g e t h e d r i v e r t o t a k e e x t r a r i s k s
or drive at high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITRÖEN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITRÖEN dealer.
Disarming
I n e x c e p t i o n a l c o n d i t i o n s ( s t a r t i n g a v e -
hicle which is bogged down, stuck in
snow, on soft ground, etc.), it may be
advisable to disarm the ASC system,
so that the wheels can move freely and
regain grip.
Press the “ASC OFF” button, locat-
ed to the right of the steering wheel,
until the ASC OFF symbol appears
on the instrument panel display.
The displaying of this symbol in the top
right corner of the instrument panel dis-
play indicates that the ASC and TCL
systems are disarmed. Reactivation
These systems are not reactivated au-
tomatically above 30 mph (50 km/h).
Press the “ASC OFF” button again
to reactivate them manually.
The switching off of the symbol in the
top right corner of the instrument panel
display indicates the reactivation of the
ASC and TCL systems.
Operating fault
The displaying of this mes-
sage on the instrument
panel display indicates a
malfunction of these sys-
tems.
Contact a CITRÖEN dealer to have the
ASC/TCL systems checked.
TRAJECTORY CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Activation
These systems are activated automati-
cally each time the vehicle is started.
They operate when the vehicle speed is
higher than 10 mph (15 km/h).
Anti-skid regulation and
electronic stability programme
The anti-skid regulation optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme acts
on the brake of one or more wheels and
on the engine to keep the vehicle on the
trajectory required by the driver.
They come into operation in
the event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g o f
this symbol on the instrument panel dis-
play.
Associated systems which guarantee
the directional stability of the vehicle
within the limits of the laws of physics:
- the anti-skid regulation (TCL),
- the electronic stability programme (ASC).

CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.

If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the “LOW” and “FULL” marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the ig-
nition off.
