Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature
remains very high after
a prolonged period parked in the
sun, fi rst ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.
For an even air distribution, make
sure that you do not block the outside
air inlet grille, the vents, the air
passages and the air outlets to the
footwells.
Ensure that the passenger
compartment fi lter, located below
the windscreen, in the engine
compartment, is in good condition.
Have the fi lter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice as
often.
Operate the air conditioning system
for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month, to keep it in perfect working
order.
In order to ensure that your air
conditioning system continues to
operate correctly, you are advised to
have it checked regularly.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a fl ow of water
under the vehicle when stationary
which is perfectly normal.
If the system does not produce
cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer.

The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine
and does not present any
danger to the ozone layer.

When the ignition is switched on,

comfort.
To maintain a certain level of comfort
in the passenger compartment, avoid
position
0 whenever possible.
In position 0 , a slight fl ow of air, due
to the movement of the vehicle, can
still be felt.

The air conditioning will not operate
if the air fl ow adjustment control 3
is in position 0.

COMFORT Footwells.
4. Air recirculation/Air intake
The recirculation of interior air
(control 4 to the left) enables
you to isolate the passenger
compartment from exterior
odours and smoke. 5. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side
windows.
The air distribution can be
adjusted by placing the
control in an intermediate
position. Windscreen, side windows
and footwells.

side vents.
Diffusion grille and side
vents. 6. Rear screen demisting
As soon as possible, move control 4
to the right to the "Intake of exterior
air" position to avoid the risks of
deterioration of the air quality and
misting of the windscreen and side
windows. The intake of exterior air
(control
4 to the right) enables
you to prevent and eliminate
misting of the windscreen
and side windows. With the engine running,
press button
6 , the indicator
lamp comes on.
The system demists the
rear screen.
It is switched off by pressing control 6 .
In a humid climate, use of the
air recirculation may cause
misting of the windows. Switch the system off as
soon as you consider
this necessary as a lower
consumption of current
reduces fuel consumption.
Demisting and defrosting
To quickly demist or defrost the
windscreen and side windows:
- set the air distribution to "Windscreen and side windows",
- place the temperature control 2
and the air fl ow control 3 at
maximum,
- close the side vents,
- place the air intake control 4 in
the "Air intake" position,
- switch on the air conditioning by pressing button 1 .

SAFETY
AIRBAGS
The airbags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions. They
work in conjunction with the force-
limiting seat belts. The electronic
detectors register and analyse any
abrupt deceleration of the vehicle
in the impact detection zones (see
diagram): if the triggering threshold is
reached, the airbags infl ate instantly
and protect the occupants of the
vehicle.
FRONT AIRBAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in the
fascia for the front passenger. They
are deployed simultaneously, except in
cases where the passenger airbag is
deactivated, in the event of a serious
front impact applied in the impact
zone A in the longitudinal centreline of
the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and
from the front of the vehicle towards
the rear. The airbag infl ates between
the front occupant of the vehicle and
the dashboard to cushion his forward
movement. The airbags therefore limit
the risk of injury to the head and chest.
Front airbag malfunction
Flashing indicates an
airbag malfunction, contact
a CITROËN dealer to have
the system checked. The
airbags may no longer be
triggered in the event of a serious
impact

Note: the gas escaping from
the airbags can be a minor
irritant.
Immediately after the impact, the
air bags defl ate rapidly so that they
do not hinder the visibility of the
occupants nor their exit if necessary
from the vehicle. The air bags are
not deployed in the case of minor
impacts, rear impacts or in certain
roll-over conditions. The seat belt
is suffi cient to ensure maximum
protection in these situations. The
seriousness of a collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of the collision.

Airbags only operate when the
ignition is switched on. When they
are triggered, a noise is heard
during infl ation.
Impact detection zones
A. Front impact zone.

B. Side impact zone.

CHECKS
CHECKS Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly, in accord-
ance with the servicing schedule. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent quality
and specifi cation.
In order to optimise the
operation of units as important as the
braking system, CITROËN selects
and offers specifi c products.
In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, high pressure washing
to clean the engine compartment is
strictly prohibited.
To check the main levels and
certain components, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule, refer to the pages of the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide
which correspond to your vehicle's
engine.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Air filter and passenger
compartment filter
Have the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
If you drive in dusty conditions, change
them twice as often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
Disc and drum wear
For any information relating to disc
and drum surface wear, contact a
CITROEN dealer. Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
It may be necessary to check
the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
If the engine stops, it is
possible to restart it to drive
a short distance by operating
the priming pump at least
10 times.
If you run out of fuel, the circuit must
be reprimed:
- fi ll the fuel tank with at least fi ve litres of diesel,
- squeeze and release the manual priming pump at least 10 times.
This is located under the
protective cover which must fi rst
be unclipped and then removed,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.

Notes: if the engine does
not start after approximately
15 seconds, operate the priming
pump again approximately
fi fteen times before trying again.
If the emission control warning lamp
has come on, it will only switch off
after your vehicle has been used
several times.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is
too great or there is a reduction in
the performance of the system, the
parking brake should be adjusted,
even between services.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
