Recommendations for use
If the interior temperature remains very high after a prolonged period parked in the sun, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a few minutes. For an even air distribution, make sure thatyou do not block the outside air inlet grille, the vents, the air passages and the air outlets to the footwells.Ensure that the passenger compartmentfilter, located below the windscreen, in the engine compartment, is in good condition. Have the filter elements replaced regularly.If you drive in dusty conditions, changethem twice as often.Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keepit in perfect working order. In order to ensure that your air conditioning system continues to operate correctly, youare advised to have it checked regularly.The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a flow of water under the vehicle when stationary which isperfectly normal.If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
