Manual air conditioning

This air conditioning system optimises the
distribution of the air and its temperatureinside the passenger compartment.

Electronic gearbox

This five-speed electronic gearbox offers achoice between the comfort of automatedoperation or the pleasure of manual gear
changing.


Auxiliary socket for portable equipment

Compatible with many MP3 players, this socket allows you to listen to your favourite
tracks while travelling. Refer to the conditions of use in the "Audio" section.

Eco-driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon.
With the electronic gearbox stay in Easy "E"without pressing the accelerator pedal heavily or suddenly.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, use engine braking rather than the brake pedal, and press the accelerator progressively. These practices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and also helps reduce the
background traffic noise.

Control the use of your electrical equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it byopening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windowsand leave the air vents open. Remember to make use of equipment that canhelp keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down (sun blinds, ...).Switch off the air conditioning as soon as the desired temperature is attained.Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.


Switch off the headlamps and the foglamp whenthe level of light does not require their use.

Avoid running the engine before moving off,particularly in winter; your vehicle will warmup much faster while driving.

As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limitingthe consumption of electrical energy, and soof fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices beforeleaving the vehicle.

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


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.

3. Air fl ow adjustment
When the ignition is switched on, turn the control to obtain a flow of air which is sufficient
to ensure your comfort.
To maintain a certain level of comfort in the
passenger compartment, avoid position 0whenever possible.
In position 0
, a slight flow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle, can still be felt. The air conditionin
g will not operate if the air flow adjustment control 3 is in position 0.
To quickly obtain cooled air, you can use air recirculation for a few moments. Then return to exterior air intake.

4. Air recirculation / Air intake
The recirculation of interior air (control 4to the left) enables you to
isolate the passenger compartment
from exterior odours and smoke.

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 qualit
y and misting of the windscreen and side windows. The intake of exterior air
(control 4
tothe right) enables you to prevent and eliminate misting of the windscreenand side windows. With the en
gine running, pressbutton 6
, the indicator lamp comes on.
The system demists the rear screen.
It is switched off by pressingbutton 6again.


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
flow control 3at maximum,

- close the side vents,

- place the air intake control 4
in th
e "A ir
intake" position,

- sw
itch on the air conditioning by pressing button 1.
Switch the system off as soon as you consider this necessary as a lower consumption of current reduces fuel consumption.

The air distribution can be adjusted by placing the control in an intermediate position.
In a humid climate, use of the air recirculation may cause misting of thewindows.

54Safety











Airbags Front airbags


Front airbag fault

Immediately after the impact, the airbags
deflate 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 cer tain roll-over conditions. The seat belt is sufficient to ensure maximumprotection in these situations. The seriousness
of a collision depends on the nature of the
obstacle and the speed of the vehicle at the
m
oment of the collision.
Airbags only operate when the ignition
is switched on. When they are deployed,
a noise is heard during inflation.
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. Theelectronic detectors register and analyse any abrupt deceleration of the vehicle in the
impact detection zones (see diagram): if the
deployment threshold is reached, the airbags
in
flate instantly and protect the occupants of
the vehicle.

These are
fitted in the centre of the steeringwheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. They are deployed simultaneously, except in cases where thepassenger's airbag is deactivated, in theevent of a serious front impact applied in the
impact zone A
in the longitudinal centreline
of the vehicle, on a horizontal plane and from
th
e front of the vehicle towards the rear. T he
airba
g inflates between the front occupant of
the vehicle and the dashboard to cushion hisfor ward movement. The airbags therefore limit
the risk of injury to the head and chest.

Note:
the gas escaping from the airbags can be a minor irritant.
Flashin
g indicates an airbag fault, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop to have the
system checked. The airbags mayno longer be deployed in the event of a serious impact.
