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   that   you   do   not   block   the   outside   air   inlet   grille,   the  
v

ents,   the   air   passages   and   the   air   outlets   to   the   footwells.
Ensure
  that   the   passenger   compartment   filter,   located   behind   the   glove   box   in   the   heater  
u

nit,   is   in   good   condition.   Have   the   filter   elements   replaced   regularly.   If   you   drive   in   dusty  
c

onditions,   change   them   twice   as   often.
Operate
  the   air   conditioning   system   for   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month,   to   keep   it   in  
p

er fect   working   order.
In
  order   to   ensure   that   your   air   conditioning   system   continues   to   operate   correctly,   you   are  
a

dvised   to   have   it   checked   regularly.
If
  the   system   does   not   produce   cold   air,   do   not   use   it   and   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not   contain   chlorine   and   does   not   present   any   danger   to  
t

he   ozone   layer.
The
  condensation   created   by   the   air   conditioning   results   in   a   flow   of   water   under   the   vehicle  
w

hen   stationary   which   is   per fectly   normal.
