pre-heating fixed.
When the ignition is switched on
with a key in the ignition switch or a
starting instruction made using the

temperature makes engine pre-
heating necessary. The period of illumination of the indicator lamp is
determined by the ambient conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in severe winter conditions).
With an ignition switch and key, wait until the indicator
lamp goes off before starting.
With Keyless Entry and Starting, once it goes off,
starting is immediate, on condition that the brake
pedal remains pressed with an automatic gearbox, or
the clutch pedal is pressed fully down with a manual
gearbox.
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the indicator lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.

Heated seats
F With the engine running, use the control wheel to switch on and select the level of
heating required:
0: Off.
1 : Low.
2 : Medium.
3 : High. Do not use the function if the seat is not
occupied.
Reduce the level of heating as soon as
possible.
Once the seat and passenger
compartment are at a comfortable
temperature, you can switch off the
function; reducing electric current
consumption also reduces fuel
consumption.
Prolonged use at the highest setting
is not recommended for those with
sensitive skin.
There is a risk of burns for those that
do not have normal perception of heat
(illness, taking medicines, ...).
There is a risk of overheating the
system if material with insulating
properties is used, such as cushions or
seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-
i f wearing damp clothing,
-

i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element
in the seat:
-

d
o not place heavy objects on the
seat,
-

d

seat,
-

d
o not spill liquids onto the seat.
To avoid the risk of short-circuit:
-

d

Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the outside via
the grille located at the base of the windscreen or
from the inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger
compartment (air intake),
-

p
assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-

p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine is
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
