COMFORT
The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the g uidelines on opera-
tion and maintenance below:
If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been

P l a c e t h e a i r fl o w c o n t r o l a t a s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l t o p r o v i d e a n a d e q u a t e r e n e w a l
of air in the passenger compartment.
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obst ruct the exterior air
intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the n ozzles, the vents
and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the passenger
compartment on both sides of the rear shelf.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind the
instrument panel); this is used for regulation of t he air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, on ce or twice a
month to keep it in good working order.

of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passen-
ger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and grea sy
deposits).
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly.
If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a
CITROËN dealer.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing
capacity.
The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.
