Interior mood lighting

This subdued passenger compar tment lighting
improves visibilit
y inside the vehicle in low
lighting conditions. It comprises several lamps,
located in the automatic day/night mirror support and in the lower dashboard storagecompartment.

Gear effi ciency indicator

Depending on the driving conditions and your style of driving, this system may suggest when
to change up to reduce your fuel consumption.

Scented air freshener

The scented air freshener diffuses the
selected fragrance throughout the passenger compartment from its location in the ventilation system.


Digital air conditioning
After setting the desired level of comfor t, the system then automatically controls this level
according to the ambient conditions.

Eco-driving Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently, change up without waiting and drive by changing up quite soon. If your vehicle has the system, the gear efficiency indicator invites you to change up; it is displayed in theinstrument panel, follow its instructions.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox, stay in Drive "D"
or Auto "A",according to the type of gearbox, 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. Thesepractices contribute towards a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2emissions and also helps reduce the background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of the system at speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffic is flowing well.


Control the use of your electrical
equipment


Before moving off, if the passenger compartment is too warm, ventilate it by opening the windows and air vents before using the air conditioning.

Above 30 mph (50 km/h), close the windows and leave the air vents open.
Remember to make use of equipment that can help keep the temperaturein the passenger compar tment down (sunroof and window blinds...). Switch off the air conditioning, unless it has automatic digital regulation, as soon as the desired temperature is attained.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting controls, if not automatic.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as possible.

Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps when the level of light does not require their use.


Avoid running the engine before moving off, par ticularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up much faster while driving.


As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your multimedia devices (film, music, video game...), you will contribute towards limiting theconsumption of electrical energy, and so of fuel.
Disconnect your por table devices before leaving the vehicle.

Vent ilat ion
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 thedriver:
- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit (heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).
The temperature control enables you to obtain
the level of comfor t required by mixing the air of
the various circuits.
The air distribution control enables you to
diffuse the air in the passenger compar tment combining several air vents.
The air flow control enables you to increase or reduce the speed of the ventilation blower.


Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel
Aon the centre console. Depending on the model, the functionsoffered are:


- the level of comfor t required,

- air flow
,

- air distribution,

- demisting-defrosting,

- manual or digital air conditioning controls.

If after an extended stop in sunshine, the interior temperature is veryhigh, 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 air conditioning system does notcontain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer.

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a dischargeof water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.












Recommendations for ventilation and
air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below: )
To 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 wellas the air extractor located in the boot. )
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the digital air conditioning system. )
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a monthto keep it in perfect working order. )
Ensure that the passenger compar tment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly. We 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 theoccupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).)
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the MAINTENANCE AND WARR ANT Y
GUIDE. )
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off theair conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.

If you place the air flow control in position 0
(deactivation of the system), the temperature is nolonger maintained at a comfor table level. However, a slight flow of air,
due to the movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.

3. Air distribution adjustment
The intake of exterior air avoids the formation of
mist on the windscreen and side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates thepassenger compartment from exterior odours
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible
to prevent deterioration of the air quality and
the formation of mist. Win
