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 well as the air extractor located in the boot.

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


Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.


Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants 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 mainte-
nance and warranty guide.


If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
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.
If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a set-
ting high enough to quickly
change the air in the passenger
compartment.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger to
the ozone layer.

The condensation created by
the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the ve-
hicle which is perfectly normal.



Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is
running. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compart-
ment, you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the
corresponding section).

Windscreen and headlamp
wash


Low screenwash / headlamp wash
fl uid level
On vehicle fi tted with headlamp wash-
ers, the low level of this fl uid is indicat-
ed by gauge in the reservoir fi ller neck
under the bonnet.
Checking and topping up this fl uid can
should be done with the engine off.
The level of this fl uid should be checked
regularly, particularly during winter.
Refer to "Checks - Screenwash / head-
lamp wash level" section for the proce-
dure on checking the level.



Pull the windscreen wiper stalk to-
wards you. The windscreen wash
then the windscreen wipers operate
for a fi xed period.
The headlamp washers only operate
when the dipped or main beam head-
lamps are on

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION
DETECTION

System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as
the vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the
valve of a each tyres (except the spare
wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop
in pressure is detected in one or more
tyres.
The tyre under-infl ation detection sys-
tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not avoid the
need to check the tyre pressures
regularly (including the spare
wheel) and before a long jour-
ney.
Driving with under-infl ated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous con-
ditions (vehicle loaded, high
speed, long journey).

Driving with under-infl ated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehi-
cle can be found on the tyre pres-
sure label (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section).
The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres cold
(vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after driving for less then 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speed).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the val-
ues indicated on the label.

The fl ashing and then fi xed
illumination of the under-infl a-
tion warning lamp accompa-
nied by the illumination of the
"service" warning lamp indi-
cates a fault with the system.

Operating fault

The alert is given by the fi xed il-
lumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal, and depending on equip-
ment, the display of a message.

Under-inflation alert


The alert is maintained until the
tyre or tyres concerned is rein-
fl ated or repaired.

The loss of pressure detected
does not always lead to visible
deformation of the tyre. Do not
rely on just a visual check.

This alert is also displayed when
one or more wheels is not fi tted
with a sensor.
In the event of a problem on one of
the tyres, the symbol or the message
appears, according to equipment, to
identify it.


Reduce speed, avoid sudden steer-
ing movements or harsh brake ap-
plications.


Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.


In the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equip-
ment),
or


if you have a compressor, the one in
the temporary puncture repair kit for
example, check the four tyre pres-
sures when cold,
or


if it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive care-
fully at reduced speed. In this case, monitoring of the tyre pres-
sures is not assured.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
SYSTEM
The lane departure warning sys-
tem cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance and
responsibility on the part of the
driver.

Activation




Press this button, the indicator lamp
comes on.



Deactivation




Press this button again, the indicator
lamp goes off.
The status of the system remains in the
memory when the ignition is switched off.


Detection

You are warned by the vibration of the
driver's seat cushion:


- on the right-hand side, if the mark-
ing on the ground has been crossed
on the right,

- on the left-hand side, if the marking
on the ground has been crossed on
the left.
No warning is transmitted while the
direction indicator is active and for ap-
proximately 20 seconds after the direc-
tion indicator is switched off.
A warning may be transmitted if a direc-
tion marking (e.g. arrow) or non-standard
marking (e.g. graffi ti) is crossed.


Operating fault


The detection may be impeded:


- if the sensors are dirty (mud,
snow...),

- if the markings on the ground
are worn,

- if there is little contrast be-
tween the markings on the
ground and the road surface.

System which detects the involuntary
crossing of longitudinal traffi c lane mark-
ings on the ground (solid or broken line).
Sensors, fi tted below the front bumper,
trigger a warning if the vehicle drifts
over a lane marking (speed higher than
50 mph (80 km/h)).
This system is particularly useful on
motorways and main roads. In the event of a malfunction,
the service warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
