DEFROSTING

Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.


Optimise the use of your
gearbox

With a manual gearbox, move off gen-
tly and change up without waiting.
During acceleration change up early.

With an automatic or electronic gear-
box, give preference to automatic mode
and avoid pressing the accelerator
pedal heavily or suddenly.


Drive smoothly


Maintain a safe distance between ve-
hicles, use engine braking rather than
the brake pedal, and press the accel-
erator progressively. These practices
contribute towards a reduction in fuel
consumption and CO
2 emissions and
also helps reduce the background traf-
fi c noise.

If your vehicle has cruise control, make
use of the system at speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h) when the traffi c is
fl owing 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 temperature
in the passenger compartment down
(sunroof and window blinds...).
Switch off the air conditioning, unless
it has automatic 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.
















































ECO-DRIVING


The gear shift indicator invites you to
change up: as soon as the indication
to change up is displayed in the instru-
ment panel, follow it straight away.
With an electronic or automatic gear-
box, this indicator appears only in
manual mode.

VENTILATION

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered 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:


- direct arrival in the passenger com-
partment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit
(heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit
(air conditioning).



Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A
on the centre
console.

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).

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING











The air conditioning system operates
only with the engine running.



Turn the dial to select a
position between blue
(cold) and red (hot) so as
to adjust the temperature
to your requirements.

1. Temperature adjustment This dial is used to increase or
decrease the speed of the air
booster fan.
2. Air fl ow adjustment
3. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side windows.


If you place the air fl ow con-
trol in position 0
, the system
is deactivated. However, a
slight fl ow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle,
can still be felt.
Windscreen, side windows
and footwells.
Footwells.
Central and side vents.
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial in
an intermediate position.


Turn the dial from position 1
to po-
sition 5
to obtain a comfortable air
fl ow. This dial is used to arrange the distri-
bution of air in the passenger compart-
ment by combining several air outlets.

Avoid driving too long with the
ventilation off (risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality).

4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the
formation of mist on the windscreen
and side windows.

5. Air conditioning On / Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed.
It enables you to:


- lower the temperature, in summer,

- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting in winter, above 3 °C.


Switching on



Press the "A/C"
button, the button's
indicator lamp comes on.

Switching off



Press the "A/C"
button again, the
button's indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).
The recirculation of interior air isolates
the passenger compartment from exte-
rior odours and smoke.



Press the button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
indicator lamp comes on
to confi rm this.


Press the button again to permit the
intake of exterior air. The indicator
lamp goes off to confi rm this.

This function allows hot or cold
air to be delivered selectively
and more quickly.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as
possible to prevent deterioration of the
the air quality and the formation of mist.
The air conditioning does not
operate when the air fl ow adjust-
ment control 2
is in position " 0
".
To obtain cooled air more quick-
ly, you can use recirculation of
interior air for a few moments.
Then return to fresh air intake.
