In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:
F
 
T
o   obtain   an   even   air   distribution,   take   care   not   to   obstruct   the   exterior   air   intake   grilles  
l

ocated   at   the   base   of   the   windscreen,   the   nozzles,   the   vents   and   the   air   outlets,   as   well  
a

s   the   air   extractor   located   in   the   boot.
F
 
D
o   not   cover   the   sunshine   sensor,   located   on   the   dashboard;   this   is   used   for   regulation  
o

f   the   air   conditioning   system.
F
 
O
perate   the   air   conditioning   system   for   at   least   5   to   10   minutes,   once   or   twice   a   month  
t

o   keep   it   in   per fect   working   order.
F
 
E
nsure   that   the   passenger   compartment   filter   is   in   good   condition   and   have   the   filter  
e

lements   replaced   regularly.
 W

e   recommend   the   use   of   a   combined   passenger   compartment   filter.   Thanks   to   its  
s

pecial   active   additive,   it   contributes   to   the   purification   of   the   air   breathed   by   the  
o

ccupants   and   the   cleanliness   of   the   passenger   compartment   (reduction   of   allergic  
s

ymptoms,   bad   odours   and   greasy   deposits).
F
 
T
o   ensure   correct   operation   of   the   air   conditioning   system,   you   are   also   advised   to   have  
i

t   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  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the  i nterior  t emperature  i s  v ery  h igh,  f irst  
v

entilate   the   passenger   compartment   for  
a

  few   moments.
Put
  the   air   flow   control   at   a   setting   high  
e

nough   to   quickly   change   the   air   in   the  
p

assenger
 c
ompartment.
The
  air   conditioning   system   does   not  
c

ontain   chlorine   and   does   not   present  
a

ny   danger   to   the   ozone   layer.
The
  condensation   created   by   the   air  
c

onditioning   results   in   a   discharge  
o

f   water   under   the   vehicle   which   is  
p

er fectly   normal.
When
 
towing
 
the
 
maximum
 
load
 
on
 
a
 
steep
 
gradient
 
in
 
high
 
temperatures,
 
switching
 
off
 
the
 
a

ir
 
conditioning
 
increases
 
the
 
available
 
engine
 
power
 
and
 
so
 
improves
 
the
 
towing
 
ability.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning s ystems   only   work   when   the   engine  
i

s   running.   To   maintain   a   comfortable  
t

emperature   in   the   passenger  
c

ompartment,   you   can   temporarily  
d

eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system   (see  
t

he   corresponding   section).
Comfort

To remove the shelf:
F  u nhook   the   two   cords,
F
 
r
aise   the   shelf   slightly,   then   remove   it.
Rear parcel shelf
There are several options for storing the shelf:
-  e ither   upright   behind   the   front   seats,
-
 
o
r   flat   at   the   base   of   the   boot.It
  can   be   used   to   secure   shopping   bags.
Hook
Storage box
For versions with storage box: it must b
e   in   place   before   loading   the   boot.
F
 
R

emove   the   boot   carpet   for   access   to   the  
s

torage   box.
Depending   on   the   configuration,   it   is   laid   out   for  
s

toring:

Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the cruise   control.
Have
  it   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a

v

ery   rapid   change   in   the   speed   of   your  
v

ehicle.
do n

ot use the cruise control on
slippery
  roads   or   in   heavy   traffic.
On
  a   steep   descent,   the   cruise   control  
w

ill not be able to prevent the vehicle
from
  exceeding   the   programmed   speed.
On
  steep   climbs   or   when   towing,   the  
p

rogrammed   speed   may   not   be   reached  
o

r   maintained.
The
  use   of   mats   not   approved   by  
C

ITROËN   may   inter fere   with   the  
o

peration   of   the   cruise   control.
To
  avoid   any   risk   of   jamming   of   the  
ped

als:
-
 
e
nsure   that   the   mat   is   secured  
c

o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
ever   fit   one   mat   on   top   of   another.
It
 
is
 
possible
 
to
 
exceed
 
the
 
programmed
 
speed
 
t

emporarily
 
by
 
pressing
 
the
 
accelerator
 
pedal.
To
 
return
 
to
 
the
 
programmed
 
speed,
 
simply
 
r

elease
 
the
 
accelerator
 
pedal
 
until
 
the
 
p

rogrammed
 
cruise
 
speed
 
is
 
reached
 
again.
Exceeding the programmed
speed
Once switched on, you can pause the cruise c ontrol   at   any   time   by   pressing   button   4:   the  
s

creen   confirms   the   pause.
Pause
If the programmed speed is exceeded, the   displayed   speed   flashes.
Once
  the   speed   of   the   vehicle   returns  
t

o   the   programmed   speed   setting,   the  
d

isplay   becomes   steady   again.
The cruise control is paused
 m

anually
 o

r   by   pressing   the   brake   or   clutch   pedal  
o

r   if   the   ESP   system   is   invoked   for  
s

afety   reasons.
Driving

107
In bad weather and in winter, ensure that   the   sensors   are   not   covered   by  
r

oad   dirt,   ice   or   snow.
In
  the   event   of   a   fault,   have   the   system  
c

hecked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
If
 
the
 
system
 
is
 
deactivated
 
during
 
a
 
m

anoeuvre,
 
the
 
drive
 
should
 
reactivate
 
i

t
 
to

the
 
measurement. If
  the   lateral   distance   between   your   vehicle
 a
