Air conditioning
To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended to have
it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To keep the air conditioning com-
pressor well sealed, it is essential to
operate the air conditioning at least
once in every month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
ventilate the passenger compartment
by opening the windows for a few
moments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by using
power from the engine. This results in
a slight increase in fuel consumption.
Dust filter/Odour filter

and dust.
T h i s fi l t e r h a s t o b e c h a n g e d i n a c -
cordance with the vehicle servicing
schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained when
there is a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
F o r o p t i m u m o p e r a t i n g e f fi c i e n c y ,
take care not to obstruct the air out-
lets under the front seats.
Air vents
The face-level air vents have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl o w a n d d i r e c t i o n ( u p - d o w n , r i g h t -
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
the sunshine sensor located on the
dashboard behind the instrument
panel.
Be careful not to obstruct it.

Refuelling
A l a b e l o n t h e i n s i d e o f t h e fl a p r e -
minds you of the type of fuel to be
used for your engine.
More than 5 litres of fuel must be
added in order to be registered by
the fuel gauge.
The key cannot be removed from
the lock until the cap is put back on
the tank.
Opening the cap may cause an in-
rush of air. This vacuum, which is
perfectly normal, is caused by the
sealing of the fuel system. P e t r o l v e h i c l e s : t h e fi l l e r n e c k h a s a
n a r r o w e r o r i fi c e t o a d m i t o n l y p e t r o l
fi l l e r n o z z l e s .
Capacity of the tank: approximately
60 litres.
Low fuel level When the minimum level
in the fuel tank is reached,
this warning lamp in the in-
strument panel comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
s c r e e n . W h e n i t fi r s t c o m e s o n , y o u
have approximately 6 litres of fuel
remaining in the tank.
You must refuel to avoid running out
of fuel.
If you run out of fuel (Diesel), refer to
the "Checks" section also.
Fuel cut-off switch
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety
device which cuts off the fuel supply in
the event of a collision. T o fi l l t h e t a n k s a f e l y :
you
must
switch off the engine,
o p e n t h e f u e l fi l l e r fl a p ,
insert the key in the fuel tank cap
then turn it to the left,
fi l l t h e t a n k , b u t do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle ;
this could cause malfunctions.
When the tank is full:
put the cap back in place,
turn the key to the right, then re-
move it from the cap,

Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are perfectly
compatible with E10 type petrol
biofuels (containing 10 % ethanol),
conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 %
ethanol) are reserved exclusively for
vehicles marketed for the use of this
type of fuel (BioFlex vehicles). The
quality of the ethanol must comply
with European standard EN 15293.
F o r B r a z i l o n l y , s p e c i a l v e h i c l e s a r e
marketed to run on fuels containing
up to 100 % ethanol (E100 type). Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are perfectly
compatible with biofuels which con-
form to current and future European
standards (Diesel fuel which com-
plies with standard EN 590 mixed
with a biofuel which complies with
standard EN 14214) available at the
pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty
Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in cer-
tain Diesel engines; however, this
use is subject to strict application
of the special servicing conditions.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of
(bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils,
pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is
strictly prohibited (risk of damage to
the engine and fuel system). Special features of BioFlex
engines
A BioFlex vehicle has been designed
to run on unleaded petrol (RON 95
or RON 98) or ethanol (this is a mix-
ture containing 85 % ethanol and
15 % unleaded petrol, called E85).
So, regardless of the quantity of fuel
remaining in your tank and irrespec-
tive of its type (RON 95/RON 98,
E85 or a mixture of the two), you
c a n fi l l y o u r t a n k a t a n y t i m e w i t h u n -
leaded petrol (RON 95 or RON 98)
or ethanol (E85).
There is no problem driving on un-
leaded petrol only with this vehicle.
In winter conditions, starting the
engine from cold may sometimes
p r o v e d i f fi c u l t . D u r i n g t h e s e v e r y
cold periods you are advised to
use unleaded petrol rather than
E85 to ensure optimum starting
conditions.

Temporary manual operation
when in automatic mode
By pulling either of the " + " or " - " pad-
dles, you can exercise temporary
control over gear changing.
The request to change gear will be
taken into account. You will still be in
automatic mode. The warning lamp A
remains lit up in the instrument panel.
This function enables you to antici-
pate certain situations such as the
approach of a bend or the need to
overtake another vehicle.
Move the selector to position A .
The warning lamp A lights up in
t h e i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l t o c o n fi r m
the selection.
The gearbox then functions in auto-
matic mode, without any action on
your part.
It constantly selects the gear that is
best suited to the following condi-
tions:
- driving style,
- r o a d p r o fi l e ,
- optimum fuel consumption.
Operation in automatic mode
Cancellation of automatic
mode
The change from position A (driving in
automatic mode) to position M (driv-
ing in manual mode) or vice versa can
be made at any time. The warning
lamp A disappears in the instrument
panel.
