DUAL-ZONE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

Automatic operation

We recommend the use of
one of the three AUTO modes
available: they provide opti-
mised regulation of the tem-
perature in the passenger
compartment according to the comfort
value that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically ad-
just the air fl ow, according to the de-
sired setting, while also maintaining the
desired comfort value.


Press the "AUTO"
button repeat-
edly:


- a fi rst indicator lamp comes on; the
"light" setting mode is selected,

- a second indicator lamp comes
on; the "medium" setting mode is
selected,

- a third indicator lamp comes on;
the "intense" mode setting is se-
lected.
The air conditioning system operates when the engine is running. When the engine is cold, the air
fl ow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account
of the weather and the desired
comfort level so as to avoid too
great a distribution of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the in-
terior temperature is much colder
or warmer than the comfort val-
ue, there is no need to change
the value displayed in order to
obtain the comfort required. The
system corrects the difference in
temperature automatically and
as quickly as possible.

1. Automatic comfort programme
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed.

function is available.

- Pressing the REST
button activates
the ventilation for a few minutes.
Activation of the function is con-
fi rmed by the display of two dashes
in the control screens and four air
fl ow level indicator lamps.

- The function can be deactivated and
reactivated if the control screens
are on.

- The screens go off at the end of this
period. Even with the engine is off,
you can operate the ventila-
tion for a few minutes.
For example, while you are
away from the vehicle, the
passengers can still enjoy some air cir-
culation without having the engine run-
ning.
This function is available after switching
on the ignition, as well as after stopping
the engine.
The period that the function is available
depends on the state of charge of the
battery.
You can activate the "REST" func-
tion while the air conditioning control
screens are on.

er assured but a slight fl ow of air, due
to the movement of the vehicle, can still
be felt.



Modify the settings (temperature,
air fl ow or air distribution) or press
the "AUTO"
button to reactivate the
system with the values set before it
was switched off.
This switch does not operate the
air conditioning, only the air fan.
When the "REST" function is ac-
tivated, you cannot modify the
temperature, air fl ow and distri-
bution settings: these are con-
trolled automatically according
to the ambient temperature.
This function is not available in
the STOP mode of Stop & Start.

SAFETY
146
AIRBAGS


System designed to maximise the safe-
ty of the occupants (with the exception
of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of violent collisions. The airbags
supplement the action of the force-limit-
ing seat belts (with the exception of the
centre rear passenger).
If a collision occurs, the electronic de-
tectors record and analyse the front
and side impacts sustained in the im-
pact detection zones:


- in the case of a serious impact, the
airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection
of the occupants of the vehicle (with
the exception of the rear centre pas-
senger); immediately after the im-
pact, the airbags defl ate rapidly so
that they do not hinder visibility or
the exit of the occupants,

- in the case of a minor or rear impact
or in certain roll-over conditions, the
airbags will not be deployed; the
seat belt alone contributes towards
ensuring your protection in these
situations.

The airbags do not operate
when the ignition is switched
off.

This equipment will only deploy
once. If a second impact occurs
(during the same or a subse-
quent accident), the airbag will
not be deployed again.

A.
Front impact zone.

B.
Side impact zone.
Impact detection zones
Deployment of the airbag(s) is
accompanied by a slight emis-
sion of smoke and a noise, due
to the activation of the pyrotech-
nic cartridge incorporated in the
system.
This smoke is not harmful, but
sensitive individuals may experi-
ence slight irritation.
The noise of the detonation may
result in a slight loss of hearing
for a short time.

















Front airbags

System which protects the driver and
front passenger in the event of a seri-
ous front impact in order to limit the risk
of injury to the head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fi tted in the centre
of the steering wheel; the front passen-
ger's airbag is fi tted in the dashboard
above the glove box.

Deployment
The airbags are deployed, except the
passenger's front airbag if it is deactivat-
ed, in the event of a serious front impact
to all or part of the front impact zone A
, in
the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a horizontal plane and directed from
the front to the rear of the vehicle.
The front airbag infl ates between the tho-
rax and head of the front occupant of the
vehicle and the steering wheel, driver's
side, and the dashboard, passenger's
side to cushion their forward movement.

CHECKS







Particle emission filter (Diesel)

The start of saturation of the particle
emissions fi lter is indicated by:


- fi xed illumination of the par-
ticle emissions fi lter warning
lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message
that there is a risk of blockage
of the particle emissions fi lter.






The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specifi c 12 V lead-acid bat-
tery with special technology and specifi -
cation. The involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is essen-
tial when replacing or disconnecting the
battery. On a new vehicle, the fi rst op-
erations of regeneration of the
particle emissions fi lter may be
accompanied by the smell of
"burning", which is perfectly nor-
mal.
Following prolonged operation
of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in excep-
tional circumstances, notice the
emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This
does not affect the behaviour of
the vehicle or the environment. As soon as the traffi c conditions per-
mit, regenerate the fi lter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, refer to
the "Additive level" section.
Unless otherwise indicated, check
these components in accordance with
the maintenance and warranty guide
and according to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.





















Air filter and passenger compartment filter


Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the replacement intervals for
these components.
Depending on the environ-
ment (e.g. dusty atmosphere)
and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace
them twice as often if necessary
.
A clogged passenger compartment fi l-
ter may have an adverse effect on the
performance of the air conditioning sys-
tem and generate undesirable odours.















Oil filter

Replace the oil fi lter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the replacement interval for
this component.













12 V battery


The battery does not require
any maintenance.
However, check that the ter-
minals are clean and correctly
tightened, particularly in sum-
mer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery,
refer to the "12 V battery" section for
details of the precautions to be taken
before disconnecting the battery and
following its reconnection.

Changing a fuse

Before changing a fuse:



the cause of the failure must be
identifi ed and rectifi ed,


all electrical consumers must be
switched off,


the vehicle must be immobilised
with the ignition off,


identify the failed fuse using the ta-
bles and diagrams in the following
pages.
Good

Failed

To replace a fuse, you must:



use the special tweezer to extract
the fuse from its housing and check
the condition of its fi lament.


always replace the failed fuse with
a fuse of the same rating (same col-
our); the use of a fuse of different
rating fuse may cause malfunctions
(risk of fi re).
If the fault recurrs soon after replac-
ing the fuse, have the electrical system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Installing electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical sys-
tem is designed to operate with
standard or optional equipment.
