Switching the system off

Avoid prolonged operation in in-
terior air recirculation mode or
driving for long periods with the
system off (risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality).
On stopping the engine



- While the control screens remain
on: the 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.
Locking the vehicle has no effect on
this function.

- The control screens go off at the
end of this period.
Pressing again before the end of
the period interrupts off the ventila-
tion defi nitively: the control screens
go off and the function is no longer
available.


Turn the air fl ow control to
the left until all of the indi-
cator lamps go off.
This action switches off the air condi-
tioning and the ventilation.
Temperature related comfort is no long-
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.

Switching off

The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.



It is possible to stop the demisting/de-
frosting operation before it is switched
off automatically by pressing the button
again. The indicator lamp associated
with the button goes off.



Switch off the demisting/de-
frosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate, as lower current
consumption results in re-
duced fuel consumption.

conditioning

Automatic visibility programme



Select this programme to demist

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.

LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as the
air conditioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.








ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of thirty
minutes.

Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the
vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the navigation
system, it will be interrupted after
10 minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.



In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine
and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the period for which the engine
is left running. However, this period will
always be between fi ve and thirty minutes.

This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.








CHANGING A WIPER BLADE

Before removing a front wiper
blade



Within one minute after switching
off the ignition, operate the wiper
stalk to position the wiper blades
vertically on the windscreen.



Removing




Raise the corresponding wiper arm.


Unclip the wiper blade and remove it.



Fitting




Put the corresponding new wiper
blade in place and clip it.


Fold down the wiper arm carefully.



After fitting a front wiper blade




Switch on the ignition.


Operate the wiper stalk again to
park the wiper blades.

of the storage boxes located above
the heating and air conditioning control
panel.
