Lighting is associated
with the displaying of
another warning light:
Service If this comes on, it indi-
cates the occurrence of
a problem in one of the
systems which does
not have a specifi c
warning light.
In order to identify it, consult the mes-
sage on the multifunction display.
The warning light only comes on
temporarily in the case of the follow-
ing minor faults:
- incorrect closing of the doors, boot, rear screen and bonnet,
- fl at remote control battery,
- incorrect tyre pressure,
- the end of saturation of the particle emission fi lter (Diesel).
In the case of major faults, the
warning light remains on until the
operating fault is rectifi ed, contact a
CITROËN dealer as soon as possible. Braking
If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
one of the braking systems:
- signifi cant drop in the level in the circuit,
- electronic brake force distribu- tion (EBFD) faulty (simultaneous
lighting of the ABS warning light),
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

Application/Release of the
automatic electronic parking
brake
If this warning lamp comes
on permanently, it is confi rm-
ing that the parking brake is

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 win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
air the passenger compartment by
opening the windows for a few mo-
ments, 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
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed in ac-
cordance with the vehicle mainte-
nance schedule (see "Maintenance
Guide").
Air circulation
Air vents on the fl oor underneath the
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.
Air vents
The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction (up-down, right-
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning, inside the cabin, uses
a number of sensors (sunlight sen-
sor, outside temperature sensor...)
that relieve you of the need to make
frequent adjustments outside the
displayed temperature.
Be careful not to obstruct the sun-
light sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.
