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.

cordance with the vehicle's servic-
ing schedule (see "Maintenance and
Warranty Guide").
Air circulation
A i r v e n t s o n t h e fl o o r u n d e r n e a t h t h e
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 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
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.

TRAJECTORY CONTROL SYSTEMS
Anti-skid regulation (ASR) and
electronic stability programme
(ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known
as Traction Control) optimises trac-
tion to prevent skidding of the wheels,
by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine.
The electronic stability programme
acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to keep
the vehicle on the trajectory required
by the driver.
Activation
These systems are activated auto-
matically each time the vehicle is
started.
They come into operation in the event
of a grip or trajectory problem. T h i s i s i n d i c a t e d b y fl a s h i n g
of this warning lamp on the
instrument panel. Deactivation
I n e x c e p t i o n a l c o n d i t i o n s ( s t a r t i n g a
vehicle which is bogged down, stuck
in snow, on soft ground...), it may be
advisable to deactivate the ASR and
ESP systems, so that the wheels
can move freely and regain grip.
Press the "ESP OFF" button,
located in the centre of the dash-
board. Reactivation
These systems are reactivated au-
tomatically each time the ignition is
switched back on or from 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Press the "ESP OFF" button again
to reactivate them manually.
If this warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel
and the indicator lamp on the
button comes on, this indi-
cates that the ASR and ESP
systems are deactivated. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by an au-
dible signal and a message
on the multifunction screen,
this indicates a malfunction of these
systems.
Have the systems checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
T h e E S P / A S R s y s t e m s o f f e r e x -
ceptional safety in normal driving,
but this should not encourage the
d r i v e r t o t a k e e x t r a r i s k s o r d r i v e a t
high speed.
The correct functioning of these
systems depends on observation
of the manufacturer's recommen-
dations regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and the
CITROËN assembly and operation
procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE
The electric parking brake operates
as follows
- Automatic application/release

With the vehicle stationary, to apply
the parking brake whether the engine
is running or off,
pull on control A . Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine
running, to release the parking
brake, press on the brake pedal, or
the accelerator,
pull then release
control A .
-
the extinction of the warn- ing lamp P on control A and
on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message "park- ing brake released" on the multi-
function screen.
If you pull control A without pressing
the brake pedal, the parking brake
will not be released and the "Foot on
brake" warning lamp will light up on
the instrument panel.
The application of the parking brake
i s c o n fi r m e d b y :
- the lighting of the warning lamp P on control A and
on the instrument panel,
- the display of a message "park- ing brake applied" on the multi-
function screen.
When the driver’s door is

Maximum application
If necessary, you can utilise
maxi-
mum application of the parking
brake. It is obtained by means of
a long pull on control A , until you
see the message "parking brake ap-
plied" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
- in the case of a vehicle towing a caravan or a trailer, if the au-
tomatic functions are activated
but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
- when the gradient you are parked on is variable in its effect (e.g. on
a ferry, in a lorry, during towing),
- in the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or parking on a gradient,
turn the front wheels towards the
pavement and engage a gear
when you park,
- after a maximum application, the release time will be longer.
Before leaving the vehicle,
check that warning lamp P
on the instrument panel is
permanently lit.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
