VENTILATION
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger com-
partment is fi ltered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:
- direct arrival in the passenger com-
partment (air intake),
- passage through a heating circuit
(heating),
- passage through a cooling circuit
(air conditioning).
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A
on the centre
console.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING
In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior
air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the
vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is
used for regulation of the air conditioning system.
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or
twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.
Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and
have the fi lter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.
Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes to the purifi cation of
the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as recommended in the mainte-
nance and warranty guide.
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power and
so improves the towing ability.
If after an extended stop in sun-
shine, the interior temperature is
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few
moments.
Put the air fl ow control at a set-
ting high enough to quickly
change the air in the passenger
compartment.
The air conditioning system
does not contain chlorine and
does not present any danger to
the ozone layer.
The condensation created by
the air conditioning results in a
discharge of water under the ve-
hicle which is perfectly normal.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is
running. To maintain a comfortable temperature in the passenger compart-
ment, you can temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start system (see the
corresponding section).

For maximum cooling or heating
of the passenger compartment,
it is possible to exceed the mini-
mum value 14 or the maximum
value 28.
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left
until "LO"
is displayed or
to the right until "HI"
is dis-
played.
See "Front demisting - defrosting".
4. Automatic visibility programme
Manual operation
If you wish, you can make a different
choice from that offered by the system
by changing a setting. The the "AUTO"
indicator lamps go off; the other func-
tions will still be controlled automati-
cally.
Pressing the "AUTO"
button returns
the system to completely automatic
operation.
2. Driver's side adjustment
The driver and front pas-
senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require-
ments.
Turn control 2
or 3
to the left or to
the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.
A setting around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However, depend-
ing on your requirements, a setting be-
tween 18 and 24 is normal.
You are advised to avoid a left / right
setting difference of more than 3.
3. Passenger's side adjustment
The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
With Stop & Start, when dem-
isting has been activated, the
STOP mode is not available.

Additional adjustments
Head restraint height and angle
To raise a head restraint, pull it up-
wards.
To lower the head restraint, press
the lug A
and the head restraint at
the same time.
To adjust the angle of the head re-
straint, tilt its lower part forwards or
rearwards.
The head restraint is fi tted with
a frame with notches which pre-
vents it from lowering; this is a
safety device in case of impact.
The adjustment is correct
when the upper edge of the
head restraint is level with the
top of the head.
With the engine running, the front seats
can be heated separately.
Use the adjustment dial, placed on
the side of each front seat, to switch
on and select the level of heating re-
quired:
0:
Off.
1
:
Low.
2
:
Medium.
3
:
High.
Heated seats control
Removing a head restraint
To remove the head restraint, press
the lug A
and pull the head restraint
upwards.
To put the head restraint back in
place, engage the head restraint
stems in the openings keeping them
in line with the seat back and press
the lug A
at the same time.
Never drive with the head re-
straints removed; they must be
in place and adjusted correctly.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TOWING A TRAILER
We recommend the use of genu-
ine CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested
and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that
the fi tting of the towbar is en-
trusted to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine CITROËN towbar is
used.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
with additional lighting and signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

AUDIO PRE-EQUIPMENT
Your vehicle is equipped with certain
factory-fi tted audio equipment:
- a dual-function aerial at the rear of
the roof,
- a coaxial aerial cable,
- basic interference suppression,
- cabling for speakers in the front doors
and tweeters in the dashboard,
- cabling for speakers in the rear
doors,
- two 8-way connectors.
Before installing a radio unit or
speakers in your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to obtain a suitable
wiring harness.
Never use a separate wire to
connect the (+) of your audio
equipment (risk of discharging of
the battery).
Fitting an audio unit
The audio unit is fi tted in place of one
of the storage boxes located above
the heating and air conditioning control
panel.
Unclip the storage box on each side
using a screwdriver and pull out.
You will then have access to an aerial
coaxial cable and two 8-way connectors.
Then refer to the instructions provided
with your audio unit.
Fitting speakers
It is possible to fi t:
- 165 mm diameter speakers in the
front doors,
- 130 mm diameter speakers in the
rear doors,
- 22.5 mm diameter tweeters in the
top of the dashboard.
