A few definitions…
This value may vary following a
change in the style of driving or
the relief, resulting in a signifi -
cant change in the current fuel
consumption.
If dashes are displayed continu-
ously while driving in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. This function is only displayed
from 20 mph (30 km/h).
Range
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
which can still be travelled
with the fuel remaining in the tank in
relation to the average fuel consump-
tion over the last few miles (kilometres)
travelled.
When the range falls below 20 miles
(30 km), dashes are displayed. After
fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the
range is recalculated and is displayed
when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption during the last few
seconds.
Average fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
This is the average fuel con-
sumption since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
This is the average speed calcu-
lated since the last trip computer
zero reset (ignition on).
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
This indicates the distance
travelled since the last trip
computer zero reset.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/
minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start,
a time counter calculates the time spent
in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
The fuel consumption of your
vehicle will be higher than
the offi cial fi gures obtained
by CITROËN during the fi rst
3 000 miles (5 000 km) of the
vehicle's life.

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).

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning system operates
only with the engine running.
Turn the dial to select a
position between blue
(cold) and red (hot) so as
to adjust the temperature
to your requirements.
1. Temperature adjustment This dial is used to increase or
decrease the speed of the air
booster fan.
2. Air fl ow adjustment
3. Air distribution adjustment
Windscreen and side windows.
If you place the air fl ow con-
trol in position 0
, the system
is deactivated. However, a
slight fl ow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle,
can still be felt.
Windscreen, side windows
and footwells.
Footwells.
Central and side vents.
The air distribution can be
adapted by placing the dial in
an intermediate position.
Turn the dial from position 1
to po-
sition 5
to obtain a comfortable air
fl ow. This dial is used to arrange the distri-
bution of air in the passenger compart-
ment by combining several air outlets.
Avoid driving too long with the
ventilation off (risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality).

4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the
formation of mist on the windscreen
and side windows.
5. Air conditioning On / Off
The air conditioning is de-
signed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the win-
dows closed.
It enables you to:
- lower the temperature, in summer,
- increase the effectiveness of the
demisting in winter, above 3 °C.
Switching on
Press the "A/C"
button, the button's
indicator lamp comes on.
Switching off
Press the "A/C"
button again, the
button's indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels
(humidity, condensation).
The recirculation of interior air isolates
the passenger compartment from exte-
rior odours and smoke.
Press the button to recir-
culate the interior air. The
indicator lamp comes on
to confi rm this.
Press the button again to permit the
intake of exterior air. The indicator
lamp goes off to confi rm this.
This function allows hot or cold
air to be delivered selectively
and more quickly.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as
possible to prevent deterioration of the
the air quality and the formation of mist.
The air conditioning does not
operate when the air fl ow adjust-
ment control 2
is in position " 0
".
To obtain cooled air more quick-
ly, you can use recirculation of
interior air for a few moments.
Then return to fresh air intake.

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.

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.

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.
7. Air fl ow adjustment
Turn this control to the left
to decrease the air fl ow or
to the right to increase the
air fl ow.
The air fl ow indicator lamps, between
the two fans, come on progressively in
relation to the value requested.
5. Air conditioning On / Off
Press this button to switch
off the air conditioning.
Switching the system off could result in
discomfort (humidity, condensation).

automatic operation of the air con-
ditioning. The indicator lamp on the
"A/C"
button comes on.
Press one or more but-
tons to direct the air fl ow
towards:
6. Air distribution adjustment
- the windscreen and side windows
(demisting or defrosting),
- the outer and centre air vents,
- the footwells.
You can combine the three orientations
to obtain the desired air distribution.
8. Air intake / Air recirculation
Press this button for recir-
culation of the interior air.
The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.
Air recirculation enables the passenger
compartment to be isolated from exte-
rior odours and smoke.
As soon as possible, press this but-
ton again to permit the intake of out-
side air and prevent the formation of
condensation. The indicator lamp in
the button goes off.

- 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.

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.
