boot.
F
Â
Do
Â
not
Â
cover
Â
the
Â
sunshine
Â
sensor
, Â
located
Â
on
Â
the
Â
dashboard;
Â
this
Â
is
Â
used
 for  regulation  of  the  air  conditioning  system.
F
Â
Operate
Â
the
Â
air
Â
conditioning
Â
system
Â
for
Â
at
Â
least
Â
5
Â
to
Â
10
Â
minutes,
Â
once
Â
or
Â
twice
 a  month  to  keep  it  in  perfect  working  order.
F
Â
Ensure
Â
that
Â
the
Â
passenger
Â
compartment
Â
filter
Â
is
Â
in
Â
good
Â
condition
Â
and
Â
have
 the  filter  elements  replaced  regularly.
  W
e Â
recommend
Â
the
Â
use
Â
of
Â
a
Â
combined
Â
passenger
Â
compartment
Â
filter
. Â
Thanks
Â
to
Â
its
Â
special
Â
active
Â
additive,
Â
it
Â
contributes
Â
to
Â
the
Â
purification
Â
of
Â
the
Â
air
Â
breathed
Â
by
Â
the
Â
occupants
Â
and
Â
the
Â
cleanliness
Â
of
Â
the
Â
passenger
Â
compartment
Â
(reduction
Â
of
Â
allergic
Â
symptoms,
Â
bad
Â
odours
Â
and
Â
greasy
Â
deposits).
F
Â
T
o Â
ensure
Â
correct
Â
operation
Â
of
Â
the
Â
air
Â
conditioning
Â
system,
Â
you
Â
are
Â
also
Â
advised
Â
to
Â
have
Â
it
Â
checked
Â
regularly
Â
as
Â
recommended
Â
in
Â
the
Â
mainte
-
nance
 and  warranty  guide.
F
Â
If
Â
the
Â
system
Â
does
Â
not
Â
produce
Â
cold
Â
air
, Â
switch
Â
it
Â
of
f Â
and
Â
contact
Â
a
Â
CITROËN
 dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop.
When
Â
towing
Â
the
Â
maximum
Â
load
Â
on
Â
a
Â
steep
Â
gradient
Â
in
Â
high
Â
temperatures,
Â
switching
Â
of
f Â
the
Â
air
Â
conditioning
Â
increases
Â
the
Â
available
Â
engine
Â
power
Â
and
Â
so
 improves  the  towing  ability. If
Â
after
Â
an
Â
extended
Â
stop
Â
in
Â
sun
-
shine, Â
the
Â
interior
Â
temperature
Â
is
 very
 high,  first  ventilate  the  pas -
senger  compartment  for  a  few  moments.
Put

compartment.
The
Â
air

contain
Â
chlorine
Â
and
Â
does

to
Â
the
 ozone  layer.
The
Â
condensation
Â
created
Â
by

Â
results
Â
in
Â
a
Â
discharge
Â
of

water
Â
under

-
hicle
 which  is  perfectly  normal.
Stop & Start
The
Â
heating
Â

Â
systems
Â
only
Â
work
Â
when
Â
the
