A child sur veillance mirror is installed above the
interior mirror. This allows you to keep watch
over the passengers in the back of the vehicle
and facilitates discussion between passengers
in the front and the back without needing to
adjust the mirror and without turning around. It
can be easily folded to avoid dazzle.
Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered 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:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger compartment
(air intake),
-
p

assage through a

heating circuit (heating),
-

p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
Control panel
The controls of this system are accessible in the
Air conditioning menu of the touch screen A .
The demisting/defrosting controls for the
windscreen and rear screen are located to the
left of the touch screen.
Air distribution
1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents. 2.
Front quarter window demisting/defrosting
vents.
3. Front side window demisting/defrosting
vents.
Adjustable and closable side air vents.
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.
6. Side vents of the 2
nd row.
7. Air outlets to the rear footwells of the
second row.
8. Sunshine sensor.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor in the boot free from
obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes once or twice
a
month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We
recommend the use of a
combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of
the passenger compartment (reduction
of allergic symptoms, bad odours and
greasy deposits). If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high,
first air the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put the air flow control at a
setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a
comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
F

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide.
F

I

f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a

CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified 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.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d

o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-

d

o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.

Deployment
* For more information on Deactivating the front passenger airbag , refer to the
corresponding section. The front airbag inflates between the thorax
and head of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the steering wheel, driver's side, and the
dashboard, passenger's side, to cushion their
for ward movement.
Lateral airbags
Deployment
Front airbags
System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a
serious front
impact, in order to limit the risk of injury to the
head and thorax.
The driver's airbag is fitted in the centre of the
steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
fitted in the dashboard above the glove box.
The airbags are deployed, except the front
passenger airbag if it is deactivated*, in the
event of a
serious front impact to all or part
of the front impact zone A , in the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane
and directed from the front to the rear of the
vehicle. System which protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a
serious side impact
in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest,
between the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is fitted in the seat backrest
frame, door side.
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of
a
severe side impact covering all or part of side
impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal
centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane
and directed from the outside towards the
inside of the vehicle. The lateral airbag inflates between the hip and
shoulder of the front occupant of the vehicle
and the corresponding door trim panel.
Curtain airbags
System contributing towards greater protection
for the driver and passengers (with the
exception of the rear centre passenger) in the
event of a
serious side impact in order to limit
the risk of injury to the side of the head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
The curtain airbag is deployed at the same
time as the corresponding lateral airbag in the
event of a
serious side impact applied to all or
part of the side impact zone B , perpendicular
to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle
on a
horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inflates between the front or
rear occupant of the vehicle and the windows.
