Air conditioning
We recommend use of the automatic
regulation of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised
control of all of the following func-
t i o n s : a i r fl o w , t e m p e r a t u r e i n t h e
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
s e n s o r s ( e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e , s u n -
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.
Please do not block the sunshine
sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode (by
pressing the "AUTO" control) and
leave all of the vents open, optimum
comfort will be maintained and humid-
ity and condensation will be removed
r e g a r d l e s s o f t h e e x t e r i o r c l i m a t i c c o n -
ditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
t h e e x t e r i o r t e m p e r a t u r e i f t h e a i r
conditioning is on.
VENTILATION, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING RECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed. If the vehicle has been parked
in the sun for a long period and the in-
terior temperature is very high, venti-
late the passenger compartment with
the windows open for a few minutes,
then close the windows.
To keep the air conditioning system
in good working order it is essential
that it is operated at least once a
month.
The air conditioning uses the engine
power during its operation. As a result,
the fuel consumption of the vehicle in-
creases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
o u s u s e ( e . g . t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m
load on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air condi-
tioning permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore increases the
towing capacity.
Air inlet
C h e c k t h a t t h e e x t e r i o r g r i l l e f o r t h e
air inlet, at the bottom of the wind-
screen, is clean and free of dead
leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a
high pressure nozzle, avoid spray-
ing at the air inlet. Air circulation

the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.

The air conditioning will only oper-
ate when the engine is running. The

rear screen demisting.
The temperature-related comfort is
no longer controlled (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
Avoid driving for too long with the air
conditioning off.
In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed.
Deactivating the air conditioning may
result in discomfort (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation).
The indicator lamps corresponding
to the distribution chosen come on:
- Windscreen and front side win- dows.
- Front ventilation (central and side vents and air diffusion grille
if open) and rear ventilation.
- Front and rear footwells.
Simultaneous display of the distribu-
tion of air to the windscreen and side
windows and of front and rear venti-

- In all seasons, if the weather is cool, the air conditioning
is useful as it removes the
humidity from the air and the
condensation. Avoid driving
for prolonged periods with the
air conditioning switched off.
However, demisting resumes when
the engine is switched on again.

possible to permit renewal of the
air in the passenger compartment

Turn control 2a to change the
temperature on the driver's side
and control 2b to change the tem-
perature on the passenger's side:
to the right to increase the tem-
perature or to the left to reduce it.

The value indicated on the display
corresponds to a level of comfort
and not to a temperature in degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending
o n t h e s c r e e n c o n fi g u r a t i o n .
A setting around the value 21 usually
makes it possible to obtain optimum
comfort. However, depending on
your requirements, a setting between
18 and 24 is usual.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder
(or warmer) than is comfortable.
There is no need to change the

Intake of air in automatic
anti-pollution mode
This is activated by default
in automatic comfort regu-
lation mode.
The automatic mode has an air qual-
ity sensor. It analyses the air and
isolates the passenger compart-
ment from the outside if it detects
the presence of pollutants. In this
case, it automatically activates the
recirculation of the passenger com-
partment air.
This function does not detect un-
pleasant odours and therefore does
not prevent them from entering the
passenger compartment. It is not

the vehicle when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is
cool, the air conditioning is use-
ful as it removes the humidity

controls
For the safety of your children,
press control 5 to deactivate the

Indicator lamp on, the rear controls
are deactivated.
Indicator lamp off, the rear controls
are activated. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the vehicle,
even for a short time.
If an obstacle is encountered during
operation of the electric windows,
you must reverse the movement of
the window. To do this, press the
control concerned.
When the driver operates the con-
trols for the passengers’ electric
windows, he must ensure that no
one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the
passengers use the electric win-
dows correctly.
Be aware of children when operat-
ing the windows.
A message on the instrument panel
screen informs you of the activation/
deactivation of the control. This control also deactivates the
interior controls for the rear doors
(refer to the section "Child safety -
§ Electric child lock").
Any other status of the indicator
lamp indicates a malfunction of the
electric child lock. Have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer.
