9. Front demisting / defrosting
In certain cases, the "AUTO"
mode may not be sufficient to
demist or defrost the windows
(humidity, several passengers,
i c e).
8. Rear demisting / defrosting
The heated rear screen operates
independently of the air
conditioning system.
F

P

ress control 8 , with the engine running, to
demist the rear screen and the mirrors. The
indicator lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automatically to
avoid excessive consumption of current and
depending on the exterior temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing control 8 again
or when the engine is switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting resumes if the
engine is switched on again within one minute. F

P
ress control 9 to clear the windows
quickly. The indicator lamp comes on.
This system controls the temperature, air flow
and intake and distributes the ventilation to the
windscreen and front side windows.
Resuming manual control exits from the
"Demisting" mode. It must be cancelled as
soon as possible to permit renewal of the air in
the passenger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a or 1b returns
the system to the "AUTO" mode.
With Stop & Start, when demisting has
been activated, the STOP mode is not
available. When starting with the engine cold,
air flow will reach its optimum level
gradually to prevent an excessive
distribution of cold air.
When entering the vehicle after it has
been parked for a fairly long period, if
the interior temperature is very different
from your comfort setting there is
no need to change the temperature
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
per formance to correct the difference in
temperature as quickly as possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is
discharged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a puddle of
water may form underneath the vehicle
when stationary.
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.
Switch off the rear screen and
exterior mirrors demisting when you
consider this necessary, as low current
consumption reduces fuel consumption.

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the terminals are
correctly tightened (versions without quick release
terminals) and that the connections are clean.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Oil filter
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the replacement interval for this
component.
Refer to the manufacturer's
