COMFORT
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-
tions: air fl ow, temperature in the
passenger compartment and air
distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sun-
shine). This eliminates any need for
you to change your settings other
than the temperature value dis-
played.
)
Take care not to cover the sun-
shine sensor A
.
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control)
and leave all of the vents open, opti-
mum comfort will be maintained and
humidity and condensation will be
removed regardless of the exterior
climatic conditions.
The temperature in the passenger
compartment can only be lower than
the ambient temperature if the air
conditioning is on.
HEATING, VENTILATION
AND AIR CONDITIONING
RECOMMENDATIONS In order to be effective, the air con-
ditioning must be used with the win-
dows closed. If the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a long period
and the interior temperature is very
high, fi rst ventilate 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 engine pow-
er during its operation. As a result,
the fuel consumption of the vehicle
increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (e.g. towing the maximum
load on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air con-
ditioning saves engine power and
improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the
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
Maximum comfort is obtained by
means of a good distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, both in
the front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-
terior air intake grille located at the
base of the windscreen, the vents,
the air outlets under the front seats
and the air extractor located behind
the fl aps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fi tted
with thumbwheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction. We recommend
that you leave all of the vents open.
Dust filter / Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter must be changed in line
with the vehicle's servicing schedule
(see the vehicle's servicing booklet).

DRIVING
GEAR EFFICIENCY
INDICATOR *
System which reduces fuel con-
sumption by advising the driver to
change up on vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox.
Operation
The system intervenes only when
driving economically.
Depending on the driving situation
and your vehicle's equipment, the
system may advise you to skip one
or more gears. You can follow this
instruction without engaging the in-
termediate gears.
The gear engagement recommen-
dations must not be considered
compulsory. In fact, the confi gu-
ration of the road, the amount of
traffi c and safety remain determin-
ing factors when choosing the best
gear. Therefore, the driver remains
responsible for deciding whether or
not to follow the advice given by the
system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
*
According to engine.
Example:
- You are in third gear.
- You press the accelerator pedal
moderately.
- The system may suggest that
you engage a higher gear, if ap-
propriate.
The information appears in the in-
strument panel in the form of an ar-
row accompanied by the suggested
gear.
In the case of driving which
makes particular demands on
the performance of the engine
(fi rm pressure on the accelerator
pedal, for example, when overtak-
ing...), the system will not recom-
mend a gear change.
The system never suggests:
- engaging fi rst gear,
- engaging reverse gear,
- engaging a lower gear.

DRIVING
STOP & START
The Stop & Start system puts the en-
gine temporarily into standby - STOP
mode - during stops in the traffi c
(red lights, traffi c jams, or other...).
The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want
to move off. The restart takes place
instantly, quickly and silently.
Perfect for urban use, the Stop &
Start system reduces fuel consump-
tion and exhaust emissions as well
as the noise level when stationary.
Operation
- with the electronic gearbox
system
, at speeds below 4 mph
(6 km/h), press the brake pedal or
put the gear lever in position N
.
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and
the engine goes into standby:
If your vehicle is fi tted
with the system, a time
counter calculates the
sum of the periods in
STOP mode during a journey. It rests
itself to zero every time the ignition
is switched on with the key.
For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the func-
tionality of the vehicle, such as for ex-
ample, braking, power steering...
Never refuel with the engine
in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the
key.
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
In this case, the "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,
- the vehicle has not exceeded
6 mph (10 km/h) since the last
engine start using the key,
- the electric parking brake is ap-
plied or being applied,
- the engine is needed to maintain
a comfortable temperature in the
passenger compartment,
- demisting is active,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient
temperature...) where the engine
is needed to assure control of a
system.

DRIVING
- gear lever in position A
or M
, re-
lease the brake pedal,
- or gear lever in position N
and the
brake pedal released, move the
gear lever to position A
or M
,
- or engage reverse gear.
Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts with
the electronic gearbox
sys-
tem
:
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In this case the "ECO"
warning lamp fl ashes for a
few seconds, then goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
START mode is invoked automati-
cally when:
- the driver's door is open,
- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,
- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h) with the elec-
tronic gearbox system,
- the electric parking brake is being
applied,
- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature,
braking assistance, ambient tem-
perature...) where the engine is
needed for control of a system. At any time, press the "ECO
OFF"
switch to deactivate the sys-
tem.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-
ing lamp coming on accompanied by
a message in the screen.
Deactivation
If the system has been deactivated
in STOP mode, the engine restarts
immediately.
The system is reactivated auto-
matically at every new start using
the key.
Reactivation
Press the "ECO OFF"
switch again.
The system is active again; this is
confi rmed by the switch warning
lamp going off and a message in the
screen.

DRIVING
In the event of a fault with the sys-
tem, the "ECO OFF"
switch warning
lamp fl ashes then comes on con-
tinuously.
Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode,
the vehicle may stall: all the instru-
ment panel warning lamps come on.
It is then necessary to switch off the
ignition and start the engine again
using the key.
Operating fault
The Stop & Start system
makes use of advanced tech-
nology. For any work on the sys-
tem go to a qualifi ed workshop with
the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
Before doing anything under
the bonnet, deactivate the
Stop & Start system to avoid
any risk of injury resulting from au-
tomatic operation of START mode.
Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery
with a special specifi cation and tech-
nology (reference numbers available
from CITROËN dealers).
Fitting a battery not listed by
CITROËN introduces the risk of mal-
function of the system.
To charge the battery, use a 12 V
charger and observe the polarity.
