urn control 2a
to change the temperature
on the driver's side and control 2b
to change the temperature on the
passenger's side: to the right to increase
the temperature or to the left to reduce it.
The setting required is displayed.
The value indicated on the display corresponds
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on
the screen configuration.
A setting around the value 21 usually provides
optimum comfort. However, depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
On entering the vehicle, the interior
temperature may be much colder (or warmer)
than is comfortable. There is no need to
change the temperature displayed in order to
quickly obtain the level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air conditioning
will use its maximum per formance settings to
correct the temperature difference as quickly
as possible. F

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
Switch off the rear screen and exterior mirrors
demisting when you consider this necessary
as low current consumption reduces fuel
consumption. The heated rear screen operates
independently of the air
conditioning system.
F Press 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 and 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.

Programmable heating
The programmable heating operates
independently of the engine.
When the engine is off, it pre-heats the coolant
circuit in order to benefit from an optimum
engine operating temperature from the time the
engine is switched on.
The programmable heating system is switched
on using the long range remote control.
Activation can be immediate or deferred by
means of a programming function.The heating system programming remote
control consists of the following buttons and
displays:
1.

crolling functions menu buttons.
2.
F
unction indicators: clock, temperature,

Reinitialising the remote control
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected or the
remote control's battery is replaced, the remote
control must be reinitialised.
After switching on the power, press button 4
(OFF) for 1 second within the next 5 seconds.
If the operation has taken place correctly the
message "OK" is displayed on the remote
control screen.
If a problem occurs, the message " F A I L"
appears. Repeat the operation. Always switch off the programmable
heating while filling with fuel to avoid
any risk of fire or explosion.
To avoid any risk of poisoning and
asphyxiation, the programmable
heating must not be used, even for
short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which
is not equipped with an exhaust gas
extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an
inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead
leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.
The programmable heating system
is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that the quantity
of fuel remaining is sufficient. If the
fuel tank is at the reserve, we strongly
advise that you do not programme the
heating.
The interior volumetric protection alarm
movement sensor may be disturbed by
the flow of air from the programmable
heating when it is in operation.
To avoid any unexpected triggering
of the alarm during use of the
programmable heating, it is advisable
to deactivate the interior volumetric
protection.
An adaptation of your programmable
heating allows you to pre-heat your
vehicle's passenger compartment.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
