Additional heating/ ventilation system




Heating
This is an additional and separate system which
heats the passenger compartment and improves
defrosting performance.
This indicator lamp is lit while the system is programmed or set in operation
remotely via the remote control.
It flashes during the whole duration of the
heating and goes off at the end of the heating
cycle or when stopped using the remote control.
Ventilation
This system allows ventilation of the passenger
compartment with exterior air to improve the
temperature experienced on entering the vehicle
in summer.
Programming
You can programme when the heating or
ventilation will come on using the second page of
the "Climate" menu of the touch screen.
In the Air conditioning >
OPTIONS menu:
► Select AIR CON programming.
►

Press the
Status tab to activate/deactivate
the system.
►

Press the
Settings tab to select Heating
mode to heat the engine and passenger
compartment or Ventilation mode to ventilate
the passenger compartment.
►

Then programme/save the activation time for
each selection.
►


Press
OK to confirm.
You must allow at least 60 minutes between programming operations.
Depending on the outside temperature, a
certain amount of pre-conditioning time is
necessary in order to reach the programmed
temperature by the stored activation time.
This pre-conditioning time lasts up to 45
min.
with a Diesel engine and up to 30
min. with a
petrol engine.

Ease of use and comfort
Temperature pre-conditioning
(Rechargeable hybrid)
This function allows you to programme the
temperature in the passenger compartment to
reach a pre-defined, non-modifiable temperature
(approx. 21°C) before you enter the vehicle, on
the days and at the times of your choice.
This function is available when the vehicle is not
connected.
Programming
(With CITROËN Connect Nav)
In the Climate > OPTIONS menu:
Select Temperature conditioning .
► Press + to add a programming.
► Select the time of entry into the vehicle and
the desired days. Press OK.
► Press ON to activate this programming.
The pre-conditioning sequence begins
approximately 45 minutes before the
programmed time when the vehicle is connected
(20 minutes when it is not connected) and is
maintained for 10 minutes after.
Long-range remote control
This enables you to switch the heating in
the passenger compartment on or off from a
distance.
The remote control has a range of about 0.6
miles (1
km) in open country.


On
► Pressing and ho lding this button starts
the heating immediately (confirmed by the
green indicator lamp coming on briefly).
Switching off
► Pressing and ho lding this button stops
the heating immediately (confirmed by the
temporary illumination of the red indicator lamp).
The indicator lamp in the remote control flashes
for about 2 seconds if the vehicle has not
received the signal.
Then repeat the command after having changed
location.
Changing the battery
The indicator lamp in the remote control will
change to orange if the battery charge is low.
If the indicator lamp is not on, the battery is
discharged.


► Use a coin to unscrew the cap and replace
the battery .
Do not throw remote control batteries
away, as they contain metals that are
harmful to the environment. Take them to an
approved disposal point.
If the system is switched on using the
long-range remote control, the maximum
heating duration is around 45
min. with a
Diesel engine, and around 30
min. with a
petrol engine.
The ventilation is activated provided that the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
–

the battery charge and the fuel level are
sufficient,
– the engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle,
–

60
minutes have elapsed between two
heating requests.
Programmable heating is supplied by the
vehicle fuel tank. Before use, make sure
that you have sufficient fuel. If the fuel tank is
on reserve, you are strongly recommended
not to programme the heating.
The additional heating must always be
switched off while refuelling to avoid any risk
of fire or explosion.
To avoid the risk of poisoning or asphyxia, the programmable heating
must not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which is not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.)
- Risk of fire!
Glazed surfaces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Never put objects on these surfaces; never
touch these surfaces - Risk of burns!
