2a-2b. Temperature adjustment
Control via the manual controls
)
Press one of the controls, with
the exception of temperature
regulation 2a
and 2b
. The indi-
cator lamps A
in the "AUTO"
controls go off.
It is possible to adjust one or more
functions manually while leaving the
other functions in automatic mode.
Switching to manual mode may re-
sult in discomfort (temperature, hu-
midity, odour, condensation) and
may not provide optimum comfort.
To return to "AUTO"
mode, press
controls 1a
and 1b
. The indicator
lamps A
come on.
3a-3b. Air distribution adjustment
)
Press control
3a
to change
the distribu-
tion of the air
fl ow on the
driver's side.
)
Press control 3b
to change the
distribution of the air fl ow on the
passenger's side.
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-
lation is not possible.
)
Turn 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 re-
duce 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 confi guration.
A setting around the value 21
usu-
ally provides optimum comfort.
However, depending on your re-
quirements, 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 tempera-
ture displayed in order to quickly
obtain the level of comfort required.
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning will use its maximum
performance settings to correct the
temperature difference as quickly as
possible.

5. Air fl ow adjustment
)
Press the control:
-
to increase the air fl ow,
- to reduce the air fl ow.
The air fl ow level is indicated by the
progressive lighting of the fan blade
indicator lamps.
Reducing the fl ow to minimum
switches the air conditioning OFF.
To prevent condensation and dete-
rioration of the quality of the air in
the passenger compartment, ensure
that an adequate fl ow of air is main-
tained.
6. Air conditioning
The air conditioning will
only operate when the
engine is running. The air
blower control (air fl ow ad-
justment) must be active in
order to obtain air conditioning.
)
Press control 6
. The indicator
lamp comes on.
In order to be effective, the air condi-
tioning must be used with the windows
closed.
7. Air recirculation -
intake of exterior air
Automatic air intake
mode
It is activated by default
in automatic comfort reg-
ulation.
Automatic mode is acti-
vated with reverse gear or
operation of the screen-
wash.
This function permits re-
circulation of the air and isolation
the passenger compartment from
exterior fumes and odours. It is inac-
tive when the ambient temperature
is below +5 °C to avoid the risk of
misting inside the vehicle.
Closing the air intake
)
Press control 7
to
close the exterior air
intake.
It must be cancelled as soon as pos-
sible to permit renewal of the air in
the passenger compartment and
demisting.

COMFORT
When starting with the engine
cold, air fl ow will reach its opti-
mum 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 or-
der to quickly reach the level of
comfort required. The system
automatically uses its maximum
performance to correct the differ-
ence in temperature as quickly as
possible.
The water resulting from the air
conditioning condensation is dis-
charged via an opening provided
for this purpose; therefore, a pud-
dle of water may form underneath
the vehicle when stationary.
In all seasons, if the weather is
cool, the air conditioning is use-
ful as it removes the humidity
from the air and the condensa-
tion. Avoid driving for prolonged
periods with the air conditioning
switched off.
9. Front demisting - defrosting
In certain cases, the
"AUTO"
mode may not
be suffi cient to demist
or defrost the windows
(humidity, several pas-
sengers, ice).
)
Press control 9
to clear the win-
dows quickly. The indicator lamp
comes on.
This system controls the temperature,
air fl ow 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 pas-
senger compartment and demisting.
Pressing one of the controls 1a
and
1b
returns the system to the "AUTO"
mode.
8. Rear demisting - defrosting
Switch off the rear screen and exterior
mirrors demisting when you consider
this necessary as low current con-
sumption reduces fuel consumption. The heated rear screen
operates independently
of the air conditioning
system.
)
Press control 8
, with the en-
gine running, to demist the rear
screen and the mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp comes on.
Demisting is switched off automati-
cally to avoid excessive consump-
tion of current and depending on the
exterior temperature.
It may be stopped by pressing con-
trol 8
again or when the engine is
switched off.
In this latter case, the demisting re-
sumes if the engine is switched on
again within one minute.
With Stop & Start, when demisting
has been activated, the STOP mode
is not available.

CHILD SAFETY
*
According to country and current
local legislation.
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child's
thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi t-
ted with a seat belt guide at shoulder
level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, check that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat fi rmly
on the seat of your vehicle.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack
in relation to the child's body to a
minimum, even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure that
the back of the child seat is in contact
with the back of the vehicle's seat and
that the head restraint does not cause
any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed, ensure that it is stored or attached se-
curely to prevent it from being thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forwards-facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag * when a "rearwards-facing" child seat is in-
stalled on the front seat. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously injured
or killed if the airbag were to infl ate.
