We recommend use of the automatic regulation
of the air conditioning.
It permits automatic and optimised control
of all of the following functions: air flow,
temperature in the passenger compartment
and air distribution, by means of various
sensors (ambient temperature, sunshine).
This eliminates any need for you to change
your settings other than the temperature value
displayed.
F Take care not to cover the sunshine sensor A .
If you select the automatic mode
(by pressing the "AUTO" control) and leave
all of the vents open, optimum 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.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning must
be used with the windows closed. If the vehicle
has been parked in the sun for a long period and
the interior temperature is very high, first ventilate
the passenger compartment with the windows
open for a few minutes, then close the windows.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning recommendations
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 power
during its operation. As a result, the fuel
consumption of the vehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly arduous use
(e.g. towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), switching off
the air conditioning saves engine power and
improves the towing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the air inlet,
at the bottom of the windscreen, is clean and
free of dead leaves, snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a high
pressure nozzle, avoid spraying at the air
inlet. 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 exterior 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 flaps in
the boot.
The front and rear vents are fitted with
thumbwheels to adjust the air flow and
direction. We recommend that you leave all of
the vents open.
Dust filter / Odour filter
(active carbon)
There is a filter for excluding odours and
dust.
This filter must be changed in line with the
vehicle's servicing schedule. (Refer to the
maintenance and warranty guide).

Manual parking brake
Mechanical device for immobilising the vehicle when stationary.This warning lamp comes on if the
parking brake is engaged or not fully
released.
If the parking brake is released, the
illumination of this warning lamp along with
the
STOP warning lamp indicates that the
brake fluid level is low or a fault with the brake
force distributor.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Application
F Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your vehicle.
To facilitate the action on the lever, you are
recommended to press the brake pedal at the
same time.
Release
F Press on the end of the lever whilst pulling it then lower it fully.
In all circumstances, as a precautionary
measure, engage first gear.
On steep gradients, turn the steering
wheel towards the pavement.

lever A going off,
-

d
isplay of a message "Parking brake off " in
the instrument panel screen.
Activation / Deactivation of
the automatic functions
Depending on the country of sale, automatic
application when switching off the engine
and automatic release when moving

the key in the running position.
If the configuration menu does not have
the option to activate / deactivate the
automatic functions, this can be done
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
With the automatic functions deactivated, the
parking brake must be applied and released
manually.
When stationary, with the engine
running, do not press the accelerator
pedal unnecessarily (particularly when
starting the engine, including in neutral),
as you may release the parking brake.

104
Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum
application of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull on control lever A,
until you see the message "Max application of
the parking brake" and a beep is heard.
Maximum application is essential:
-

i
n the case of a vehicle towing a caravan
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
-

w
hen the effective gradient you are parked
on is variable (e.g. on a ferry, in a lorry,
during towing).
-

i
n the case of towing, a loaded vehicle or
parking on a gradient, turn the front wheels
towards the pavement and engage a gear
when you park.
-

a
fter a maximum application, the release
time will be longer.
Particular situations
In certain situations (starting the engine...), the
parking brake can automatically alter its level of
application. This is normal operation.
To advance your vehicle a few centimetres
without starting the engine, but with the ignition
on, press on the brake pedal and release the
parking brake by pushing then releasing
control lever A .
The full release of the parking brake is
confirmed by the warning lamp P in the control
lever and the warning lamp in the instrument
panel going off and the display of a message
"Parking brake off " in the instrument panel
screen.
To ensure correct operation of the parking
brake and therefore your safety, the number of
successive application/release operations is
limited to eight.
If this number is exceeded, you are warned
by the message "Parking brake faulty" and a
warning lamp flashes. In the event of a battery failure, it will
not be possible to operate the electric
parking brake.
As a safety measure if the parking
brake is not applied, immobilise the
vehicle by engaging a gear or by
placing a chock against one of the
wheels.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
