Dual-zone digital air conditioningThe air conditioning system operates when the engine is running.
Automatic operation
1. Automatic comfort programme
We recommend the use of one of
the three AUTO modes available:
they provide optimised regulation of
the temperature in the passenger
compartment according to the comfort value
that you have chosen.
These three modes automatically adjust the
air flow, according to the desired setting, while
also maintaining the desired comfort value. F
P ress the "AUTO" button repeatedly:
-
a f
irst indicator lamp comes on; the
"light" setting mode is selected,
-
a s
econd indicator lamp comes on; the
"medium" setting mode is selected,
-
a t
hird indicator lamp comes on; the
"intense" mode setting is selected. When the engine is cold, the air
flow will reach its optimum level
progressively, taking account of the
weather and the desired comfort level
so as to avoid too great a distribution
of cold air.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value, there is no
need to change the value displayed in
order to obtain the comfort required.
The system corrects the difference
in temperature automatically and as
quickly as possible.
This system is designed to operate effectively
in all seasons, with the windows closed.

Switching the system off
F Turn the air flow control to the left until all of the indicator
lamps go off.
This switch does not operate the air conditioning, only the air fan.
When the "REST" function is activated, you cannot modify the temperature, air flow
and distribution settings: these are controlled automatically according to the ambient
temperature.
This function is not available in the STOP mode of Stop & Start. Avoid prolonged operation in interior
air recirculation mode or driving for
long periods with the system off (risk of
misting and deterioration of air quality).
On switching on the engine
-
T
he control screens come on: the function
is available.

ventilation for a few minutes. Activation of
the function is confirmed by the display of

period.
P
ressing again before the end of the period
interrupts off the ventilation definitively: the
control screens go off and the function is
no longer available. This action switches off the air conditioning and
the ventilation.
Temperature related comfort is no longer
assured but a slight flow of air, due to the
movement of the vehicle, can still be felt.

This connection box comprises a USB port and
a Jack auxiliary socket.For more information, refer to the
corresponding part of the "Audio and
telematics" section.
USB port
The USB port allows the connection of a
portable device, such as a digital audio player
of the iPod
® type or a USB memory stick.
The USB player reads your audio files, which
are transmitted to your audio system and
played via the vehicle's speakers.
The management of these files is from the
steering mounted controls or the audio system.
USB Player
When connected to the USB port, the
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the
portable device exceeds the current
delivered by the vehicle.
Jack auxiliary socket
The Jack auxiliary socket allows the connection
of a portable device, such as a digital audio
player, so that your audio files can be heard
through the vehicle's speakers.
The management of these files is from the
portable device. The USB also allows a telephone to be
connected by a MirrorLink™ connection, so
that use can be made in the touch screen tablet
of certain applications on the telephone.
The connection of an electrical device
not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor telephone
reception or inter ference with displays
in the screens.
