Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning


If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer. In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:



To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
as the air extractor located in the boot.


Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation
of the air conditioning system.


Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.


Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).


To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.


If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
per fectly normal.




Stop & Start

The heating and air conditioning systems only work when the engine is running. To maintain
a comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, you can temporarily deactivate
the Stop & Start system (see the corresponding section).

Rear view mirror

Adjustable mirror providing a central rear ward view.
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which darkens the mirror glass and reduces the nuisance to


Push the lever to change to the normal
"day" position.

By means of a sensor, which measures the
light from the rear of the vehicle, this system
automatically and progressively changes
between the day and night uses.







Automatic day/night model


In order to ensure optimum visibility
during your manoeuvres, the mirror
lightens automatically when reverse
gear is engaged.

As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spot".

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection


System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system continuously monitors the
pressures of the four tyres, as soon as the
vehicle is moving.
A pressure sensor is located in the valve of a
each tyres (except the spare wheel).
The system triggers an alert if a drop in
pressure is detected in one or more tyres.
The tyre under-inflation detection system is
an aid to driving which does not replace the
need for the driver to be vigilant or to drive
responsibly.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressures for your vehicle
can be found on the tyre pressure
label (see the "Identification markings"
section).
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres cold (vehicle stopped
for 1 hour or after driving for less then
6 miles (10 km) at moderate speed).
Other wise, add 0.3 bar to the values
indicated on the label.

This system does not avoid the need
to check the tyre pressures regularly
(including the spare wheel) and before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
adversely affects road holding,
extends braking distances and causes
premature tyre wear, particularly under
arduous conditions (vehicle loaded,
high speed, long journey).
