Ventilation / Heating
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger 
compartment is filtered and originates either 
from the outside via the grille located at the 
base of the windscreen or from the inside in air 
recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes 
depending on the controls selected by the 
driver:
- 
d
 irect arrival in the passenger 
compartment (air intake),
-
 
p
 assage through a heating circuit (heating),
-
 
p
 assage through a cooling circuit (air 
conditioning).
Control panel
The controls of this system are grouped 
together on control panel A on the centre 
console.

Manual air conditioning
The air conditioning system operates only with the engine running.
1. Temperature adjustment
F Turn the dial to select a position between blue (cold) 
and red (hot) so as to adjust 
the temperature to your 
requirements.
2. Air flow adjustment
This dial is used to increase or 
decrease the speed of the air 
booster fan.
3. Air distribution adjustment
This dial is used to arrange the distribution of 
air in the passenger compartment by combining 
several air outlets.
F

4. Air intake / Air recirculation
The intake of exterior air prevents the formation 
of mist on the windscreen and side windows.F
 
P
 ress the button to recirculate 
the interior air. The indicator 
lamp comes on to confirm this.
This function allows hot or cold air to be 
delivered selectively and more quickly.
5. Air conditioning On/Off
The air conditioning is designed to 
operate effectively in all seasons, 
with the windows closed.
Switching on
F Press the "A /C "
 button, the button's 
indicator lamp comes on.
The air conditioning does not operate 
when the air flow adjustment control 2 
is in position " 0".
To obtain cooled air more quickly, you 
can use recirculation of interior air for 
a few moments. Then return to fresh 
air intake.
The recirculation of interior air isolates the 
passenger compartment from exterior odours 
and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as possible 
to prevent deterioration of the the air quality 
and the formation of mist.
F
 
P
ress the button again to permit the intake 
of exterior air. The indicator lamp goes off 
to confirm this. It enables you to:
-
 
l
ower the temperature, in summer,
-
 
i
ncrease the effectiveness of the demisting 
in winter, above 3 °C.
Switching off
F Press the "A /C "  button again, the button's 
indicator lamp goes off.
Switching off may affect comfort levels 
(humidity, condensation).

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.

5. Air conditioning On / Off
F Press this button to switch off the air conditioning.
Switching the system off could result in 
discomfort (humidity, condensation).
F
 
P
ress this button again to return to 
automatic operation of the air conditioning. 
The indicator lamp on the "A /C "  button 
comes on.
6. Air distribution adjustment
F Press one or more buttons to  direct the air flow towards:
-
 
t
 he windscreen and side 
windows (demisting or 
def r o st ing),
-
 
t
 he outer and centre air 
vents,
-
 
t
 he footwells.
You can combine the three orientations to 
obtain the desired air distribution.
7. Air flow adjustment
F Turn this control to the left to  decrease the air flow or to the 
right to increase the air flow.
8. Air intake / Air recirculation
F Press this button for recirculation of the interior air. The indicator 
lamp in the button comes on.
The air flow indicator lamps, between the two 
fans, come on progressively in relation to the 
value requested.
9.  "REST" function: ventilation 
with the engine off
Even with the engine is off, you 
can operate the ventilation for a 
few
 m
inutes.
Air recirculation enables the passenger 
compartment to be isolated from exterior 
odours and smoke.
F
 
A
s soon as possible, press this button 
again to permit the intake of outside air and 
prevent the formation of condensation. The 
indicator lamp in the button goes off. For example, while you are away from the 
vehicle, the passengers can still enjoy some air 
circulation without having the engine running.
This function is available after switching on the 
ignition, as well as after stopping the engine.
The period that the function is available 
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
You can activate the "REST" function while the 
air conditioning control screens are on.
Avoid prolonged operation in interior air 
recirculation mode (risk of misting and 
deterioration of air quality).

Advice
The incorrect installation of a child seat in a 
vehicle compromises the child's protection 
in the event of an accident.
Ensure that there is no seat belt or seat belt 
buckle under the child seat, as this could 
destabilise it.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the 
child seat harnesses keeping the slack 
relative to the child's body to a minimum, 
even for short journeys.
When installing a child seat using the seat 
belt, ensure that the seat belt is tightened 
correctly on the child seat and that it 
secures the child seat firmly on the seat 
of your vehicle. If your passenger seat is 
adjustable, move it for wards if necessary.For optimum installation of the for ward 
facing child seat, ensure that the back of 
the child seat is as close as possible to the 
backrest of the vehicle's seat, in contact if 
possible.
You mst remove the head restraint before 
installing a child seat with backrest to a 
passenger seat.
Ensure that the head restraint is stored or 
attached securely to prevent it from being 
thrown around the vehicle in the event of 
sharp braking. Refit the head restraint when 
the child seat is removed.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
-
 
a c
 hild or children alone and 
unsupervised in a vehicle,
-
 
a c
 hild or an animal in a vehicle which 
is exposed to the sun, with the windows 
closed,
-
 
t
 he keys within reach of children inside 
the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the doors 
and rear windows, use the child lock.
Take care not to open the rear windows by 
more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays of 
the sun, fit side blinds on the rear windows.
At rear seating positions, always leave 
sufficient space between the front seat and:
-
 
a r
 ear ward facing child seat,
-
 
t
 he child's feet for a child seat fitted 
forward facing.
To do this, move the front seat for wards 
and, if necessary, move its backrest into the 
upright position.
Children at the front
The legislation on carrying children on the 
front passenger seat is specific to each 
country. Refer to the legislation in force in 
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's front airbag 
when a rear ward facing child seat is 
installed on the front passenger seat.
Otherwise, the child risks being seriously 
injured or killed if the airbag is deployed.
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, fitted with a 
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
