In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines belo w:

Â
T
o  obtain  an  even  air  distribution,  take  care  not  to  obstruct  the  exterior  air  intake  grilles Â
l
ocated  at  the  base  of  the  windscreen,  the  nozzles,  the  vents  and  the  air  outlets,  as  well Â
a
s  the  air  extractor  located  in  the  boot.
F
Â
D
o  not  cover  the  sunshine  sensor,  located  on  the  dashboard;  this  is  used  for  regulation Â
o
f  the  air  conditioning  system.
F
Â
O
perate  the  air  conditioning  system  for  at  least  5  to  10  minutes,  once  or  twice  a  month Â
t
o  keep  it  in  per fect  working  order.
F
Â
E
nsure  that  the  passenger  compartment  filter  is  in  good  condition  and  have  the  filter Â
e
lements  replaced  regularly.
 W
e  recommend  the  use  of  a  combined  passenger  compartment  filter.  Thanks  to  its Â
s
pecial  active  additive,  it  contributes  to  the  purification  of  the  air  breathed  by  the Â
o
ccupants  and  the  cleanliness  of  the  passenger  compartment  (reduction  of  allergic Â
s
ymptoms,  bad  odours  and  greasy  deposits).
F
Â
T
o  ensure  correct  operation  of  the  air  conditioning  system,  you  are  also  advised  to  have Â
i
t  checked  regularly  as  recommended  in  the  maintenance  and  warranty  guide.
F
Â
I
f  the  system  does  not  produce  cold  air,  switch  it  off  and  contact  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a Â
q
ualified
 w
orkshop.
Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine, the  i nterior  t emperature  i s  v ery  h igh,  f irst Â
v
entilate  the  passenger  compartment  for Â
a
 few  moments.
Put
 the  air  flow  control  at  a  setting  high Â
e
nough  to  quickly  change  the  air  in  the Â
p
assenger
 c
ompartment.
The
 air  conditioning  system  does  not Â
c
ontain  chlorine  and  does  not  present Â
a
ny  danger  to  the  ozone  layer.
The
 condensation  created  by  the  air Â
c
onditioning  results  in  a  discharge Â
o
f  water  under  the  vehicle  which  is Â
p
er fectly  normal.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature  of  the  coolant.
As
 the  fan  is  electrically  controlled,  its  cooling Â
c
