Ventilation
DE-ICING AND DEMISTING
Windscreen
The ventilation outlets located at the base
of the windscreen and the side vents for the
side windows increase the effectiveness of
the de-icing and demisting. Do not obstruct
these eight air outlets.
The manual air conditioning consists of the
pollen filter and air recirculation.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
The air recirculation (which can be activated
by the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, the norm is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.
Manual mode
Direct the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
de-icing and demisting of the
windscreen: - increase the air flow setting,
Returning to the exterior air intake
position permits renewal of the air
in the passenger compartment.
Rear screen and mirrors de-icing
This function only operates when
the engine is running. Pressing
this button activates the rapid
demisting/de-icing of the rear
screen and mirrors. This function switches
off automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of energy. It switches off when
the engine is switched off. Pressing this
button switches the function off.
- move the exterior air intake
control temporarily to air
recirculation.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows
closed. However, if the interior temperature
remains high after a prolonged period
parked in the sun, do not hesitate to
ventilate the passenger compartment for a
few minutes. For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer . VENTS
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are:
- 2 adjustable central vents,
- 2 adjustable and closing side vents,
- 2 vents directed towards the floor of the vehicle.

ERGONOMICS and COMFORT
Ventilation
Intake of exterior air
This is the preferred operating
position.
Recirculation of interior air
This position should only be
temporary.
Used with the air conditioning
switched on and setting of the
force of blown air (from 1 to 4), recirculation
enables you to obtain the required ambient
air comfort level with both hot or cold
settings.
Recirculation temporarily prevents exterior
odours and smoke from entering the
passenger compartment. De-icing is more
rapid in this position.
When your ambient air comfort level has
been reached, return to the intake of exterior
air position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting. This
operating mode is preferable.
