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.






With Stop & Start, when the heated
rear screen is switched on, the STOP
mode is not available.

CORRECT USE OF THE AIR
CONDITIONING
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 or
a qualified workshop.
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.
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.

Ventilation


These controls are located on the centre console.


Air conditioning

The air conditioning mode is operational
when the engine is running. The diode is lit.

Temperature adjustment

Control positioned:


- in the blue zone triggers cool
air,

Air flow

The force of the blown air, from
the vents, varies from 1
to the
strongest 4
. Remember to adjust
this control in order to reach the
ambient air comfort level. To switch off the
blower, place the control in position 0
.
The air supply distribution is
directed by the control turned
towards:
the side vents and the central
vents,
the side vents, the central vents
and the footwells,
the footwells,
the windscreen, the front side
windows and the footwells,
the windscreen. Press the air blower control. The
diode lights.
The air blower control must not
be in position 0
(zero flow) for air
conditioning to be obtained.
Turn the control to the position required.
- in the red zone triggers
heating of the interior ambient
air.

EASE OF USE 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.

LOAD SPACE LAYOUT


Stowing rings

There are 6 stowing rings on the rear floor to
secure your loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp
braking, you are advised to place heavy
objects as far forwards towards the driver’s
seat as possible.

Storage tray

A storage tray is provided at the rear left of
the load space.


Torch

A magnetic torch is provided at the rear right
of the load space.
Remove the torch from its base by
pressing the button then pivoting the torch
downwards by 90 degrees.
To switch on the torch, slide the switch
forwards.
To change the 4 storage batteries (NiMH
type), remove the protective cover from the
torch.
To put the torch back in place, engage
it in the notches on the base and pivot it
upwards.

Ladder type vertical partition

Behind the driver’s seat, a ladder type
vertical partition protects the driver against
the risk of load movement.


Partitions

Panel, glazed and mid-height panel
with grille type partitions are offered to
complement your light van.

The transportation of passengers in the
load space is not permitted.
You are advised to immobilise the load
by securing it firmly using the stowing
rings on the floor. The torch’s storage batteries recharge
automatically while driving.
An additional light is installed in the centre of
the torch base (refer to the "Interior lighting"
section).
