Ventilation



DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING


Windscreen
The vents located at the base of the
windscreen and the side vents for the side
windows increase the effectiveness of the
demisting and defrosting. Do not obstruct
these eight vents.
The manual air conditioning includes a
pollen filter and air recirculation.
The pollen filter permits continuous and
effective filtering of dust.
Air recirculation (which can be operated by
the driver or the passenger) isolates the
passenger compartment from the exterior
atmosphere. However, this position should
only be used temporarily, you should
normally drive with the control in the exterior
air intake position.
Manual mode
Turn the control to this air
distribution setting.
For faster and more effective
demisting and defrosting of the
windscreen:


- increase the air flow setting,
Return to the exterior air intake
position as soon as possible to
allow renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment.
Rear screen and mirrors defrosting
This function only operates when
the engine is running. Pressing
this button activates the rapid
demisting/defrosting 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
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
is high after a prolonged period parked
in the sun, first 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.

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 using the
appropriate air fan setting (from 1 to 4),
recirculation enables you to obtain the
desired level of comfort with either hot or
cold settings.
Recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment. Defrosting is faster in this
position.
Once the required level of comfort has been
reached, return to the intake of exterior air
position to permit renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting. This
is the preferred operating position.
