The settings range between:


- increasing the interior ambient air
temperature HI (High) which goes up to
to a maximum setting of 32,

- cooling the interior ambient air
temperature LO (Low) which goes down
to a setting of 16.

Air distribution

A press illuminates the LED on the buttons
which distribute the air flow towards:
the windscreen and front side
window vents (demisting/
defrosting the windows),
the central and side vents (chest
and face),
the vents in the front and rear
areas (feet).
The combination of buttons permits
improvement of air distribution.
Air flow

Successive presses of this button
increase (+) or reduce (-) the
force of the air flow to the interior.


Intake of exterior air/
recirculation of interior air
When the LED is on, the air
recirculates inside the passenger
compartment to prevent the entry of exterior
odours and smoke. This position should be
temporary.
When the ambient air comfort level has been
reached, pressing the button switches the
LED off and reopens the exterior air intake.
Pressing the AUTO
button also restores
the intake of exterior air. Returning to this
position permits renewal of the air in the
passenger compartment and demisting.
Pressing the AUTO
button again restores
the FULL AUTO
function.


Rapid demisting/defrosting

Pressing this control permits
rapid clearing of the windows.
The LED is on.
The system manages the air conditioning,
the flow and intake of air, the defrosting
of the rear screen and provides optimum
distribution of the air to the windscreen and
front side windows.
If your vehicle is fitted with additional
heating, switch it off to ensure rapid and
effective demisting/defrosting.
ADDITIONAL REAR VENTILATION


The controls for this system,
additional to the standard cabin
ventilation system, are on the
lower dashboard, to the right of
the steering wheel.

Air outlet
A press on this control activates
the extraction of air to the
outside; the LED comes on.
Press again to switch off.

Air inlet
A press on this control activates
the entry of air into the cabin; the
LED comes on. Press again to
switch off.

ADDITIONAL HEATING SYSTEMS
Supplementar
y heating
On the 2-3 seats version, this is located
under the seat on the driver's side with air
diffusion directed forwards.
REAR HEATING AND/OR AIR
CONDITIONING
If your vehicle is fitted with an
additional air conditioning unit,
located in the rear of the vehicle:
the distribution duct located in
the roof and the individual diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of cold air.
The warm air diffused at the floor, from the
front air conditioning unit, is distributed at
the feet of the rear passengers of rows 2
and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly
for the feet of the rear passengers of row 3.

Additional heating

This is passenger compartment heating,
additional to the standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.


Additional heater or programmable
additional heating
This is an additional, programmable and
separate system which heats the Diesel
engine hot coolant loop to make starting
easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted to the vehicle.
The passenger compartment heating is
brought up to temperature more rapidly.
This system must be programmed to start up
before you enter the vehicle. On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.
Press this control to activate/
deactivate the heating. The LED
is on if the heating is activated.
When rapid demisting and
defrosting is required, switch off the control.

Activation/Deactivation
This control, located on the
control panel at the right-hand
end of the dashboard, enables
you to activate/deactivate the
operation of the rear controls from the
driver's seat.
The first press activates (LED on).
A second press deactivates (LED off). To deactivate the blower, place the control in
position 0. However, a safety device will ventilate the
rear circuit automatically, even if the control
is in position 0, to prevent the formation of
condensation.
Air flow

The force of the blown air, via
the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4.
To obtain a comfortable level of
ambient air, remember to adjust this control.

Immediate switching on of the heating

Before switching on the heating, check that:


- the temperature setting control is in the
"Hot air" position (red).

- the air fl ow setting control is in position 2.
This symbol or the previous stored time and
the number (e.g. 1) corresponding to the
recalled pre-selection are displayed for ten
seconds.

Note:
if you wish to recall the other pre-
selected times, press the SET button several
times before the ten seconds have elapsed. Press this button.
The screen and the associated
indicator lamp come on.
Within ten seconds, press these two setting
buttons until the correct time is displayed.
Press ">" to increase the hours or
"<" to decrease.
Press and hold the button for
more rapid scrolling of the digits.
Reading the time

Press this button.
This indicator lamp comes
on, the time is displayed for
approximately ten seconds. Press this button.
The screen and the heating
cycle indicator lamp come on
and remain on throughout the
duration of operation.


Switching on the deferred heating

Switching on can be programmed between
one minute and twenty-four hours in
advance.
You can store up to three different start
times, but programme one deferred start
only.

Note

:
if you wish to start the heating at a
fixed time each day, simply reprogramme
the stored time each day.
Press this button, the screen
becomes brighter. Within the ten seconds, press
these two setting buttons to
select the required start time.
Setting of the stored time is
confirmed by clearing of the start
time, display of the pre-selection
number (e.g. 1) and increased
brightness of the screen illumination.

Cancelling the programming

Press this button briefly to clear
the programmed start time.
The screen illumination and the
pre-selection number (e.g. 1) are
switched off.
Good practice

To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
The additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank.
Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator lamp is
not at reserve.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The additional heating system is fitted with
a temperature limiter which cuts off the
combustion in the event of overheating due
to a lack of coolant.
Top up the coolant, then press the
programme selection control before
switching the heating on again. Have the additional heating system
checked at least once a year at the
beginning of winter. Maintenance and
repairs should only be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.
Use only genuine replacement parts.


Recalling one of the pre-selected
start times

Press this button as many times
as necessary until the number
corresponding to the required pre-
selected start time (e.g. 2) appears.
After ten seconds, the time is cleared but
remains stored for as long as the number
(e.g. 2) and the screen remain on.


Switching off the heating

Press this button.
The heating cycle indicator lamp
and the screen are switched off.


Two different types of equipment

The additional heating is separate and
programmable. Before you enter the vehicle,
it gradually increases the temperature of the
engine to make starting easier.
This also facilitates passenger compartment
heating, demisting and defrosting.
The additional passenger compartment
heating system supplements the
standard equipment. Its operation may be
independent of the engine.
Switching on of the heating may be
programmable.
