AUTOMATIC ILLUMINATION
Activation
Turn the ring to this position.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor at
the top centre of the windscreen.
GUIDE-ME-HOME LIGHTING
Ignition off or key in the STOP position.
Within 2 minutes after switching off the
engine, position the ignition key in the STOP
position or remove it.
Pull the lighting stalk towards the steering
wheel.
The indicator lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
Each action on the lighting stalk,
pulled towards the steering
wheel, prolongs the guide me home
lighting by 30 seconds up to approximately
3 minutes. When this time has elapsed, the
lamps are switched off automatically.
Deactivate this control by keeping the stalk
pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 seconds. If your vehicle is fitted with this function:
when you leave your vehicle, the dipped
beam headlamps remain on for the selected
duration (when leaving a car park for
example).
You can adjust the sensitivity of the
sunshine sensor.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Vehicle configuration" section.
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
dipped beam headlamps are switched on
automatically if the light is poor.
In fog or snow, the sunshine sensor may
detect sufficient light. Therefore, the lamps
will not be switched on automatically. If
necessary, you must switch on the dipped
beam headlamps manually.
They are switched off when the light returns
to a sufficient level.
LED DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
On starting the vehicle, in daylight the LED
daytime running lamps come on automatically.
If the sidelamps and headlamps are switched
on manually or automatically, the daytime
running lamps go off.
Programming
For countries where exterior lighting by
day is not a legal requirement, you can
activate or deactivate the function via the
configuration menu.
The lamps are switched off automatically
when the ignition is switched off.

Ventilation
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, 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, the side and central
vents, the air outlets on the floor and the air
extractor at the rear are not obstructed.
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 good 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 have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are: 4 adjustable central vents, of
which 2 can be directed sideways (right
or left) towards the top of the body and
4 side vents which can be directed towards
the passengers. The air vents directed
towards the floor of the vehicle complete the
equipment.

MANUAL HEATING / AIR CONDITIONING
If your vehicle is fitted with these controls,
they are located on the dashboard on the
centre console control panel.
Comfort value adjustment
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.
Air conditioning
The air conditioning mode can only operate
with the engine running.
The air blower must be set to at
least 1.
Pressing the button triggers the
operation of the air conditioning,
the LED is on. Pressing the button again
switches the function off and the LED is
switched off.
Air distribution
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 footwells and
the side windows,
the windscreen and the side
windows.
Control positioned:
- in the blue zone provides cool
air,
- in the red zone provides heating of the interior ambient
air.

Comfort value adjustment ring
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 left 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.

widen the lateral field of vision. Objects
seen in the mirror are in reality closer than
they appear. Therefore, this must be taken
into account in order to assess the distance
correctly.
The shell incorporates the direction indicator
side repeater and the aerials, according to
the equipment available on board (GPS,
GSM, Radio, ...).
Electrical controls
The ignition switch must be in the MAR position.
