Windscreen and side windows
The ventilation outlets 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 air outlets.
The pollen filter continuously and effectively
filters dust.
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, normal use is to
drive with the control positioned with the
exterior air intake open.

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.

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.
Automatic additional heating
This is an additional system which starts
automatically when the ignition is switched
on. Its activation depends on the ambient
temperature and the temperature inside the
vehicle.
It switches off automatically once the
