In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelinesbelow:
F Toobtainanevenairdistribution,takecarenottoobstructtheexteriorairintakegrilles
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well
astheairextractorlocatedintheboot.
F Donotcoverthesunshinesensor,locatedonthedashboard;thisisusedforregulation
oftheairconditioningsystem.
F Operatetheairconditioningsystemforatleast5to10minutes,onceortwiceamonth
tokeepitinperfectworkingorder.
F Ensurethatthepassengercompartmentfilterisingoodconditionandhavethefilter
elementsreplacedregularly.
 Werecommendtheuseofacombinedpassengercompartmentfilter.Thankstoits
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the
occupantsandthecleanlinessofthepassengercompartment(reductionofallergic
symptoms,badodoursandgreasydeposits).
F Toensurecorrectoperationoftheairconditioningsystem,youarealsoadvisedtohave
itcheckedregularlyasrecommendedinthemaintenanceandwarrantyguide.
F If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifiedworkshop.
Recommendationsforventilationandairconditioning
Ifafteranextendedstopinsunshine,
theinteriortemperatureisveryhigh,first
ventilatethepassengercompartmentfor
afewmoments.
Puttheairflowcontrolatasettinghigh
enoughtoquicklychangetheairinthe
passengercompartment.
Theairconditioningsystemdoesnot
contain chlorine and does not present
anydangertotheozonelayer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioningresultsinadischarge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectlynormal.
Whentowingthemaximumloadonasteepgradientinhightemperatures,switchingoffthe
airconditioningincreasestheavailableenginepowerandsoimprovesthetowingability.
Stop & Start
Theheatingandairconditioning
systemsonlyworkwhentheengineis
running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
inthepassengercompartment,youcan
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Start,
refertothecorrespondingsection.
