Advice

Using the ventilation and air

conditioning system

If the interior temperature is very high

after the vehicle has stood for a long

time in the sunshine, air 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.

F To ensure that the air is distributed

evenly, keep the external air intake

grilles at the base of the windscreen,

the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets

and the air extractor in the boot free

from obstructions.

F Do not cover the sunshine sensor,

located on the dashboard; this is used

for regulation of the automatic 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.

The condensation created by the air

conditioning results in a discharge of water

under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

F If the system does not produce cold air,

switch it off and contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

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.
