depending on version.
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.

of comfort. The system automatically
corrects the temperature difference as
quickly as possible.
By reducing the air flow to minimum, you are
