Get VENTILATION -> Automatic Air Conditioning Guide for Citroen Berlingo SUV First Generation (1996-2008)

Ventilation

When the engine is cold, to prevent

an excessive diffusion of cold air, the

air diffuser will reach its optimum level

gradually.

For your comfort, the settings are stored

when the ignition is switched off and are

reinstated the next time the vehicle

is started.

The automatic function will no longer

be maintained if you change a setting

manually (AUTO is cleared).

Ventilation

GOOD PRACTICE

Air conditioning

In all seasons, 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, do

not hesitate to ventilate the passenger

compartment for a few minutes.

Use the AUTO mode as much as

possible as it permits optimised

control of all of the functions: air ﬂow,

passenger compartment comfort

temperature, air distribution, air

intake mode or air recirculation in the

passenger compartment.

Operate the air conditioning system

for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a

month, to keep it in perfect working

order.

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 contact a CITROËN

dealer.

Vents

"Leave them open"

For optimum distribution and diffusion

of hot or cool air in the passenger

compartment, there are adjustable

central and side vents which can

be directed sideways (right or left)

or vertically (up or down). For your

comfort while driving, do not close

them and direct the ﬂow of air towards

the windows instead.

Air vents in the footwells and directed

towards the windscreen complete the

equipment.

Do not block the vents located at the

windscreen or the air extractor located

in the boot.

In this case, select the visibility
