Ease of use and comfort
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.

Advice
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► To ensure that 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.
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located
on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► Position the strap(s) around the head
restraint(s) (depending on the position of the
partition).
► Tighten the strap(s) using the adjustable
section in order to correctly retain the items that
have been loaded inside the cover.
► Operate the air conditioning system for at
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in good working order.
► If the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
When towing a large load on a steep gradient
in high temperatures, switching off the air
conditioning increases the available engine
power, enhancing the towing capacity.
► Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
► To ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
Do not place any load in the passenger
compartment outside the protective cover
(especially over the cover).
Regularly check the condition of the
protective cover.
Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and
deterioration of the air quality!
When signs of wear and tear appear, contact
a CITROËN dealer to have it replaced by a
protective cover that meets the specifications
and qualities required by CITROËN and your
vehicle.
