Ease of use and comfort -> Rear screen demisting/defrosting for Your Citroen C3 Aircross SUV Second Generation (2024-2026)

Ease of use and comfort  
– windscreen, side windows and footwells.  
– windscreen and side windows (demisting or  
defrosting).  
– windscreen, side windows, central vents and  
side vents.  
►ꢀ Press button 6 to recirculate the interior air  
or allow the intake of exterior air.  
►ꢀ Depending on equipment, turn the  
knob or press this button to activate/  
deactivate the mode (confirmed by the  
illumination/extinction of the indicator lamp).  
The mode automatically manages the air  
conditioning, air flow, air intake and distributes  
ventilation optimally to the windscreen and  
side windows.  
Avoid the prolonged recirculation of  
interior air in order to ensure a good  
supply of fresh air and reduce the risk of  
misting (especially when several passengers  
are on board or when the air is cold/damp,  
etc.).  
Air flow adjustment  
►ꢀ Push the button 9 up to increase the air flow  
or down to decrease it.  
With Stop & Start, when demisting has  
been activated, STOP mode is not  
available.  
The air flow symbol is filled in or emptied  
gradually, according to the value set.  
Air conditioning on / off  
The air conditioning system is designed to  
operate effectively in all seasons, with the  
windows closed.  
Maximum air conditioning  
In wintry conditions, before moving  
off, it is essential to remove any snow  
or ice from the windscreen around the  
camera.  
Otherwise, the operation of the equipment  
using the camera may be affected.  
This function automatically adjusts the  
temperature setting to the lowest possible, the  
air distribution towards the central and side air  
vents, the air flow to maximum and activates  
interior air recirculation.  
It is used to:  
– lower the temperature in summer.  
– increase the effectiveness of the demisting in  
winter, above 3°C.  
►ꢀ Press button 8 to turn the air conditioning  
on/off.  
►ꢀ Press button 5 to activate/deactivate the  
function.  
The air conditioning cannot operate  
when the air flow adjustment is set to  
OFF.

Recirculation of interior air  
The intake of exterior air helps avoid and  
eliminate misting of the windscreen and side  
windows.  
This demisting/defrosting only works with the  
engine running.  
The recirculation of interior air allows the  
passenger compartment to be isolated from  
polluted air in areas of heavy traffic and inside  
tunnels.  
Depending on version, it also demists/defrosts  
the door mirrors.  
►ꢀ Press this button to activate/  
deactivate the function (confirmed by  
the indicator lamp coming on/switching off).  
The function can be activated whatever the  
outside temperature may be.  
Front demisting/  
defrosting  
This mode allows the windscreen and side  
windows to be demisted or defrosted as quickly  
as possible.  
When required, this function also  
allows faster heating or cooling of the  
air in the passenger compartment.

Ease of use and comfort  
The period of operation depends on the outside  
temperature.  
Demisting/defrosting therefore switches  
off automatically to prevent an excessive  
consumption of electrical current.

Programming  
3
The programming is carried out from a  
smartphone via the MyCitroën App  
application.  
For more information on Remotely  
operable additional functions, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
The pre-conditioning sequence begins  
approximately 45 minutes before the  
programmed time and is maintained for  
15 minutes after.  
Heated windscreen  
►ꢀ With the engine running, press this button  
to activate/deactivate the function (confirmed  
by an indicator lamp).  
The function is activated when the outside  
temperature drops below 0°C. It is deactivated  
automatically when the engine is switched off.  
You can set multiple programmes.  
Each one is saved in the system.  
To optimise the driving range, we  
recommend starting a programme while the  
vehicle is connected.  
In cold weather, this system heats the bottom  
of the windscreen, as well as the area alongside  
the left-hand windscreen pillar.  
Without changing the settings for the air  
conditioning system, it allows faster release  
of the windscreen wiper blades when they  
are frozen to the windscreen and helps avoid  
the accumulation of snow resulting from the  
operation of the windscreen wipers.  
Temperature pre-  
The fan noise that occurs during  
temperature pre-conditioning is  
perfectly normal.  
conditioning (Electric)  
This function allows you to programme the  
temperature in the passenger compartment  
to reach a pre-defined, non-modifiable  
temperature (approx. 21°C or 23°C depending  
on version) before you enter the vehicle, on the  
days and at the times of your choice.
