Comfort -> Dual-zone digital air conditioning for Your Citroen C3 Picasso SUV Second Generation (2013-2017)

Comfort  
Dual-zone digital air conditioning  
The air conditioning only operates when the engine is running.  
Automatic operation  
1. Automatic comfort programme  
2. Driver's side adjustment  
3. Passenger's side adjustment  
F
Press the "AUTO" button. The  
indicator lamp in the button  
comes on.  
The driver and front passenger can  
each adjust the temperature to their  
requirements.  
We recommend the use of this mode: it permits  
automatic and optimised adjustment of all  
of the functions, passenger compartment  
temperature, air flow, air distribution and air  
recirculation, in accordance with the comfort  
value that you have chosen.  
The value indicated on the display corresponds  
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in  
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.  
F
Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to the right  
respectively to decrease or increase this value.  
This system is designed to operate effectively  
in all seasons, with the windows closed.  
A setting around the value 21 provides  
optimum comfort. However, depending on  
your requirements, a setting between 18 and  
24 is normal.  
You are advised to avoid a left / right setting  
difference of more than 3.  
When the engine is cold, to prevent  
too great a distribution of cold air, the  
air flow will reach its optimum level  
gradually.  
In cold weather, it favours the  
distribution of warm air to the  
windscreen, side windows and footwells  
only.  
On entering the vehicle, if the interior  
temperature is much colder or warmer  
than the comfort value, there is no  
need to change the value displayed in  
order to obtain the comfort required.  
The system corrects the difference  
in temperature automatically and as  
quickly as possible.
