Ease of use and comfort  
Ventilation  
A. Sunshine sensor.  
B. Soft air diffusion grille.  
The soft air diffusion grille located in the  
centre of the dashboard provides optimum  
distribution of the air for the front seats.  
This system eliminates unpleasant air  
currents while maintaining an optimum  
temperature in the passenger compartment.  
To open the soft air diffusion grille, turn the  
wheel upwards.  
To close the soft air diffusion grille, turn the  
wheel fully downwards.  
In very hot weather, to obtain more  
satisfactory central and side ventilation, it  
is advisable to close the diffused air grille.  
C. Cooled glove box.  
D. Rear passenger vents.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

To obtain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles  
located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents and the air outlets, as well  
as the air extractor located in the boot.  
Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation  
of the air conditioning system.  
Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month  
to keep it in perfect working order.  
Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter  
elements replaced regularly.  
We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its  
special active additive, it contributes to the purification of the air breathed by the  
occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic  
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).  
To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to  
have it checked regularly as recommended in the maintenance and warranty guide.  
If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or  
a qualified workshop.

The air conditioning system does not  
contain chlorine and does not present  
any danger to the ozone layer.  
The condensation created by the air  
conditioning results in a discharge  
of water under the vehicle which is  
perfectly normal.

Stop & Start  
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.  
The heating and air conditioning  
systems only work when the engine is  
running.  
To maintain a comfortable temperature  
in the passenger compartment, you can  
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start  
system.
