Comfort -> Digital air conditioning for Your Citroen Ds3 SUV Second Generation (2018-2025)

On entering the vehicle, if the interior  
is very cold or hot, there is no need to  
change the value displayed in order  
to reach the required level of comfort.  
The system corrects the temperature  
difference automatically and as quickly  
as possible.  
Digital air conditioning  
The air conditioning operates when the engine is running, as well as in STOP mode with Stop & Start.  
Automatic operation  
For your comfort, when the engine is  
switched off, the settings are retained  
until the engine is switched on again.  
To prevent too great a distribution of  
cold air when the engine is cold, the air  
flow will only reach its optimum level  
gradually.  
3. Automatic "visibility"  
programme  
The automatic comfort programme  
may not be sufficient for rapid  
demisting or defrosting of the  
windscreen and side windows  
(humidity, several passengers, ice,  
etc.).  
1. Automatic "comfort"  
programme  
2. Temperature adjustment  
In this case, select the automatic visibility  
programme. The button 3 indicator lamp  
comes on.  
The value indicated on the display corresponds  
to a level of comfort and not to a temperature in  
degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.  
Press the "AUTO" button.  
The "AUTO" symbol is displayed.  
The system automatically controls the air  
conditioning and the flow of air and provides  
optimum air distribution to the windscreen and  
side windows. It deactivates air recirculation 5.  
To exit this programme, press button 3 again  
or "AUTO", the indicator lamp on the button  
goes off and "AUTO" is displayed.  
Press the "5" and "6" buttons to  
change this value. A setting around  
the value 21 enables optimum  
comfort to be obtained. However,  
depending on your requirements, a  
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.  
We recommend that you use this mode.  
It provides optimised automatic control of  
all of the following functions: passenger  
compartment temperature, air flow, air  
distribution and air intake, in accordance with  
the comfort value that you have chosen.  
This system is designed to operate effectively  
in all seasons, with the windows closed.  
With Stop & Start, when demisting has  
been activated, the STOP mode is not  
available.

Automatic operation of the air conditioning is  
resumed when the button is pressed again.  
The symbol "A/C" is displayed.  
Air recirculation enables the passenger  
compartment to be isolated from exterior  
odours and smoke.  
Press this button again or press the "AUTO"  
button to resume automatic management of  
the intake of air. The air recirculation symbol 5  
goes off.  
Switching to manual mode may not be  
suitable (temperature, humidity, odour,  
condensation) and does not provide  
optimum comfort.  
For maximum cooling or heating of the

minimum 14 or maximum 28 values.  
Avoid prolonged recirculation of  
interior air (risk of condensation or  
deterioration of the air quality).
