mation of mist on the windscreen and

side windows.
The recirculation of interior air insulates
the passenger compartment from exte-

rior odours and smoke.
Return to exterior air intake as soon as

possible to prevent deterioration of the

air quality and the formation of mist.

COMFORT

DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

The air conditioning operates when the

engine is running, as well as in STOP

mode with Stop & Start.

For your comfort, when the en-

gine is switched off, the settings

are retained until the engine is

switched on again.

To prevent too great a distribu-

tion of cold air when the engine

is cold, the air ﬂ ow will only reach

its optimum level gradually.

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.

Automatic operation

1. Automatic "comfort" programme

Press the "AUTO"

button. The

"AUTO"

symbol is displayed.

We recommend that you use this mode.

It provides optimised automatic control

of all of the following functions: passen-

ger compartment temperature, air ﬂ ow,

air distribution and air intake, in accor-

dance with the comfort value that you

have chosen.

This system is designed to operate ef-

fectively in all seasons, with the windows

closed.

2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display cor-

responds to a level of comfort and not

to a temperature in degrees Celsius or

Fahrenheit.

Press the "  "

and "  " but-

tons to change this value. A

setting around the value 21

enables optimum comfort to

be obtained. However, de-

pending on your requirements,

a setting between 18 and 24

is usual.

3. Automatic "visibility" programme

The automatic comfort pro-

gramme may not be sufﬁ cient

for rapid demisting or defrost-

ing of the windscreen and side

windows (humidity, several

passengers, ice, etc.).

In this case, select the automatic visibility

programme. The button 3 indicator lamp

comes on.

The system automatically controls the

air conditioning and the ﬂ ow of air and

provides optimum air distribution to the

windscreen and side windows. It deacti-

vates air recirculation  5 .
To exit this programme, press button  3
again or  "AUTO"

, the indicator lamp on

the button goes off and "AUTO" is dis-

played.

Manual override

It is possible to adjust one or more func-

tions manually while leaving the other

functions in automatic mode.
The "AUTO"

symbol switches off.

To return to automatic mode, press the

"AUTO"

button.

Switching to manual mode may

not be suitable (temperature,

humidity, odour, condensation)

and does not provide optimum

comfort.

COMFORT

4. Air conditioning on/off

Press this button to switch off

the air conditioning.

Stopping the air conditioning may cause

some problems (humidity, misting).

Automatic operation of the air condi-

tioning is resumed when the button is

pressed again. The symbol "A/C" is

displayed.

5. Air intake/Air recirculation

Press this button for recircula-

tion of the interior air. The air

recirculation symbol 5 is dis-

played.

Air recirculation enables the passenger

compartment to be isolated from exte-

rior odours and smoke.

6. Air distribution adjustment

Avoid prolonged recirculation of

interior air (risk of condensation

or deterioration of the air quality).

Pressing this button several

times in succession enables

the air ﬂ ow to be directed in

turn towards:

the windscreen and the side windows

(demisting or defrosting),

- the windscreen, side windows and

air vents,

- the windscreen, the side windows,

the air vents and the footwells,

- the windscreen, the side windows

and the footwells,

the footwells,

- the air vents and the footwells,

- the air vents.

7. Air ﬂ ow adjustment

Press the "full fan" button to

increase the air ﬂ ow.

The air ﬂ ow symbol, the fan, ﬁ lls pro-

gressively according to the value re-

quested.

Switching the system off

Avoid driving for long periods

with the air conditioning switched

off (risk of misting and reduction

of the air quality in the cabin).

Press the air ﬂ ow "empty fan"

button 7

until the fan symbol

disappears.

This action switches off all of the func-

tions of the air conditioning system.

Thermal comfort is no longer controlled.

A slight ﬂ ow of air resulting from the

movement of the vehicle, remains per-

ceptible however.

Pressing the air ﬂ ow "full fan" but-

ton 7 or on "AUTO"

reactivates the

system with the values set before it was

switched off.

Press the "empty fan" button

to decrease the air ﬂ ow.

For maximum cooling or heating
of the cabin, it is possible to go

beyond the minimum 14 or maxi-

mum 28 values.
 Press the blue button 2 un-

til "LO"

is displayed or the

red button 2 until "HI" is dis-

played.

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.

REAR SCREEN DEMIST -
DEFROST

Switching on

The rear screen demisting/defrosting

can only operate when the engine is

running.


Press this button to demist/defrost

the rear screen and (depending on

version) the door mirrors. The indi-

cator lamp associated with the but-

ton comes on.

Switching off

The demisting/defrosting switches off

automatically to prevent an excessive

consumption of current.


switched off automatically, dem-

isting/defrosting will resume next

time the engine is switched on.



Switch off the demisting/de-

frosting of the rear screen

and door mirrors as soon as

appropriate as lower current
consumption results in re-

duced fuel consumption.

With Stop & Start, when dem-

isting has been activated, the

STOP mode is not available.

COMFORT

Anti-theft protection

  Electronic engine immobiliser
The  key  contains  an  electronic  chip
which  has  a  special  code.  When  the
ignition  is  switched  on,  this  code  must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the  engine  management  system  a  few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and  prevents  starting  of  the  engine  by
anyone who does not have the key.

In the event of a malfunc-
tion, you are informed by
lighting of this warning lamp,

an audible signal and a message on the
multifunction screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.

Ignition switch

Do not attach any heavy objects
to the key as this could weigh
down on it when in the ignition
switch and cause a fault.

  Key reminder
If  the  key  is  left  in  the  igni-
tion  switch,  an  audible  signal
sounds when the driver's door is
opened.

Locating your vehicle

 Press the closed pad-

lock to locate your locked
vehicle in a car park.

This is indicated by lighting of the cour-

tesy lamps and ﬂ ashing of the direction

indicators for a few seconds.

ACCESS

Remote control problem

Following  disconnection  of  the  vehicle
battery, replacement of the remote con-
trol  battery  or  in  the  event  of  a  remote
control  malfunction,  you  can  no  longer
unlock, lock or locate your vehicle.
      First of all, use the key in the lock to

unlock or lock your vehicle.

ACCESS

Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's V5 registration document and

your personal identiﬁ cation documents.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to retrieve the key code and the
transponder code required to order a replacement key.

         Do  not  throw  the  remote  con-
trol  batteries  away,  they  contain
metals  which  are  harmful  to  the
environment.
Take  them  to  an  approved  col-
lection point.

Remote control

The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate
it while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the
vehicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even

when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.

Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-

ment by the emergency services more difﬁ cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the
ignition when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.

Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modiﬁ cations to the electronic engine immobiliser

system; this could cause malfunctions.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the key codes memorised by a CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only ones which can start the vehicle.
