INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS

Service indicator

System which informs the driver when
the next service is due, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.

The point at which the service is due is
calculated from the last indicator zero
reset. It is determined by two parame­ters:

- the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last ser­vice.

5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner is switched off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.

Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example: 400 miles (900 km) remain
before the next service is due.

For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:

5 seconds after the ignition is switched

INSTRUMENTS and CONTROLS

Following this operation, if you wish
to disconnect the battery, lock the

vehicle and wait at least fi ve minutes

for the zero reset to be taken into ac­count.

Service indicator zero reset

After each service, the service indicator
must be reset to zero.

The procedure for resetting to zero is as
follows:

 switch off the ignition,
 press and hold the trip distance re-

corder zero reset button,

 switch on the ignition; the distance

recorder display begins a count­down,

 when the display indicates "=0" , re-

lease the button; the spanner disap­pears.

The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend­ing on the driver's driving habits.

Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

Service overdue

For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes to
indicate that the service must be carried
out as soon as possible.

Example: the service is overdue by

COMFORT

VENTILATION

System which creates and maintains
comfortable conditions in the vehicle's
passenger compartment.

Air treatment

The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by
the driver:

- direct arrival in the passenger com­partment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit
(heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit
(air conditioning).

The temperature control enables you to
obtain the level of comfort required by
mixing the air of the various circuits.

The air distribution control enables you
to diffuse the air in the passenger com­partment combining several air vents.

The air fl ow control enables you to

increase or reduce the speed of the
ventilation blower.

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger com-

partment is fi ltered and originates either

from the outside via the grille located at
the base of the windscreen or from the
inside in air recirculation mode.

Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A on the cen-
tre console. Depending on the model,
the functions offered are:

- the level of comfort required,

- air fl ow,

- air distribution,

- demisting and defrosting,

- manual or automatic air conditioning
controls.

Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting or defrosting
vents.

2. Front side window demisting or de-
frosting vents.

3. Side adjustable air vents.

4. Central adjustable air vents.

5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

6. Air outlets to the rear footwells.

COMFORT

The air conditioning system does
not contain chlorine and does not
present any danger to the ozone
layer.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on opera­tion and maintenance below:

 If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been

parked in the sun for a considerable time, fi rst ventilate the passenger

compartment for a few minutes.

Place the air fl ow control at a suffi cient level to provide an adequate renewal

of air in the passenger compartment.

 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 passenger
compartment on both sides of the rear shelf.

 Do not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard (behind the

instrument panel); this is used for regulation of the air conditioning system.

 Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a

month to keep it in good working order.

 Ensure that the passenger compartment fi lter is in good condition and

have the fi lter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks" section).

We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment fi lter.

Thanks to its second special active fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation

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.

 If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a

CITROËN dealer.

When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning saves engine power and so improves towing
capacity.

The condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is perfectly normal.

COMFORT

When the engine is cold, to prevent
too great a distribution of cold air,

the air fl ow will reach its optimum

level gradually.
In cold weather, it favours the dis-

tribution 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.

The air conditioning only operates when
the engine is running.

The driver and his front pas­senger can each adjust the
temperature to their require­ments.

 Turn control 2 or 3 to the left or to

the right respectively to decrease or
increase this value.

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.

4. Automatic visibility programme

The automatic comfort pro-

gramme may not be suffi cient

to quickly demist or defrost
the windscreen and side win­dows (humidity, several pas­sengers, ice, etc.).

 In this case, select the automatic

visibility programme.

The system automatically controls the

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 control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environ­ment.

Take them to an approved collec­tion 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.
