sensor A .If you select the automatic mode(by pressing the "AUTO" control)and leave all of the vents open, opti-mum comfort will be maintained andhumidity and condensation will beremoved regardless of the exteriorclimatic conditions.
The temperature in the passengercompartment cannot be lower thanthe exterior temperature if the airconditioning is not on.
VENTILATION, HEATINGAND AIR CONDITIONINGRECOMMENDATIONS
In order to be effective, the air con-ditioning must be used with the win-dows closed. If the vehicle has beenparked in the sun for a long periodand the interior temperature is veryhigh, ventilate the passenger com-partment with the windows open fora few minutes, then close the win-dows.
To keep the air conditioning systemin good working order it is essentialthat it is operated at least once amonth.
The air conditioning uses the en-gine power during its operation. As aresult, the fuel consumption of thevehicle increases.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-ous use (e.g. towing the maximumload on a steep gradient in high tem-
peratures), switching off the air condi-tioning permits the recovery of enginepower and therefore increases thetowing capacity.
Air inlet
Check that the exterior grille for the airinlet, at the bottom of the windscreen,is clean and free of dead leaves,snow, etc.
When washing the vehicle using a highpressure nozzle, avoid spraying at theair inlet.
Air circulation
Maximum comfort is obtained bymeans of a good distribution of air inthe passenger compartment, both inthe front and in the rear.
To obtain a uniform distribution of
air, take care not to block the ex-terior air intake grille located at thebase of the windscreen, the vents,the air outlets under the front seatsand the air extractor located behindthe flaps in the boot.
The front and rear vents are fittedwith thumbwheels to adjust the airflow and direction. We recommendthat you leave all of the vents open.
Dust filter/Odour filter(active carbon)
There is a filter for excluding odoursand dust.
This filter has to be changed in ac-cordance with the vehicle mainte-nance schedule (see: "Maintenanceand Warranty Guide").

Precautions in use:
The alarm volumetric movementsensor may be disturbed by the air-flow from the programmable heatingwhile in operation.
To avoid a false alarm while using theprogrammable heating, it is recom-
mended to deactivate the volumetricprotection.
Always switch off the program-mable heating while refuelling in
order to avoid the risk of fire orexplosion.
To avoid any risk of intoxication orasphyxiation, the additional heat-ing must not be used, even forshort periods, in an enclosed areasuch as a garage or workshop notequipped with a system for theextraction of exhaust gases.
Do not park the vehicle over in-flammable materials (e.g. drygrass, dead leaves or paper) asthis could present a fire risk.
The programmable heating sys-tem is supplied by the vehicle’sfuel tank. Before use, ensure thatthe remaining fuel level is suffi-cient. If you are using the reservefuel tank, we strongly advise younot to use the programmableheating system.

Fuel quality
A label inside the filler flap tells youwhich type of fuel to use.
The petrol engines are designed torun on RON 95.
However, for better performance(petrol engine), we recommendRON 98.
In winter conditions, starting fromcold may sometimes seem difficult.During periods of very cold weatherwe recommend the use of 95 or 98unleaded petrol in preference to E85so as to ensure optimum startingperformance.
BioFlex engine
A Bioflex vehicle is one that hasbeen designed to operate equallyon unleaded petrol (95 or 98 RON)or on bioethanol (in Europe this is amixture of 85 % ethanol and 15 %unleaded petrol, known as E85).
As a result, no matter how much fuelremains in the tank, and whatever thisfuel may be (unleaded petrol, E85 ora mixture of the two) you can refuel atany time with unleaded petrol (95 or98 RON) or with bioethanol (E85).
There is no problem in running thisvehicle on only unleaded petrol.
If you should put in fuel that isnot suitable for your vehicle'sengine type, it is imperative tohave the tank drained beforeyou start the engine again.

TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN's maincriteria when designing your vehicle,the safety of your children alsodepends on you.
For maximum safety, please followthese precautions:- in accordance with European regu-
lations, all children under the ageof 12 or less than one metre fiftytall must travel in approved childseats suited to their weight ,on seats fitted with a seat belt orISOFIX* mountings,
- statistically, the safest seats inyour vehicle for the transpor-tation of children are the rearseats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kgmust travel in the "rearwards-facing" position both in thefront and in the rear.
CITROËN recommends that chil-dren should travel in the rear seats of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to theage of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over theage of 2.
A THREE POINT SEAT BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seatis installed on the front passengerseat , it is essential that the passen-ger air bag is disarmed. Otherwise,
the child would risk being seri-ously injured or killed if the airbag were to inflate.
"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seatis installed on the front passengerseat , adjust the vehicle's seat to theintermediate longitudinal positionwith the seat back upright and leavethe passenger air bag armed.

guarantees you fast, reliable andsafe fitting of the child seat in yourvehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fittedwith two locks which are securedeasily on the two rings A or C , fol-lowing installation of the guides(supplied with the seat).Some also have anupper strap whichis attached to the ringB , D orE .
To attach this strap in the front, raisethe vehicle seat's head restraintand pass the upper strap betweenthe rods of the head restraint.Then fix the hook on the ring B andtighten the upper strap.
To attach this strap in the rear, removethe vehicle seat's head restraint andstow it. Lift the cover on the rear shelf
(Saloon) or the roof (Tourer). Thenfix the hook on the ring D or E andtighten the upper strap.
The incorrect installation of a childseat in a vehicle compromises thechild's protection in the event of anaccident.
For information regarding theISOFIX child seats which can beinstalled in your vehicle, consultthe summary table for the locationof the ISOFIX child seats.
* According to country and currentlocal legislation.
Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt mustbe positioned on the child's shoulderwithout touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat
belt passes correctly over the child'sthighs.
CITROËN recommends the use ofa booster seat which has a back, fittedwith a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone andunsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehiclewhich is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,- the keys within reach of childreninside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of thedoors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from therays of the sun, fit side blinds on therear windows.
The incorrect installation of a childseat in a vehicle compromises thechild's protection in the event of anaccident.
Remember to fasten the seat beltsor the child seat harnesseskeepingthe slack in relation to the child'sbody to a minimum, even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-wards-facing" child seat, ensure thatthe back of the child seat is in con-tact with the back of the vehicle'sseat and that the head restraint doesnot cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-moved, ensure that it is stored orattached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle inthe event of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 mustnot travel in the "forwards-facing"position on the front passenger seat,unless the rear seats are already oc-cupied by other children, cannot beused or are absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag* whena "rearwards-facing" child seat isinstalled on the front seat. Otherwise,the child would risk being seriouslyinjured or killed if the air bag wereto inflate.

Group of supplementary systemswhich help you to obtain optimumbraking in complete safety in emer-gency situations:- the anti-lock braking system
(ABS),- the electronic brake force distri-
bution (EBFD),- the emergency braking assist-
ance (EBA).
Anti-lock braking systemand electronic brake forcedistribution
Linked systems which improve the
stability and manoeuvrability of yourvehicle when braking, in particularon poor or slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comesinto operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.Normal operation of the ABS maymake itself felt by slight vibration ofthe brake pedal.
When braking in an emergency,press very firmly without releasingthe pressure.
If this warning light comeson, accompanied by an au-dible signal and a messageon the instrument panel dis-
play, it indicates a malfunction of theanti-lock braking system which could
result in loss of control of the vehiclewhen braking.
If this warning light comeson, together with the STOP and ABS warning lights, ac-companied by an audible
signal and a message on the instru-ment panel display, it indicates amalfunction of the electronic brakeforce distribution which could resultin loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking. You MUST stop as soon as it issafe to do so. In both cases, contact a CITROËNdealer.
When replacing wheels (tyres andrims), ensure that they conform tothe manufacturer's recommenda-tions.
System which, in an emergency,enables you to obtain the optimumbraking pressure more quickly, thusreducing the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at whichthe brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction inthe resistance of the pedal and anincrease in braking efficiency.
When braking in an emergency,press firmly without releasing thepressure.

Press the "ESP OFF" button, lo-cated in the centre of the fascia.
If this warning light comeson on the instrument paneland the indicator light on thebutton comes on, this indi-cates that the ASR and ESPsystems are disarmed.
Snow driving assistance(SNOW MOTION)
Your vehicle has a system to helpdriving on snow: SNOW MOTION. This automatic system continuouslychecks for situations of difficult sur-face adhesion that could make it dif-ficult to move off or make progresson deep fresh snow or compactedsnow.In these situations, the SNOWMOTION system takes over fromthe ASR system by optimising theamount of wheel slip to provide thebest traction and trajectory control,even without snow tyres and with orwithout chains.
ground clearance to the intermediateposition improves further the abilityto make progress in deep snow (seethe relevant paragraph).In extremely severe conditions (snowon top of ice, sand, deep mud…), itcan be useful to deactivate theESP/ASR systems to allow a degree ofwheel spin and so recover grip.

To gain access to it:
open the boot,
raise the floor,
remove the towing eye from the jack box.
On the front bumper, unclip thecover by pressing at the top.
Screw the towing eye in fully.
Install the towbar.
Switch on the hazard warninglights on the towed vehicle.
Place the gear lever in neutral(position N on the automaticgearbox).
On the rear bumper, unclip thecover by pressing:
- on the right (Saloon),
- at the bottom (Tourer).
Screw the towing eye in fully. Install the towbar.
Switch on the hazard warninglights on the towed vehicle.
Failure to observe this special con-dition could result in damage tocertain braking components andthe absence of braking assistancethe next time the engine is started.
When towing with all four wheels onthe ground, always use a towbar.
When towing with only two wheelson the ground, always use profes-sional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,there is no longer any braking orsteering assistance.

TOWING A TRAILER, ACARAVAN, ETC.
Towbar suited to the attachment of atrailer or caravan with additional sig-nalling and lighting.
If the trailer is not fitted bya CITROËN dealer, it isimperative that it is fitted
using the electrical pre-equipmentinstalled at the rear of the vehicle,in accordance with the manufactur-er's instructions.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increasesthe temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled,its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed. To lower the engine speed re-

Your vehicle is primarily designedfor transporting people and luggage,but it may also be used for towing atrailer.We recommend the use of originalCITROËN towbars and their har-nesses that have been tested andapproved from the design stageof your vehicle, and that the fit-ting of the towbar is entrusted to aCITROËN dealer.
Driving with a trailer subjects thetowing vehicle to more significant
stress and its driver must be par-ticularly careful.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailerso that the heaviest items are asclose as possible to the axle andthe nose weight approaches themaximum permitted without ex-ceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,thus reducing engine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by10 % and so on for every 1 000 me-tres of altitude.Refer to the "Technical Data" sectionfor details of the weights and towingloads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
Take into account the increasedsensitivity to side wind.
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature.In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature.
If the warning light andthe STOP warning lightcome on, stop the vehicleand switch off the engineas soon as possible.
BrakingTowing a trailer increases the brak-ing distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of thetowing vehicle and of the trailer,observing the recommendedpressures.
Lights
Check the electrical signalling onthe trailer.
The rear parking assistance willbe deactivated automatically if anoriginal CITROËN towbar is used.
