Trip computer, a few definitions

When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), 
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is 
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).

Range

(miles or km)
The distance which can still be 
travelled with the fuel remaining 
in the tank (related to the 
average fuel consumption over 
the last few miles (kilometres) 
travelled).

Current fuel  
consumption

(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.

Average fuel 
consumption

(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.

Distance travelled

(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.

Average speed

(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.

Distance remaining to 
destination

(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be 
travelled to the final destination. It 
is either calculated instantly by the 
navigation system, if guidance is 
activated, or entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes 
are displayed in place of the digits.

If dashes are displayed continuously 
while driving in place of the digits, 
contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.

This value may vary following a change 
in the style of driving or the relief, 
resulting in a significant change in the 
current fuel consumption.

This function is only displayed from 
20 mph (30 km/h).

Ventilation

Air flow paths

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 flow control enables you to increase or 
reduce the speed of the ventilation fan.

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compartment 
is filtered 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 centre 
console. Depending on the model, the 
functions offered are:

the level of comfort required,

-  air flow,

air distribution,

demisting and defrosting,

manual or digital air conditioning controls.

Air distribution

1.  Windscreen demisting or defrosting vents.
2.

  Front side window demisting or defrosting 

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.

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

Comfort

44

C3Picasso_en_Chap03_confort_ed01-2015

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the guidelines on operation and 
maintenance below:
F  If the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the 

sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the passenger compartment for a  
few minutes.

 

Place the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in 
the passenger compartment.

F

  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.

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

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

F

  Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it 

in good working order.

F  Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter 

elements replaced regularly (see the "Checks" section).

  

We recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its 
second special active filter, 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).

F  To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have 

it checked regularly.

F  If the system does not produce cold air, do not use it 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.

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.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning

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

The control button is 
located on the heating 
or air conditioning 
system control panel.

Rear screen demist/defrost

Switching on

The rear screen demist/defrost can only 
operate when the engine is running.
F  Press this button to demist/defrost the rear 

screen and the door mirrors. The indicator 
lamp associated with the button comes on.

Switching off

The demist/defrost switches off automatically to 
prevent an excessive consumption of current.
F  It is possible to stop the demist/defrost 

operation before it is switched off 
automatically by pressing the button again. 
The indicator lamp associated with the 
button switches off.

F

  Switch off the demist/defrost 

of the rear screen and door 
mirrors as soon as you consider 
this possible as lower current 
consumption results in reduced fuel 
consumption.
