Control Panel; Air Distribution - CITROEN DS3 Handbook

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