This video demonstrates how to temporarily fix the air conditioning lever mechanism of a Citroen C4 Picasso MK1. The issue is located in the passenger footwell; you need to remove the panel at the bottom, which is held by plastic pins and a single screw, making it relatively easy to take off. The YouTuber identified the problem as a lever that is not functioning correctly due to a faulty motor.

However, they found a way to avoid replacing it! They use a zip tie to hold it up (the correct position for summer) and remove it in winter when it needs to be down for heating.
