Ventilation
Have the heater checked at least
once a year at the beginning of winter.
Maintenance and repairs should only be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer. Use
recommended replacement parts only. Good practice
To avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,
even for short periods, in an enclosed space
such as a garage or workshop which is not
fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable
surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),
there is a risk of fire.
The temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel
tank. Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator
light is not at reserve.

Rear suspension
ERGONOMICS and COMFORT
3
Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empty.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are complied with. On board, the increasing or lightening of the
load on the vehicle's platform is detected by
two height sensors. When all of the doors
are closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
compensation and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of the automatic correction
The control which permits deactivation of the
automatic control is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
Two types of suspension are offered.
You must deactivate the automatic
correction manually in the following
situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Rear suspension with pneumatic compensation
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle
irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. Two functions
1. Automatic correction
2. Manual correction
1 - Automatic correction ofthe height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of
the rear platform of your vehicle.
The automatic compensation is temporarily
inactive:
- if a door/the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red
light (brake pedal pressed). With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.
Return to automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to automatic correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
A red warning light on your
i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l fl a s h e s i f t h e
height is not at its optimum level and
requires correction, drive slowly until
this warning light is switched off.

Deactivation of the manual correction Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery charge. Parking for a long duration
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground
which could present a potential obstacle as
your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use,
the height of the platform may change due to
the automatic compensation on unlocking or
on opening one of your vehicle's doors.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.
Return to manual correction
You must deactivate the manual
correction in the following situations:
- when working underneath the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when the vehicle is being transported by lorry, train, ferry, boat, ... Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,
- too high, risks unstable driving.
If you start and the warning light flashes, to
switch it off:
- correct the position of the manual control which is still at the lower or
upper limit,
- or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h), until the compensation
returns to automatic mode. Warning light
Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to manual correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.

Manual interior mirror
The interior mirror has two positions:
- day (normal),
- night (anti-dazzle).
To change from one to the other, push or
pull the lever on the lower edge of the mirror.
MONITORING MIRROR
This mirror, placed on top of the central
mirror, enables the driver or front passenger
to observe all the rear seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint, it's manual
adjustment is simple and provides a view of
the rear interior of the vehicle.
It can also be adjusted for improved visibility
during manoeuvres or when overtaking.
REAR WINDOWS
2nd row side windows
If fitted on your vehicle, the 2nd row side
windows can be opened.
Squeeze the two controls then move the
window sideways. 4 notches are available.
While driving, the window must be closed or
secured on one of the 4 notches.
3rd row rear quarter lights
These are fixed.

HANDBRAKE When parking on a slope, direct your wheels
towards the pavement and pull the handbrake.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded. HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS
Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lights should only be
used in dangerous situations, when stopping
in an emergency or when driving in unusual
conditions.
DRIVING SAFETY
Applying
Pull the handbrake to immobilise your
vehicle.
Check that the handbrake is applied firmly
before leaving the vehicle. If the handbrake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning light which
comes on on the instrument panel.
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button to lower
the handbrake.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS - EBFD)
The ABS and EBFD (electronic brake force
distribution) systems improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle on
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
The ABS prevents locking of the wheels,
the EBFD provides control of the braking
pressure wheel by wheel.
Good practice
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock. It does not reduce the braking
distance.
On very slippery surfaces (ice, oil, etc...)
the ABS may increase the braking distance.
When braking in an emergency, do not
hesitate to press the brake pedal firmly,
without releasing the pressure, even on a
slippery surface, you will then be able to
continue to manoeuvre the vehicle to avoid
an obstacle.
Normal operation of the ABS may be felt by
slight vibration of the brake pedal.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are recommended by
CITROËN. If this warning light comes on,
together with the brake and STOP
warning lights, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message
on the display, it indicates a malfunction of
the electronic brake force distribution which
could result in a loss of control of the vehicle
on braking.
Stop immediately.
EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM (EBA)
In an emergency, this system enables the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, press the pedal firmly without
releasing it.
It is triggered by the speed at which the brake
pedal is activated.
This alters the resistance of the brake pedal
under your foot.
If this warning light comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message on the display, it
indicates a malfunction of the ABS
which could result in a loss of control of the
vehicle on braking. In both cases, contact a CITROËN dealer.
To prolong the operation of the emergency
braking assistance system: keep your foot
on the brake pedal.
