AUDIBLE REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, installed in the rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle which enters the
field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind the
vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
This system does not take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver. Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.
O p e r a t i n g f a u l t
If this warning light or the service
warning light comes on on the
instrument panel, accompanied
by a message on the display,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow.
E n g a g e r e v e r s e g e a r
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed.
You are advised to obtain a towbar
recommended by CITROËN and have it
installed by a professional.
If anomalies are detected on engaging
reverse gear, the warning light comes on,
possibly accompanied by a message on the
display.

Ventilation
CORRECT USE OF THE AIR CONDITIONING
For even air distribution, ensure that the
exterior air intake grille located at the base
of the windscreen is not obstructed and that
the side and central vents, the air outlets on
the floor and the air extractor at the rear are
open.
The air conditioning is useful in all seasons
as it eliminates condensation and air
humidity. Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order.
Have the filter elements (air filter and
passenger compartment filter) replaced
regularly. If you drive in a dusty environment,
have them replaced twice as often.
It is normal that the condensation created by
the air conditioning system results in a flow
of water which may form a puddle under the
vehicle when parked.
If the system does not produce cold air, do
not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer . VENTS
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are:
- 2 adjustable central vents,
- 2 adjustable and closing side vents,
- 2 vents directed towards the floor of the vehicle.
In order to be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the windows closed.
However, if the interior temperature remains
high after a prolonged period parked in the
sun, do not hesitate to ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few minutes.

Practical information
LOAD SPACE LAYOUT
Stowing rings
There are 6 stowing rings on the rear floor to
secure your loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp
braking, you are advised to place heavy
objects as far forwards towards the driver's
seat as possible.
Storage tray
A storage tray is provided at the rear left of
the load space.
Torch
A magnetic torch is provided at the rear right
of the load space.
Remove the torch from its base by
pressing the button then pivoting the torch
downwards by 90 degrees.
To switch on the torch, slide the switch
forwards.
To change the 4 storage batteries (NiMH
type), remove the protective cover from the
torch.
To put the torch back in place, engage
it in the notches on the base and pivot it
upwards.
Ladder type vertical partition
Behind the driver's seat, a ladder type
vertical partition protects the driver against
the risk of load movement.
Partitions
Panel, glazed, mid-height panel with grille
and modular vertical grille type partitions are
offered to complement your light van.
The transportation of passengers in the
load space is not permitted.
It is advisable to immobilise the load
by securing it firmly using the stowing
rings on the floor. The torch's storage batteries recharge
automatically while driving.
An additional lamp is installed in the centre
of the torch base (refer to the "Interior
