Operation
A few moments after the ignition has been
switched on, the spanner indicating a
service operation lights up; the display for
the total distance recorder tells you (in round
figures) the distance remaining before the
next service. A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation

A few seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the oil level is displayed, then the total
distance recorder resumes normal operation
and the spanner remains lit. This indicates
that a service should be carried out shortly.
Service overdue
With the engine running the spanner
remains lit until the service has been
carried out.

The distance remaining before the next

Example: 4 800 miles/km remain before
the next service is due. When the ignition

Seats
EASE OF USE AND COMFORT

FRONT SEATS
Depending on the version and configuration
of your vehicle, different front seats are
fitted, either:
- a driver's seat and a passenger seat,
- an individual driver's seat and a two-seat passenger bench.
Depending on the models, the following
adjustments are available: 3 - Driver's seat height adjustment
Depending on the version and configuration
of your vehicle, you have either:
- a passive adjustment: pull the handle
upwards then take your weight off the
seat to raise, or push on the seat to
lower,
2 - Seat back angle adjustment
Pull the lever upwards and set the required
angle.
1 - Forwards/backwards adjustment
Lift the bar and slide the seat forwards or
backwards.

Rear suspension
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. irrespective of the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values. 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.
REAR SUSPENSION
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, ...
Two types of suspension are offered.
Rear suspension with pneumatic
compensation
I f fi t t e d o n y o u r v e h i c l e , t h i s t y p e o f
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle
1. Automatic correction
2. Manual correction
1 - Automatic correction of the height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height of the
rear platform of your vehicle. 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.
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.
Return to automatic correction With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
Two functions
Return to automatic correction is confirmed
by the diode which is switched off.
Deactivation is confirmed by the diode
which is lit. It remains lit for approximately
30 seconds.

GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
"Rearwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats up to the
age of 2.
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, it
is essential that the passenger airbag is
disarmed. Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to inflate. "Forwards-facing"
Recommended on the rear seats over the
age of 2.
When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat, leave
the passenger airbag armed.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
The rules for carrying children are specific to
each country. Consult the current legislation
in your country.
Please consult the list of seats approved
in your country. The Isofix mountings, the
rear seats, the passenger airbag and the
deactivation of this airbag depend on the
version sold.
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
- all children under the age of 12 or less
than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt or
ISOFIX mountings.
- statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of children
are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearwards-facing" position
both in the front and in the rear,
- the passenger must not travel with a child on his lap.

ACCESSORIES

For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
