Gearboxes and steering wheel
Manual mode
Manual sequential gear changing.
- Select gear lever position M
,
- push the gear lever towards the + sign
to change up, from 1 through to 6,
- conversely, push the gear lever towards
the - sign to change down.
You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual mode) at any time.
In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if the
vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
If they do not, the vehicle will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects first gear.
Good practice
Never select position N
when the vehicle is
moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless the
vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise
braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
- if you force the gear lever from
position P
to another position in the
event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R
, D
or M
is selected the
vehicle moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running
.
Operating fault
Any operating fault is indicated by an
audible signal, accompanied by the
message "Automatic gear fault"
in the
screen.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when changing
from P
to R
and from N
to R
(this will not
cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

- in the blue zone, triggers
cool air,
The air distribution can be
modulated by placing the control
in the intermediate positions,
marked "●". The force of the blown air, from
the vents, varies from 1 to the
strongest 4. Position 0 switches
it off.
Remember to adjust this control
in order to reach the ambient air
comfort level.

Air flow
Press the small fan
button to
reduce the flow or the large fan
button to increase the flow.
On the display, the blades of the fan darken
when the flow is increased.
Manual operation
You can, according to your requirements,
make a different selection from that offered
by the system by changing a setting.
The other functions will still be controlled
automatically. Pressing the AUTO
button
restores fully automatic operation.
Intake of exterior air/
Recirculation of interior air
Press this button to recirculate
the interior air. The recirculation
symbol is displayed.
Recirculation prevents exterior odours
and smoke from entering the passenger
compartment. Avoid prolonged operation
in interior air recirculation mode (risk of
condensation, odour and humidity).
Pressing this button again activates the
intake of exterior air.
Air distribution
Pressing this button several times
in succession directs the air flow
towards:
- the windscreen,
- the windscreen and footwells,
- the footwells,
- the side vents, central vents and
footwells,
- the side vents and central vents.
Deactivating the system
Press the air flow small fan
button until the fan symbol
disappears.
This action deactivates all of the system's
functions, with the exception of the air
recirculation and rear screen demisting
(if fitted on your vehicle). Your comfort
setting is no longer maintained and is

CORRECT USE OF THE VENTILATION AND AIR
CONDITIONING
Passenger compartment filter,
carbon filter
Ensure that this filter is in good condition
and have all of the filter elements replaced
regularly.
Vents
"Leave them open"
For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot
or cool air in the passenger compartment,
there are adjustable central and side vents
which can be directed sideways (right or
left) towards the top of the body. For your
comfort while driving, do not close them,
direct the flow of air towards the windows
instead.
The air vents directed towards the floor of
the vehicle complete the equipment.
Refer to the "Checks" section of
chapter 6.
Air conditioning
In all seasons, 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. Use the AUTO mode as much as
possible as it permits optimised control
of all of the functions: air flow, passenger
compartment comfort temperature,
air distribution, air intake mode or air
recirculation in the passenger compartment.
Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to
10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep
it in perfect working order.
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 or
a qualified workshop.

Practical information
CREW CAB
Bench seat
The crew cab consists of a 3-seat bench,
located in row 2, the one-piece back of
which is fixed to the "load retainer" grille.
Access to the rear seats is via the sliding
side door.
Head rests and seat belts
Each seat has a head rest adjustable for
height and angle.
The three seats are equipped with inertia
reel seat belts. The seat belts are integral
with the backrest of the bench seat.
Ensure that the seat belt is attached to the
correct buckle.
For more information on the use of this
equipment, refer to "Seat belts" in section 4.
Good practice
The rear seat belt stalks are not designed for securing the load transported. Use the stowing rings on the floor only.
The bench seat of the crew cab is not suitable for the installation of a child seat.
Rear side glasses
If fitted to your vehicle, the side glasses can
be opened.
Squeeze the two controls together then slide
the window. There are 4 position notches.
When driving, the glass should be closed or
secured at one of the 4 notches.

As a safety precaution in case of sharp
braking, you are advised to place heavy
objects as far forwards towards the cab as
possible.
You are advised to immobilise the load by
securing it firmly using the stowing rings on
the floor.
Trims
The lower parts of the sides are fitted with
load protection trims.
Roof box on raised version
This is a storage compartment located in the
load space, above the cab roof.
