Handling the Row 3 seat
Removing the seat
- Lower the head restraint.
- Place the seat in the fully folded
position.
- Tilt the entire seat forwards.
- On each side, take hold of the
uprights of the folded seat, tilting it
forward slightly, and lift it.
Repositioning the seat
The label on the seat indicates the
position in which it must be installed.
- Place the hooks of the front feet
between the two bars.
- Ensure that no object or foot is
obstructing the rear anchoring
recesses and that the seat belt is
positioned correctly and available.
- Fold back the seat to fi x its rear
anchoring feet.
- Operate the control to raise the
seat back to its initial position.
- Raise the head restraint.
Good practice
Do not place hard or heavy objects on
the seat backs forming a table, they
could become dangerous projectiles in
the event or sharp braking or impact.
Following the various operations:
- do not remove a head restraint
without storing it, fi x it to a support
in the vehicle,
- ensure that the passengers can
always access the seat belts and
fasten them easily,
- passengers must never take
their seat without adjusting and
fastening their seat belt.
- a passenger seated in row 3 must
ensure that he does not obstruct
the row 2 seat anchoring recesses,
- a passenger seated in row 3 must
not have the seat in front of them in
row 2 in the folded position; this is
in case the seat should tip towards
the passenger unexpectedly and
injure them.

Practical information
Modutop roof BARS
These two longitudinal Modutop roof
bars can be removed. The maximum authorised weight on
each bar is 35 kg.
In all cases, the load must rest on
the non-slip bands provided for this
purpose and must not touch the roof or
the glazing of the roof.
Recommendations for loading on
the roof:
- Open the protective covers.
- Use the screwdriver (stored in the
tool kit under the right-hand seat) to
remove the 4 bolts.
- Turn the bars 90° placing the
hollow parts towards the front.
- Tighten the 4 bolts.
- Close the protective covers.
- Use the strap passages A
only to
secure the load fi rmly.

Practical information
12 Volt socket (120 W Max)
It is advisable to limit the use of this
socket to avoid discharging the battery.
Protective net
Open the cover located in the hook
support.
Fix the top of the net in the notches,
having fi rst turned the bar 1/4 of a turn.
Ensure that the end of the bar engages
correctly in the metal part of its
location.
Fix the straps in the locations provided
on the fl oor.
Tighten the net using the straps.
Stowing rings
Use these rings to secure loads on the
fl oor.

Parking sensors
Activation / Deactivation
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, when
reverse gear is engaged the LED in the
button comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen. Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or if a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).
The parking assistance cannot, in
any circumstances, take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this
button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when
the vehicle stops.
130
Towing a trailer
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures. See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type
of equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

Changing a wheel
1. PARKING THE VEHICLE
- The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait in a safe location.
- If possible, park the vehicle on
level, stable and non-slippery
ground.
- Apply the parking brake, switch
off the ignition and engage fi rst or
reverse gear.
- If available, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
one to be changed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a towbar,
it is sometimes necessary to raise
the vehicle slightly to make it easier
to remove the spare wheel from its
carrier.
On certain types of ground and/or
if considerable loads are being
transported, call a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
CHANGING A WHEEL
2. TOOLS
- The tools are stowed in a storage
compartment located under the left
hand front seat. If necessary, move
the seat to access the storage
compartment from the rear.
- Unscrew the nut then take out the
jack and the wheelbrace.

Wheelbrace.
2.
Jack.
3.
Alloy wheel embellisher remover.
4.
Chock.
The jack and the tool kit are specifi c to
your vehicle. Do not use them for other
purposes.
162
Having your vehicle towed
Without lifting (4 wheels on the
road)
You should always use a towing bar.
BEING TOWED
The towing eye is stored in the tool kit,
located under the left-hand seat.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the
bottom part.
- Fully screw in the removable towing
eye.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the
fl at part of the towing eye,
- Fully screw in the removable towing
eye.
When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no braking or
steering assistance.
Lifting (2 wheels on the road
only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using professional lifting equipment.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (Diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position, failure to
observe this special condition may
result in damage to transmission and
braking components and the absence
of braking assistance when the engine
is started again.
