Pressing the AUTO
button restores fully
automatic operation.

Air distribution
Pressing this button several
times in succession directs
the air fl ow towards:


- the windscreen,

- the windscreen and footwells,

- the footwells,

- the side vents, central vents and
footwells,

- the side vents and central vents.

Air fl ow
Press the small fan

Ventilation


DEMISTING AND DEFROSTING GOOD PRACTICE

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)
or vertically (up or down). For your
comfort while driving, do not close
them and direct the fl ow of air towards
the windows instead.
Air vents in the footwells and directed
towards the windscreen complete the
equipment.
Do not block the vents located at the
windscreen or the air extractor located
in the boot.


Dust filter, odour filter (activated
carbon)
This fi lter traps certain dust and limits
odours.
Ensure that this fi lter is in good
condition and have all of the fi lter
elements replaced regularly.
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 fl ow,
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 good working order.
It is normal that the condensation
created by the air conditioning system
results in a fl ow 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 qualifi ed workshop.
Automatic mode: visibility
programme
The comfort programme (AUTO) may
not be suffi cient to quickly demist or
defrost the windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice).
In this case, select the visibility
programme. The visibility programme
indicator comes on.
It activates the air conditioning, the air
fl ow and provides optimum distribution
of the ventilation to the windscreen and
side windows.
It deactivates the air recirculation.

CREW CAB

Bench seat

The crew cab consists of a 3-seat
bench, located in row 2, the one-piece
back of which is in unit with the "load
retainer" grille.
Access to the rear seats is via the
sliding side door.


Head restraints and seat belts

The three seats are equipped with
inertia reel seat belts. The seat belts
of the outer seats are secured to the
body, whereas the seat belt of the
centre seat is secured to the back of
the bench seat.
Each seat has a head restraint bolted
onto the load retaining grille and which
can be removed.
Do not store a head restraint inside the
vehicle unless it is properly stowed or
fi xed to a support.
Do not drive with rear passengers
without fi rst bolting the head restraints
in place.


Placing the bench seat in the
fully folded position


- If necessary, move the front seats
forward and fasten the strap of the
seat belt of the centre seat.

- Check that the seat belt straps and
buckles are positioned correctly
along the side panels, to ensure
that the sliding of the seat back is
not hindered.

- Release the seat back using the
control A
.

74


Practical information



Putting the bench seat back in
the seat position


- In a single movement: take hold of
the red strap and pull the assembly
horizontally towards the rear. Guide
the movement until the feet of the
bench seat lock on the fl oor.

- Raise the seat back. The control A

locks in place automatically.

- Check that the bench is locked on
the fl oor correctly once it has been
returned to the seat position.
Do not let the assembly fall sharply.


Good practice

There is no need to assist, guide or
support the tilting movement using
your free arm.
The rear seat belt casings are not
designed for securing the load
transported. Use the stowing rings on
the fl oor only.
The bench seat of the crew cab is not
suitable for the installation of a child
seat.

- Using the same hand, fold the seat
back and the associated grille onto
the seat cushion.

- Take hold of the red strap (like
a handle) and lift the assembly
vertically, guiding the movement to
the fully folded position.
The raised seat rests against the backs
of the seats of row 1.
