noise tells you that the upper and lower
latches are closed.
Never drive with the partition unlocked.
The partition must not be moved with the latches extended - risk of scratches or
damage to the plastic trims!
The partition must never be removed to convert the vehicle from a commercial
vehicle to a passenger vehicle.
This would pose a risk to the safety of users
due to the absence of a child lock on the
tailgate (mandatory on passenger vehicles).
Pay attention to the loading height
behind the partition and the size of the
long load in the protective cover: the driver
must keep a good field of vision.
Do not place loads between the partition
and the bench seat backrest.

► Open/close the hatch E using the latch.
► Use the stay F to keep it in the open position.
When carrying a long load, the hatch E
must be kept in the open position with
the stay F.
Systematically close the hatch E, store
the stay F in its housing (using the clip)
and straighten the backrest of the side
passenger seat(s) (depending on the position
of the partition) when no long load is being
transported.
Avoid placing loads on the sill bar of the hatch E. Whenever possible, place loads
on the folded-down seat backrests.
The maximum load on the sill of the hatch E
is 20 kg.

Wiper control stalk
Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen and around the wiper
arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. In extremely hot or cold
weather, check that the wiper blades are not
stuck to the windscreen before operating the
wipers.
After using an automatic car wash, you may temporarily notice abnormal noises
and poorer wiping performance.
You do not
need to replace the wiper blades.
Without AUTO wiping



With AUTO wiping

Windscreen wipers
► To select the wiping speed: raise or lower the
stalk to the desired position.
Fast wiping (heavy rain)

Refer to the corresponding section.
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper
arm.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
With automatic air conditioning, any
action on the screenwash control results
in temporary closure of the air intake to
protect the passenger compartment from any
odour.

7. Rear right-hand seat belt (row 2) not
fastened/unfastened warning lamp.
Not fastened at the front
When the ignition is switched on, warning lamp
1 lights up on the instrument panel (depending
on version) and the corresponding indicator lamp
(2, 3 or 4 (depending on version)) lights up if the
driver and/or front passenger have not fastened
their seat belts.
At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h),
these warning lamps flash, accompanied by an
increasing audible signal for approximately two
minutes. After two minutes, these warning lamps
remain on as long as the front seatbelts are not
fastened.
Not fastened at the rear
When the ignition is switched on, with the engine
running or the vehicle moving at a speed below
12
mph (20 km/h), warning lamp 1 (depending
on version) and the corresponding indicator
lamps (5 to 7) light up for around sixty seconds,
if one or more rear seat belts (row 2) are not
fastened.


There are no seat belt warning lamps for row 3.
Unfastened
After the ignition is switched on, warning lamp 1
(depending on version) and the corresponding
indicator lamps light up if the driver and/or one or
more passengers unfasten their seat belts.
At a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h), these
warning lamps flash, accompanied by an audible
signal for approximately two minutes. After this
time, these warning lamps remain on as long as
the seatbelts are not refastened.
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever seated in the vehicle, you must
always fasten the seat belt, even for short
journeys.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles, as they
will not fulfil their role properly.
To ensure the proper functioning of the belt
buckles, make sure that there are no foreign
bodies present (e.g.
a coin) before fastening.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat belt
is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench
seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned
and reeled in correctly.
Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible over the pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
At the front, adjusting the position of the
seat belt may require the seat height to be
adjusted.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
–

be tightened as close to the body as
possible.
–


be pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it is not twisted.
–


must only be used to secure one person.
–


not show signs of tearing or fraying.
–


not be changed or modified, in order to
avoid affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12 years old or shorter than 1.5
metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure more
than one child.
Never carry a child on your lap.
For more information on Child seats, refer to
the corresponding section.
Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all work on your vehicle's
seat belts, contact a qualified workshop with
the skills and equipment needed, which a
CITROËN dealer is able to provide.

11 8
Driving
Noise (Electric)
On the outside
Due to the vehicle’s quiet operation when
driving, the driver must pay particular attention.
When manoeuvring, the driver must always
check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.
At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the
pedestrian horn warns other road users of the
vehicle’s presence.
Cooling the traction battery
The cooling fan comes on during
charging to cool the on-board charger and the
traction battery.
On the inside
During use, you may hear certain perfectly
normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such
as:
–

T
raction battery relay when starting.
–

V
acuum pump when braking.
–

V
ehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.
–

Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►

Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
►


Pay constant attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
