operation of the doors, you are strongly
advised not to drive with a door open.
Always check that it is safe to operate the
door and in particular, be sure not to leave
children or animals near the door controls
without supervision.
The audible warning, the illumination
of the "door open" warning lamp and
the message on the screen are there to
remind you. Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop to have this warning
deactivated.
Lock the vehicle when using an automatic
car wash. Before opening or closing or per forming
any movement of the doors, ensure that
no person, animal or object is in the
window frame or could block the desired
movement, inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or
damage may occur if a part of the body or
an object is trapped or caught.
The doors cannot be opened electrically
above 2 mph (3
km/h ):

foot, ensure that you are steady and well
positioned, so that you do not lose your
balance (rain, snow, ice, mud, etc.).
Take care not to touch the exhaust tailpipe
when making the movement with your
foot - risk of burns.
Make the movement without interruption
and do not repeat it immediately
after wards or several times.
If the door does not open, wait about
2

indicators flashing for a few seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal.
The movement of the door is reversed
if the movement of the foot takes place
during the manoeuvre.
If the vehicle is so equipped, the electric
door mirrors fold/unfold on locking/
unlocking the vehicle.
If your vehicle is not fitted with an alarm,
locking is confirmed by fixed illumination
of the direction indicators for about two

Correct driving position
Before taking to the road and to make the most
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and
controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
-
t
he height of the head restraint,
-
t
he seat backrest angle,
-
t
he seat cushion height,
-
t
he longitudinal position of the seat,
-
t
he height and reach of the steering wheel,
-
t
he rear view mirror and door mirrors.
Once these adjustments have been made,
check the instrument panel can be viewed
correctly from your driving position.
Manually-adjusted front
seats
For more information on the Seat belts ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Longitudinal
F Raise the control bar and slide the seat forwards or backwards.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is nothing that might
prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats
or jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat.
Height
F Pull the control upwards to raise the seat or push it downwards to lower it until the
desired position is obtained.
Backrest angle
F Depending on equipment, turn the knob or pull the control fully up and tilt the backrest

forward.
To return to the normal position, pull the
control up to release the backrest, then pull the
backrest up to its raised position.
On the front passenger side, this position
allows long objects to be carried.
On the driver's side, this position allows rear
passengers to be helped out of the vehicle (by
the emergency services).
When sharp deceleration occurs, objects
placed on the folded backrest may be
thrown around the vehicle.

Removing the net
F Release the hooks from the rings 4 and 3.
F R emove the lower fastener 2 then the upper
fastener 1 , turning them by a quarter turn
backwards to unlock them.
Make sure that the size, shape and
volume of the loads carried are compatible
with the highway code and safety
regulations and do not impair the driver’s
field of vision.
All loads must be appropriately secured
to prevent or minimise displacement and
prevent injury.
Install the anti-slip net (supplied with the
vehicle) every time that the seat is raised
and the partition flap removed.
Never use the net for any other purposes.
Regularly check the condition of the
anti-slip net. As soon as signs of wear or
tear appear, contact a CITROËN dealer
to have it replaced by an anti-slip net
that meets the specifications required by
CITROËN for the vehicle.
Always fit the removable flap back into
place when you are not carrying any long
loads.

Central seat cushion
storage
Never use the table while the vehicle is
moving.
Any object on the table will become a
dangerous projectile that could cause
injury in the event of sudden braking or
collision.
Precautions for the seats
and bench seats
Do not remove a head restraint without storing
it and securing it to a support.
Ensure that the passengers can always access
the seat belts and fasten them easily.
A passenger must not take their seat without
adjusting the seat's head restraint correctly and
adjusting and fastening their seat belt.
Ensure that no object or passenger feet
could obstruct the anchorage points
or prevent the correct latching of the
assembly.
