2020 CITROEN DISPATCH SPACETOURER Handbook (in English)

79
As a safety measure in the event of
sudden braking, it is recommended that
heavy objects are placed on the floor as
close as possible to the backrest of the
seat(s) or bench seat.
Load space cover
F To remove it, raise it.
F T o install it, insert the guides into their
housings.
When sharp deceleration occurs, objects
placed on the load space cover can turn
into projectiles.
Loading area fittings
Stowing rings
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking,
you are advised to place heavy objects as far
for wards towards the cab as possible.
It is recommended that the load be secured
firmly using the stowing rings on the floor.
Load restraint
On the floor, behind the front seats, a
vertical partition protects the driver and front
passengers against the risk of load movement.
Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to
secure your loads.

Recommendations on
loading
The weight of the load must comply with
the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine
technical data and towed loads, refer to
the corresponding section.
If you are using a carrying system (roof
bars/roof rack), comply with the maximum
loads associated with this system.
For more information on Roof bars/Roof
rack , refer to the corresponding section.
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.
Steel or glass partitions separate the loading
area from the cab.
The load must be evenly distributed in the
loading area so as not to inter fere with
driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side panels,
or even push it against the side panels
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy
objects are placed as close to the cab as
possible as a precaution in case of sharp
braking.
Firmly secure all parts of the load using
the stowing rings on the floor of the
loading area.
For more information on the Interior
fittings
and in particular on the stowing
rings, refer to the corresponding section. To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the
load must be made stable so that it cannot
slide, tip over, fall or be thrown. To do this,
use only retaining straps that conform to
current standards (DIN for example).
For more information on putting straps
in place, refer to the manufacturer’s user
guide.
There must not be any empty space
between the components of the load.
To prevent the load sliding, there must not
be any empty space between the load and
the panels of the vehicle.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability
of the load with stable handling equipment
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing your vehicle, never clean
the inside directly using a water jet.

Retractable sliding table
Shine, Business Lounge
It comprises a closed central storage space
with a lid. Unfolded, it provides a table with
two tops on which objects can be placed. The
central area includes two cup holders and can
also be used to place small objects (credit card,
pen, etc.).
The assembly is mounted on a runner allowing
it to be positioned either in row 2 or row 3.
Storage
F Slide back the cover for access to 11 litres
of storage space.
The storage space can only support a
maximum weight of 3
kg ; do not exceed
this maximum load in use.
Moving forward or
backward
F Lift the control (without going beyond the point of resistance) and slide the assembly
forwards or backwards. F

position.
F
C
heck that the table is secured on the
runner. If this is not the case, move the
assembly slightly to the next notch on the

You can move the table in both the open
and stowed position. However, to ensure
safety, it is advised that you handle the
assembly in the stowed position.
For the table to run smoothly, ensure that
no objects are blocking the space used by
the runner on the floor.
Before manoeuvring the table, check that
there is nothing on the table.
Unfolding
F Operate the control on the top and pull the table assembly up until it clicks into place.

Before stowing the table tops, check that
they are clear. Before tipping the assembly
down, check that the two table tops have
clicked home in the low position and that
there is nothing in the cup holder area
(such as a can or pen).
Cup holders
Two cups or cans and small objects (such as
a credit card, portable ashtray or pen) can be
carried in the middle of the unfolded table.
Liquids carried in an open vessel (a cup
or mug) could be spilt, presenting a risk.
Be careful.
Never use the table in this position while
the vehicle is being driven.
Removal
F Raise the control fully to release the anchorages and tip the table assembly
forward.

sliding door in row 2.
Changing the direction
Remove a seat to make this easier.
Refitting
F Check that there is no object obstructing the runner and preventing locking.Check that there is nothing in the space
around the runner on the floor, so that the
table disengages cleanly.
With the table removed, you can turn it 180°.

r u n n e r.
Other wise there is a risk of injury in the
event of an accident or sudden braking.
F

R
elease the control until the guide latches
in the runner. Be careful of passengers' feet when
manoeuvring the assembly.
Storage off the runner
If removing and storing the table out of
the vehicle, ensure that it is placed in a
clean area, so as to avoid introducing any
foreign bodies into the mechanisms.
The table must be placed outside the
vehicle on a flat and level sur face, resting
on the guide so as not to damage visible
parts.
Incorrect use of the table could cause
serious injury.
Never use the table in the open or
unfolded position while the vehicle is
in motion. Any object on the table will
become a dangerous projectile in the
event of sudden braking.
Ensure that the table is correctly stowed in
the low position before moving off.
Never use the table tops as seats or lean
on them.
A label affixed to the side of the table
gives a reminder of this.
Caution, when out of the
vehicle, the table leans to
the right or left when put
down. Never place hot objects such as
saucepans or frying pans on the table, as
you risk damaging its surface (risk of fire).
With the table deployed, each top can
bear a maximum load of 10
kg. If you
do not obser ve this load limit, you risk
damaging a part of or the whole table.
Never raise the table when it is between
individual seats


; this risks damaging the
table tops.

Ease of use and comfort

86
To move the table or an individual seat
for wards or backwards, make sure that
the seat's backrest is upright and the table
is stowed.When stowing the table tops, never put
your hand in the sliding area, you may
get your fingers trapped. Use the handle
provided.
Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen,
the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets
and the air extractor in the boot free
from obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard
; this is
used for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10
minutes once or twice
a month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in high temperatures,
switching off the air conditioning increases
the available engine power and so
improves the towing ability. Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of the recirculation of interior air - risk of
misting and deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
