Take care not to block the guide space
on the floor to allow the door to slide
c o r r e c t l y.
As a safety measure and for functional
reasons, do not drive with the sliding side
door open.
The electric controls are inhibited in the
event of an impact. Manual opening and
closing remain possible.
While starting the engine, the movement
of a door is interrupted and continues
once the engine is running.Depending on the engine, if the
door is closed and an attempt
is made to open it in Stop mode
of Stop & Start, the door opens
partially and stops. In Start mode,
when the engine restarts, the
door continues its movement.
To hold the sliding side door in the open
position, open the door fully to engage the
locking device (located at the bottom of
the door).Doors and their obstruction Safety/Obstacle detection
with electric door(s)
When open, a door projects beyond the body.
Be sure to take this into account when parking
alongside a wall, a post or a high kerb, etc.
When open, a door never projects beyond
the rear bumper. The obstacle detection system is triggered
when the moving door encounters an obstacle
with a certain level of physical resistance. If an
obstacle is detected:
-
w
hile the door is closing, the door stops
then opens fully.
-
w
hile the door is opening, the door stops
then closes.
-
t
wice in succession during a movement
of the door, the door will no longer close
electrically (uninitialisation).
On a steep slope: a safety system slows down
the movement of the door.
In all cases, wait a few seconds before
operating the door (closing or opening).
Close the door manually for safety reasons.
Then reinitialise the door.

the emergency services).
When sharp deceleration occurs, objects
placed on the folded backrest may be
thrown around the vehicle.

Do not use the function when the seat is
not occupied.
Reduce the intensity of the heating as
soon as possible.
When the seat and passenger
compartment have reached an adequate
temperature, stop the function ; reducing
the consumption of electrical current
reduces fuel consumption.

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.

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.

Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
F
E
nsure that the cabin filter is in good
condition and have the filter elements
replaced regularly.
It is recommend to use a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F
T
o ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in
the Maintenance and Warranty Guide. Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop &
Start system to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment.
