Ease of use and comfort
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.
The load must be evenly distributed in  the loading area so as not to interfere 
with driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side wall panels, 
or push it against the side wall 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 projected. 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.
To prevent the load from sliding, there must 
not be any empty spaces between the load 
items and the vehicle wall panels.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability 
of the load with stable handling equipment 
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing the vehicle, never clean 
the interior directly with a water jet.
For the Extenso Cab and the 
Crew cab
Do not place sharp or pointed objects in 
the protective cover to avoid damaging it.
 
 
Do not place objects on the 
dashboard.
Deactivate the front passenger airbag when 
carrying long objects.
For more information on  Deactivating 
the front passenger airbag, refer to the 
corresponding section.
Avoid placing short or heavy loads in the  protective cover; use the loading area 
whenever possible.
 
 
Avoid anchoring loads or hanging items  on the wall of the partition.
For safety reasons, ensure that small objects 
do not slip through the gaps of about 3
  cm 
between the partition and the vehicle's 
bodywork.
Extenso Cab 
 
This assembly comprises the two-seat front 
bench seat and a removable flap.
For more information on the  two-seat front 
bench seat, refer to the corresponding section.
A partition located on the floor behind the front 
seats protects the driver and front passengers 
against the risk of load movement.
A movable flap in this partition can be removed 
to allow long items to be loaded.
A protective cover is supplied with the vehicle to 
enable long items to be carried safely.

Ease of use and comfort
► Tighten the strap using the adjustable section 
in order to correctly retain the items that have 
been loaded inside the cover.
The protective cover may be left in place after use.
Regularly check the condition of the 
protective cover.
When signs of wear and tear appear, contact 
a CITROËN dealer to have it replaced by a 
protective cover that meets the specifications 
and qualities required by CITROËN and your 
vehicle.
Crew cab 
 
 
 
A movable partition that can be placed behind 
the first or second row of seats protects the 
driver and passengers against the risk of load 
movement.
A hatch in the partition can be opened to allow 
long items to be carried.
A protective cover is supplied with the vehicle to 
enable long items to be carried safely.
Lock the movable partition in these 2 
positions only.
Do not lean on the movable partition 
when boarding!
Stay alert if the vehicle is on a steep 
slope, with loads behind the partition and 
passengers on board!
 
 
Do not place loads behind the partition 
positioned behind row 2, if the backrest 
of part 2/3 of the bench seat is folded down.
 
 
Deactivate the front passenger airbag 
when carrying long objects.
