Ease of use and comfort
To return to the normal position, guide the
backrest backwards until it locks into place.
This position, together with that of the rear seats,
allows you to transport long objects inside the
vehicle.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is nothing that might
prevent the full travel of the seat.
When the front passenger seat is fully folded,
only the outer rear seat behind the driver can
be occupied by a passenger.
Do not place hard, heavy or sharp
objects in the centre of the backrest to
ensure that you don't damage rear lining
behind the backrest.
When sharp deceleration occurs, objects
placed on the folded backrest can turn into
dangerous projectiles.
Heated seats

► With the engine running, use the adjustment knob to switch on and select the level of heating
required:
0
: Off.
1 : Low.
2 : Medium.
3 : High.
The front seats can be heated individually.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking
medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
– Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the seat.– Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
– Do not spill liquids onto the seat.– Never use the heating function if the seat is damp.
Rear seats

This system automatically and progressively
transitions between day and night modes, using
a sensor that measures the light entering from
the rear of the vehicle.
To ensure optimum visibility during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens
automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger compartment
is filtered and originates either from the
exterior, via the grille located at the base of the
windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation
mode.
Controls
Depending on version, the controls are
accessible in the " Air conditioning" touch
screen menu or are grouped together in the
control panel on the centre console.
The demisting/defrosting controls for the
windscreen and the rear screen are located
below the touch screen, or on the centre console
panel located below the audio system.
Air distribution

1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents
2. Front side window demisting/defrosting vents
3.Adjustable and closable side air vents
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents
5. Air outlets to the front footwells
6. Air outlets to the rear footwells
Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► To ensure that 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.
► Do not cover the sunshine sensor located on the dashboard; this sensor is used to
regulate the automatic air conditioning
system.
► Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to
keep it in perfect working order.
► If 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, enhancing the towing capacity.
Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation

Avoid driving for too long with the
ventilation off or with prolonged operation
of interior air recirculation. 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.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
► Ensure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the
air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
► To ensure correct operation of the air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop & Start,
refer to the corresponding section.
