Ease of use and comfort

While driving, the windows must be closed or
secured at one of the notches.
► Squeeze the two controls then move the
window sideways.
For more information on the Child lock
on rear windows , refer to the
corresponding section.
Side blinds
Fitted to the windows in row 2, these protect the
passenger compartment from the sun's rays.

Upper fixings

► Unclip the anchorage cover in the roof on
each side.
Lower fixings (behind row 1)
If your vehicle has fixed one-piece bench seats
or seats and bench seats:


► On each side in row 2, insert the fixings in the
floor anchorages (as shown above).
If your vehicle has seats and bench seats or
individual seats on rails
:


► On each side in row 2, insert the fixings in the
floor anchorages then turn them a quarter turn to
lock them in place (as shown above).
Place them as close as possible to the end of
the rail.
Lower fixings (behind row 2)

► Use the stowing rings.
Fit the net
Unclip the upper fixing covers and secure the
lower fixings (as previously described).
►

Fold (table position) the seats and bench
seats in rows 2 and 3 (according to equipment).
►


Close the rear heating and air conditioning
vents (depending on the equipment you have).
►


Unroll the high load retaining net.
►


Position the net upper fixings in the
corresponding anchorages in the roof (first one
side, then the other).
►


Fully extend the straps.
►


On each side, attach the bottom fixings of the
net to the lower anchorages (behind row 1) or in
the stowing rings (behind row 2).

When stowing the table tops, never place
your hand inside the slide area - risk of
trapping your fingers! Use the handle
provided.
Heating and Ventilation
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.
► Check that the control is in the upper position
(locking mechanism armed). If not, lift this control
fully to arm the mechanism.
►

Place the front of the table on the runner
.
►

T
aking care not to interfere with the control,
tip the assembly towards the rear until you hear
it lock into place.
►

Check that the assembly is fully locked into
the runner

. If not, slide the assembly gently along
the runner until it meets the next notch.
Check that the table is fully locked into
the runner - risk of injury in the event of
an accident or sudden braking.
►

Release the control until the guide locks into
the runner

.
Be careful of passengers' feet when
manoeuvring the assembly.
Storage off the runner
If removing the table from the vehicle for
storage, ensure that it is placed in a
clean area, in order to avoid introducing any
foreign bodies into the mechanisms.
The table must be placed outside the vehicle,
on a flat and level surface, resting on the
guide so as not to damage visible parts.
Caution, when out of the vehicle, the
table leans to the right or left when
placed on a surface.


Incorrect use of the table can cause
serious injury.
Never use the table in the open or deployed
position while the vehicle is in motion. In the
event of sudden braking, any object placed on
the table can become a projectile.
Ensure that the table is correctly stowed in
the low position before setting off.
Never use the table tops as seats or lean on
them.
A label attached to the side of the table
serves as a reminder of this.
Never place hot objects such as
saucepans or frying pans on the table
- risk of damaging the surface and starting a
fire!
When the table is deployed, each table
top can support a maximum of 10 kg. If
you exceed the maximum weight limit, you
risk damaging part or all of the table.
Never lift the table when it is between
individual seats; you risk damaging the table
tops.


Before moving the table or an individual
seat forwards or backwards, make sure
that the seat's backrest is upright and the
table is stowed.

Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air

o 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

.
►

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
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).
►

T
o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Maintenance and Warranty Guide.

greenhouse gases
Depending on version and country of sale, the
air conditioning system may contain R134A
fluorinated greenhouse gases. Gas capacity

kg (+/- 0.025 kg), GWP index 1430 (CO
2 equivalent: 0.715 t).
Stop & Start
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.
For more information on Stop & Start, refer
to the corresponding section.
ECO driving mode
Selecting this mode reduces electrical
energy consumption, but restricts the
performance of the heating and air

Provides dynamic, effective air flow.
When the engine is cold, the air flow will
only increase to its optimum level
gradually, to avoid distributing too much cold
air.
In cold weather, it prioritises the distribution of
warm air to the windscreen, the side windows
and the footwells only.

Temperature
The driver and front passenger can each set the
temperature to suit their preferences.
The value shown on the display is a level
of comfort, not a temperature in Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
►

Push button
1 down to decrease the value or
up to increase it.
A setting of around 21 provides optimum comfort. Depending on your
requirements, a setting between 18 and 24 is
normal.
In addition, we recommend avoiding left/right
setting differences of more than 3.
On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is significantly colder or
warmer than the comfort value setting, there
is no need to alter the value displayed in
order to reach the required level of comfort.
The system compensates automatically and
corrects the temperature difference as quickly
as possible.
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible to
exceed the minimum value 14 or the
maximum value 28.
