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.  
Stay alert if the vehicle is on a steep  
slope, with loads behind the partition and  
passengers on board!  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Deactivate the front passenger airbag  
when carrying long objects.  
Lock the movable partition in these 2  
positions only.  
Do not lean on the movable partition  
when boarding!

The upper stops may be adjusted if:  
– excessive force is needed to operate  
the upper latches A and B.  
– there is noise while driving, caused by  
excessive play.

Moving the partition forwards  
Opening/closing the hatch  
3
When the partition is locked behind the  
row 2 or row 1 seats, an engagement  
noise tells you that the upper and lower  
latches are closed.  
Never drive with the partition unlocked.  
► Open/close the hatch E using the latch.  
► Use the stay F to keep it in the open position.  
► Fold the backrests of the row 2 seats and  
check that they are properly folded. If necessary,  
adjust the position of the row 1 seats (moving  
them forwards).  
The partition must not be moved with the  
latches extended - risk of scratches or  
damage to the plastic trims!  
When carrying a long load, the hatch E  
must be kept in the open position with  
the stay F.  
► Release the upper latches A and B.  
► Check that the latches C and D are retracted.  
► Slide the partition forwards.  
► Lock the lower latches C and D and then  
check that the locating pins are correctly  
engaged in their housings.  
The partition must never be removed to  
convert the vehicle from a commercial  
vehicle to a passenger vehicle.  
This would pose a risk to the safety of users  
due to the absence of a child lock on the  
tailgate (mandatory on passenger vehicles).  
Systematically close the hatch E, store  
the stay F in its housing (using the clip)  
and straighten the backrest of the side  
passenger seat(s) (depending on the position  
of the partition) when no long load is being  
transported.  
► Lock the upper latches A and B.  
Moving the partition backwards  
Pay attention to the loading height  
behind the partition and the size of the  
long load in the protective cover: the driver  
must keep a good field of vision.  
Avoid placing loads on the sill bar of the  
hatch E. Whenever possible, place loads  
on the folded-down seat backrests.  
The maximum load on the sill of the hatch E  
is 20 kg.  
► Release the upper latches A and B.  
► Release the lower latches C and D.  
► Slide the partition backwards.  
► Lock the upper latches only A and B.  
► Return the backrests of the row 2 seats to  
their positions.  
Do not place loads between the partition  
and the bench seat backrest.

lowered and the hatch is open with a long  
load.  
In row 2, no passengers must be allowed to  
sit in the central seat if the backrest of the  
outer seat is lowered and the hatch is open  
with a long load.  
Positioning the protective  
cover  
► Install the protective cover by fastening its  
4 snap hooks to the 4 anchor points on the  
partition.  
► Pull out the head restraint rods from  
the folded backrest(s) of the outer seat(s)  
(depending on the position of the partition),  
leaving 2 notches visible.  
When loading long objects, take care to  
install the protective cover correctly.  
► Fold the backrest of the outer passenger  
seat(s) (depending on the position of the  
partition).  
For more information on the Rear bench seat,  
and especially on folding the backrests, refer to  
the corresponding section.  
The protective cover must be installed  
whenever the backrest of the outer seat  
is folded down and the partition hatch is open.  
► Load the desired objects.  
Avoid placing heavy loads on the  
folded-down backrest of row 1.  
Whenever possible, place heavy loads on the  
floor.  
The maximum load permitted on each of the  
folded backrests of row 2 is 80 kg.  
For more information on the Two-seat front  
bench seat, and especially the retracted position  
of the outer seat, refer to the corresponding  
section.  
It is normal for surplus protective cover to  
be visible when the partition is positioned  
behind row 1.  
In row 1, no passengers must be allowed  
to sit in the outer seat if the backrest of

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.  
Heating and Ventilation  
3
Advice  
Put the air flow control at a setting high  
enough to quickly change the air in the  
passenger compartment.  
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.  
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  
► Position the strap(s) around the head  
restraint(s) (depending on the position of the  
partition).  
► Tighten the strap(s) using the adjustable  
section in order to correctly retain the items that  
have been loaded inside the cover.  
► Operate the air conditioning system for at  
least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to  
keep it in good working order.  
► If the system does not produce cold air,  
switch it off and contact a CITROËN dealer or  
a qualified workshop.  
When towing a large load on a steep gradient  
in high temperatures, switching off the air  
conditioning increases the available engine  
power, enhancing the towing capacity.  
► 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. Its specific active additive  
helps protect against polluting gases and bad  
smells.  
To ensure correct operation of the  
air conditioning system, have it checked  
according to the recommendations in the  
Manufacturer’s service schedule.  
Do not place any load in the passenger  
compartment outside the protective cover  
(especially over the cover).  
Regularly check the condition of the  
protective cover.  
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!  
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.
