CORRECT USE OF THE

VENTILATION AND AIR

possible as it permits optimised control

of all of the functions: air flow, passenger

compartment comfort temperature,

air distribution, air intake mode or air

recirculation in the passenger compartment.

Vents

Air conditioning

"Leave them open"

In all seasons, the air conditioning should

only be used with the windows closed.

However, if the interior temperature remains

high after a prolonged period parked

in the sun, first ventilate the passenger

compartment for a few minutes.

For optimum distribution and diffusion of hot

or cool air in the passenger compartment,

there are adjustable central and side vents

which can be directed sideways (right or

left) towards the top of the body. For your

comfort while driving, do not close them,

direct the flow of air towards the windows

instead.

Operate the air conditioning system for 5 to

10 minutes, once or twice a month, to keep

it in perfect working order.

It is normal that the condensation created by

the air conditioning system results in a flow

of water which may form a puddle under the

vehicle when parked.

The air vents directed towards the floor of

the vehicle complete the equipment.

If the system does not produce cold air, do

not use it and contact a CITROËN dealer or

a qualified workshop.

ADDITIONAL HEATING

The temperature near the heater must not

exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than

this (for example in the case of painting in

an oven) could damage the components of

the electronic circuits.

To avoid any risk of poisoning or

Coolant circuit heater

asphyxiation, the heater must not be used,

even for short periods, in an enclosed space

such as a garage or workshop which is not

fitted with an exhaust gas extraction system.

This is an additional and separate system

which heats the Diesel engine cooling

system to make starting easier.

It improves the demisting and defrosting

performance.

The heater is supplied by the vehicle's fuel

tank. Ensure that the low fuel warning lamp

is not on.

Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable

surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…),

there is a risk of fire.

Vehicles fitted with an HDi engine may be

fitted with a heater. When the engine is at

idle or the vehicle is stationary, it is normal

to notice a high-pitched whistling noise and

a slight emission of smoke and odour.

12 volt socket

Load retainer

Ladder type vertical separation or

partition

This operates with the ignition on.

Maximum power: 120 W.

On the floor, behind the front seats, a

horizontal partition protects the driver and

front passengers against the risk of load

movement.

Behind the driver's seat, a ladder type

vertical separation or partition protects the

driver against the risk of load movement.

Panel or glazed separation partitions permit

separation of the load space from the cab.

Rear suspension

irrespective of the weight of the load, within

the limit of the authorised values. On board,

the increasing or lightening of the load on the

vehicle's platform is detected by two height

sensors. When all of the doors are closed,

the sensors trigger the automatic height

correction and determine the optimum height

of the sill for the vehicle's driving conditions.

Deactivation of automatic height correction

The control which permits deactivation of

automatic regulation is located on the right-

hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.

With the vehicle stationary:

-

press and hold,

release the control.

Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which

is on. It remains on for approximately

30 seconds.

Two functions

You must deactivate automatic height

correction manually in the following

situations:

1. Automatic height

correction

2. Manual height

-

when working underneath the vehicle,

when changing a wheel,

correction

Two types of suspension are available.

1 - Automatic correction of the

height of the rear sill

when the vehicle is being transported by

lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...

Metal suspension

The pneumatic suspension automatically

regulates the variations in the height of the

rear platform of your vehicle.

Return to automatic correction

This equipment adopts long movement limiters

which make it possible to guarantee stable

behaviour both when loaded and when empty.

No action on your part is required except to

ensure that maintenance is carried out and that

the authorised loads are complied with.

With the vehicle stationary:

-

press and hold,

A red warning light on your

instrument panel ﬂashes if the

height is not at its optimum level

and requires correction, drive slowly

until this warning lamp goes off.

release the control.

Return to automatic height correction is

confirmed by the LED which goes off.

The automatic height correction is

temporarily inactive:

Rear suspension with pneumatic

height correction

According to the configurations, a beep may

be heard during these operations.

-

if a door / the tailgate is open,

If ﬁtted on your vehicle, this type of

suspension regulates the variations in the

height of the rear platform of your vehicle

when braking or when stopped at a red

traffic signal (brake pedal pressed).

Rear suspension

Carry out these operations with the vehicle

still stationary and:

Malfunctions

If the load sill is not adjusted when the

control is pressed, "3 beeps" indicate a

malfunction for the following reasons:

-

with the front and side doors closed,

with the parking brake applied,

-

foot on the brake pedal with the key in

the ignition,

do not leave your foot on the brake

pedal.

-

excessive use of the manual correction,

First use

low battery charge,

other.

To initialise the function, press the control

for approximately 2 seconds.

If the audible signal persists, contact a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Lower: downwards adjustment

of the platform sill

Press the control downwards

continuously.

"3 beeps" indicate that you have reached

the maximum limit, the movement stops

automatically.

2 - Manual correction of the height

of the rear sill

Raise: upwards adjustment of

the platform sill

Press the control upwards

continuously.

If your vehicle is fitted with this adjustment,

the control is located on the right-hand side

at the rear of the vehicle.

Release the button to stop the movement,

"3 beeps" indicate that you have reached

the maximum limit, the movement stops

automatically.

This manual adjustment permits "lowering"

or "raising" of the height of the sill of the rear

platform to facilitate operations in a parking

area.

Return to the optimum sill height

This adjustment of the height of the sill is

restricted by a lower limit and an upper limit.

Press the control up or down twice in

succession, the opposite of the position of

the load sill.

Rear suspension

Deactivation of manual height correction

Long term parking

Good practice

With the vehicle stationary:

Avoid parking for a long duration on ground

which could present a potential obstacle as

your vehicle could lower.

When stationary and with the ignition key

removed, excessive use of the system

consumes battery power.

-

press and hold,

release the control.

Following a long period out of use, the

height of the platform may change due to the

automatic height correction on unlocking or

on opening one of your vehicle's doors.

Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which

is on. It remains on for approximately

30 seconds.

Driving with the height of the rear platform:

-

too low, risks damaging the technical

components underneath the vehicle,

Return to manual height correction

-

too high, risks unstable driving.

With the vehicle stationary:

Warning lamp

-

press and hold,

Refer to the "Instruments and controls"

section of chapter 2.

If you start and the warning lamp flashes, to

switch it off:

release the control.

Return to manual correction is confirmed by

the LED which goes off.

-

correct the position of the manual

control which is still at the lower or

upper limit,

According to the configuration, a beep may

be heard during these operations.

-

or drive slowly at above 6 mph (10 km/h),

until height correction returns to automatic

mode.

You must deactivate the manual height

correction in the following situations:

-

when working underneath the vehicle,

when changing a wheel,

when the vehicle is being transported by

lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
