Ventilation

Good practice

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 autonomous

system which heats the diesel engine hot

coolant loop to make starting easier.

It improves the de-icing and demisting

performance.

The heater is supplied by the vehicle’s fuel

tank. Ensure that the fuel gauge indicator

light is not at reserve.

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.

Ventilation

Have the heater checked at least

once a year at the beginning of winter.

Maintenance and repairs should only be

carried out by a CITROËN dealer. Use

recommended replacement parts only.

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

compensation and determine the optimum

height of the sill for the vehicle’s driving

conditions.

Deactivation of the automatic correction

The control which permits deactivation of the

automatic control 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 diode which is lit. It remains lit for

approximately 30 seconds.

lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...

1 - Automatic correction of the

height of the rear sill

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 light is switched off.

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 bleeps" 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.

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 charge.

-

press and hold,

release the control.

Following a long period out of use, the

height of the platform may change due to the

automatic compensation on unlocking or on

opening one of your vehicle’s doors.

Deactivation is confirmed by

the diode which is lit. It remains lit for

approximately 30 seconds.

Driving with the height of the rear platform:

-

too low, risks damaging the technical

components underneath the vehicle,
