Air conditioning

To ensure that your system operates
correctly, it is recommended that you
have it checked regularly.
Water arising from condensation
in the air conditioning drains away
through a hole provided for this pur-
pose. A pool of water may thus form
under the vehicle when stationary.
To preserve the sealing of the air
conditioning compressor, operate
the air conditioning at least once a
month.
Regardless of the season, the air
conditioning is useful, since it re-
moves humidity and condensation.
To be effective, the air conditioning
should only be used with the win-
dows closed.
If after a lengthy stop in bright sunlight
the interior temperature is excessive,
air the passenger compartment by
opening the windows for a few mo-
ments, then close them again.
The air conditioning operates by
using power from the engine. This
results in a slight increase in fuel
consumption.


Dust filter/Odour filter (active
carbon)
There is a fi lter for excluding odours
and dust.
This fi lter has to be changed in ac-
cordance with the vehicle's servicing
schedule (see the servicing booklet).


Air circulation

Air vents on the fl oor underneath the
front seats provide enhanced heat-
ing for the rear seat positions; take
care not to obstruct them.


Air vents

The air vents to the face have grilles
and thumb wheels to adjust the air
fl ow and direction (up-down, right-
left).
The automatic regulation of the air
conditioning in the passenger com-
partment uses a number of sensors
(sunshine sensor, ambient tempera-
ture sensor...) that relieve you of the
need to make frequent adjustments to
the displayed temperature.
Take care not to obstruct the sun-
shine sensor, located on the dash-
board behind the instrument panel.

SECOND ROW REAR SEATS(GRAND C4 PICASSO)
Each seat can be folded onto the
fl oor to form a fl at surface, thus en-
abling you to adapt your vehicle’s
interior space.

Folding a seat


From the outside


)
Pull fi rmly upwards on strap C
,
as indicated by the red arrow, to
unlock the seat; keep pulling until
the seat is fully folded.
Push the seat backrest gently
forwards so that the backrest
folds onto the seat cushion. The
assembly lowers onto the fl oor.


From the boot (when loading, for
example)
You can fold the second-row seat(s)
from the boot, having fi rst folded the
third-row seats.


)
Pull on the strap D
to unlock the
chosen seat, push the backrest
gently forwards.
To prevent any damage to the
mechanism, the strap D
unclips
under excessive force. Simply
clip it back in place to render the
system operational.



Repositioning a seat



)
Return the second-row seat rigid
panels to their initial position and
lock them in position.

)

Raise the backrest and push it
rearwards until it locks in position.


Before moving the third-row seats,
return the second-row rigid pan-
els to their initial position and lock
them in place.
Never allow children to operate the
seats without supervision.


Rigid panel

Each second-row seat backrest has
a rigid panel attached.
This panel enables you:


- to have a continuous load sur-
face in the boot, whatever the
positions of the seats,

- to avoid having objects sliding
under the second-row seats.


Unlocking/Locking the rigid
panel


)
Slide the latch 1
on the panel
downwards, to unlock.

)
Return the panel to the upright
position, then slide the latch 1

upwards, to lock.
Before positioning the rigid panels,
check that the second-row seats are
in the fully back position.
5-seater confi gurations do not have
these rigid panels.

ACCESS














Lost keys

Visit a CITROËN dealer with the ve-
hicle's registration document, your
personal identifi cation documents
and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to
fi nd the key code and the transpon-
der code required to order a new
key.


Remote control

The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a
possibility that it may unlock the ve-
hicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons
of your remote control out of range
and out of sight of your vehicle. You
run the risk of stopping it from work-
ing and the remote control would
have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate
when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched
off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may
make access to the passenger com-
partment by the emergency services
more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children
on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the
vehicle, even for a short time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to
the electronic engine immobiliser
system; this could cause malfunc-
tions.


When purchasing a second-
hand vehicle
Have the pairing of all of the keys
in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that
only your keys can be used to open
and start the vehicle.







Do not throw the remote
control batteries away, they
contain metals which are
harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

LOCATIONS FOR CHILD SEATS SECURED WITH THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT

In conformity with European law, this table tells you to what extent each of the seat positions in your vehicle may take a
child seat that is secured with the vehicle seat belt and approved as Universal (a), according to the weight of the child and
the position in the vehicle.
(a) Universal child seat: child seat which can be installed in all vehicles by means of the seat belt.
(b) Group 0: from birth to 10 kg. Shell seats and "car cots" cannot be installed on the front passenger seat.
(c) Consult the legislation in force in your country before installing your child on this seat.

U
: seat position suitable for the installation (in conjunction with the vehicle seat belt) of a universal rearwards-facing and/or
forwards-facing child seat.

For seats in groups 1, 2 and 3, check that the child seat is correctly secured on the backrest of the vehicle seat. If
necessary, remove and stow the head restraint.
To install a voluminous child seat in the 2nd or 3rd row, move the rear seat fully back so as to avoid interference with the
front seat.

CHILD SAFETY

ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS


Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoul-
der without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the
seat belt passes correctly over the
child's thighs.
CITROËN recommends the use of
a booster seat which has a back,
fi tted with a seat belt guide at
shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear win-
dows by more than one third.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, fi t side blinds on the
rear windows.
The incorrect installation of a child
seat in a vehicle compromises the
child's protection in the event of an
accident.
When installing a child seat using the
seat belt, check that the seat belt is
tightened correctly on the child seat
and that it secures the child seat
fi rmly on the seat of your vehicle.

Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack
in relation to the child's body to
a minimum, even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "for-
wards-facing" child seat, ensure
that the back of the child seat is in
contact with the back of the vehicle's
seat and that the head restraint does
not cause any discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be re-
moved, ensure that it is stored or
attached securely to prevent it from
being thrown around the vehicle in
the event of sharp braking. Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the "forwards-facing"
position on the front passenger seat,
unless the rear seats are already oc-
cupied by other children, cannot be
used or are absent.
Deactivate the passenger airbag *
when a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk be-
ing seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were to infl ate.
