Ease of use and comfort
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is nothing that might
prevent the full travel of the seat.
When the front passenger seat is fully folded,
only the outer rear seat behind the driver can
be occupied by a passenger.
Do not place hard, heavy or sharp
objects in the centre of the backrest to
ensure that you don't damage rear lining
behind the backrest.
When sharp deceleration occurs, objects
placed on the folded backrest can turn into
dangerous projectiles.
Heated seats
The function is active only with the engine
running and when the outside temperature is
below 20°C.
► Use the adjustment knob to switch on and
select the level of heating required:
0 : Off.
1 : Low
.
2 : Medium.
3 : High.
The front seats can be heated individually.
Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electrical
consumption in turn decreases energy
consumption.
Prolonged use of heated seats is not
recommended for people with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (e.g.
illness,
taking medication).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–
Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the
seat.
–
Do not kneel or stand on the seat.
–
Do not spill liquids onto the seat.
–
Never use the heating function if the seat
is damp.
Rear seats
Bench seat with a fixed cushion or on rails
(depending on version) and split folding
backrests (2/3-1/3) to adapt the boot loading
space.
Rear head restraints
They have two positions:
– A high position , for when the seat is in use:
►
Pull the head restraint fully up.
–
A low position , for stowing, when the seat is
not in use: ►
Press the lug
A to release the head
restraint and push it down.
The rear head restraints can be removed.

Advice
Using the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►
T
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
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 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.
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. Its specific active additive
helps protect against polluting gases and bad
smells.
►
T
o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, have it checked
according to the recommendations in the
Manufacturer’s service schedule.
Stop & Start
The heating and air conditioning systems
only operate when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
For more information on the Stop &
Start
system, refer to the corresponding
section.
