As a safety measure in the event of 
sudden braking, it is recommended that 
heavy objects are placed on the floor as 
close as possible to the backrest of the 
seat(s) or bench seat.
Load space cover
F To remove it, raise it.
F T o install it, insert the guides into their 
housings.
When sharp deceleration occurs, objects 
placed on the load space cover can turn 
into projectiles.
Loading area fittings
Stowing rings
As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking, 
you are advised to place heavy objects as far 
for wards towards the cab as possible.
It is recommended that the load be secured 
firmly using the stowing rings on the floor.
Load restraint
On the floor, behind the front seats, a 
vertical partition protects the driver and front 
passengers against the risk of load movement.
Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to 
secure your loads.

Recommendations on 
loading
The weight of the load must comply with 
the Gross Train Weight (GTW).
For more information on Engine 
technical data and towed loads, refer to 
the corresponding section.
If you are using a carrying system (roof 
bars/roof rack), comply with the maximum 
loads associated with this system.
For more information on Roof bars/Roof 
rack , refer to the corresponding section.
Make sure that the size, shape and 
volume of the loads carried are compatible 
with the highway code and safety 
regulations and do not impair the driver’s 
field of vision.
Steel or glass partitions separate the loading 
area from the cab.
The load must be evenly distributed in the 
loading area so as not to inter fere with 
driving the vehicle.
Place the load close to the side panels, 
or even push it against the side panels 
between the wheel arches.
However, it is recommended that heavy 
objects are placed as close to the cab as 
possible as a precaution in case of sharp 
braking.
Firmly secure all parts of the load using 
the stowing rings on the floor of the 
loading area.
For more information on the Interior 
fittings
and in particular on the stowing 
rings, refer to the corresponding section. To avoid the risk of injury or accident, the 
load must be made stable so that it cannot 
slide, tip over, fall or be thrown. To do this, 
use only retaining straps that conform to 
current standards (DIN for example).
For more information on putting straps 
in place, refer to the manufacturer’s user 
guide.
There must not be any empty space 
between the components of the load.
To prevent the load sliding, there must not 
be any empty space between the load and 
the panels of the vehicle.
As well as the straps, optimise the stability 
of the load with stable handling equipment 
(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).
When washing your vehicle, never clean 
the inside directly using a water jet.

Retractable sliding table
Shine, Business Lounge
It comprises a closed central storage space 
with a lid. Unfolded, it provides a table with 
two tops on which objects can be placed. The 
central area includes two cup holders and can 
also be used to place small objects (credit card, 
pen, etc.).
The assembly is mounted on a runner allowing 
it to be positioned either in row 2 or row 3.
Storage
F Slide back the cover for access to 11   litres 
of storage space.
The storage space can only support a 
maximum weight of 3
  kg   ; do not exceed 
this maximum load in use.

event of an accident or sudden braking.
F
 
R
 elease the control until the guide latches 
in the runner. Be careful of passengers' feet when 
manoeuvring the assembly.
Storage off the runner
If removing and storing the table out of 
the vehicle, ensure that it is placed in a 
clean area, so as to avoid introducing any 
foreign bodies into the mechanisms.
The table must be placed outside the 
vehicle on a flat and level sur face, resting 
on the guide so as not to damage visible 
parts.
Incorrect use of the table could cause 
serious injury.
Never use the table in the open or 
unfolded position while the vehicle is 
in motion. Any object on the table will 
become a dangerous projectile in the 
event of sudden braking.
Ensure that the table is correctly stowed in 
the low position before moving off.
Never use the table tops as seats or lean 
on them.
A label affixed to the side of the table 
gives a reminder of this.
Caution, when out of the 
vehicle, the table leans to 
the right or left when put 
down. Never place hot objects such as 
saucepans or frying pans on the table, as 
you risk damaging its surface (risk of fire).
With the table deployed, each top can 
bear a maximum load of 10
  kg. If you 
do not obser ve this load limit, you risk 
damaging a part of or the whole table.
Never raise the table when it is between 
individual seats
 
; this risks damaging the 
table tops.

To move the table or an individual seat 
for wards or backwards, make sure that 
the seat's backrest is upright and the table 
is stowed.When stowing the table tops, never put 
your hand in the sliding area, you may 
get your fingers trapped. Use the handle 
provided.
Heating and Ventilation
Advice
Using the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
F  
T
 o ensure that the 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.
F
 
D
 o not cover the sunshine sensor, 
located on the dashboard
  ; this is 
used for regulation of the automatic air 
conditioning system.
F
 
O
 perate the air conditioning system for 
at least 5 to 10
  minutes once or twice 
a month to keep it in per fect working 
o r d e r.
F
 
I
 f the system does not produce cold air, 
switch it off and contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a 
steep gradient in high temperatures, 
switching off the air conditioning increases 
the available engine power and so 
improves the towing ability. Avoid driving for too long with the 
ventilation off or with prolonged operation 
of the recirculation of interior air - 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.
The condensation created by the air 
conditioning results in a discharge of 
water under the vehicle which is per fectly 
normal.

Servicing the ventilation and air 
conditioning system
F 
E
 nsure that the cabin filter is in good 
condition and have the filter elements 
replaced regularly.
It is recommend to use a combined 
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to 
its special active additive, it contributes 
to the purification of the air breathed by 
the occupants and the cleanliness of the 
passenger compartment (reduction of 
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy 
deposits).
F
 
T
 o ensure correct operation of the air 
conditioning system, have it checked 
according to the recommendations in 
the Maintenance and Warranty Guide. Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems 
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop & 
Start system to maintain a comfortable 
temperature in the passenger 
compartment.
