If your vehicle is fitted with pneumatic
suspension, you can adjust the height of
the rear of the vehicle to make loading and
unloading easier.
The controls are located alongside the
steering wheel in a MO
d E control panel.
There is a nominal level as well as 6 height
adjustment levels, raising (from +1 to +3)
or lowering (from -1 to -3). The levels are
indicated in the instrument panel screen.
Manual adjustment of the loading
height
raise: upwards adjustment of the load
floor Lower: downwards adjustment of the

load floor
Make a quick press on the
control to select the next level up.
Each press (LED on) raises
the floor by one level:
+1 to +3.
A long press selects the highest level (+3). Make a quick press on the

control to select the next level
down.
Each press (LED on) lowers the
floor by one level: -1 to -3.
A long press selects the lowest level (-3).

HOrn
Press the centre of the steering wheel.
Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the stability
and manoeuvrability of your vehicle when
braking, in particular on poor or slippery
surfaces.
Operation
The anti-lock braking system comes into
operation automatically when there is a risk
of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal accompanied by some noise.
When braking in an emergency
, press
very firmly without releasing the
pressure.
Switching off
These systems cannot be deactivated by
the
driver.

you to obtain optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:

SAFETY

GEnErAL POI nt S O n AI r BAGS
The airbags have been designed to optimise
the safety of the occupants in the event of
a serious collision; they work in conjunction
with the force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, electronic
detectors record and analyse any abrupt
deceleration of the vehicle:
-

in the event of a serious collision, the

airbags are deployed instantly and
contribute towards better protection of
occupants of the vehicle; immediately
after the impact, the airbags rapidly
deflate so as to not hinder visibility or
the possible exit by the occupants,
-

in the event of a less serious impact,

an impact to the rear and in certain
conditions of rollover, the airbags are not deployed; the seat belts alone contribute
towards providing protection in these
situations.
Airbags only operate when the ignition is
switched on.Front airbags
These are fitted in the centre of the steering
wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for
the front passengers. They are deployed,
except the passenger's airbag if it has been
deactivated.
Deployment of the airbags is
accompanied by a slight discharge
of smoke and a noise, resulting from the
activation of the pyrotechnic charge included
in the system.
This smoke is not harmful but may be an
irritant to sensitive persons.
The noise of the detonation may result in a
slight loss of hearing for a short time. Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,
contact a CITROËN dealer to
have the system checked.

Good practice
If your vehicle is fitted with airbags, observe the safety guidelines below for these to be fully effective.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Do not leave anything between the
occupants and the airbags (child, animal,
object...), do not fix or attach anything near
to or in the trajectory of the airbags as this
could cause injuries during deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
All work on the airbag systems must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked. Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel
by its spokes or resting your hands on the
centre part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Smoke as little as possible; deployment of
the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel
or hit it violently.
Lateral airbags
Fit only approved covers on the front seats,
compatible with the deployment of lateral
airbags. For information on the range of
covers suitable for your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not fix or attach anything to the front seat
backs. This could cause injury to the chest
or arms when the lateral airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body
any nearer to the door than necessary.
c

urtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the pillars or
the roof. This could cause injury to the head
when the curtain airbag is deployed.
Do not remove the bolts from the grab
handles installed on the roof, they play a
part in securing the curtain airbags.

cooling systemPower steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MI n and
MA
x marks.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, remove
the protective cover by turning its three
fixing screws a quarter turn, then remove the
second cover fitted to the cap.
topping up
The level must be between the
MI n and
MA x marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5 litres.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, pull on
the telescopic filler pipe and unclip the cap.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
Levels and checks

FuEL SYS t EM cut- OFF
After the collision and before restore
these supplies, check that there is no
fuel leak or sparks, to avoid the risk of fire. In the event of a collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply
from the engine and cuts off the vehicle's
electrical supply
It triggers operation of the hazard warning
lamps and courtesy lamps, and unlocking of
the doors. To restore the fuel supply, press the first
button, located below the steering wheel.
Then to restore the electrical power
supply, press the second button, located
in the battery compartment under the front
passenger's floor (Minibus).
On other versions, the second button is
replaced by a fuse; contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
