Ease of use and comfort

removed; the head restraints should be in 

place and in the high position.

Longitudinal adjustment

Seat operations must only be done with 

the vehicle stationary.

Each seat can be adjusted individually.

 

 

►  Raise the control and slide the seat forwards 

or backwards.

Once the backrest is folded, it is no 

longer possible to slide the seat.

Backrest angle

Several adjustment positions are possible.

 

 

►  Move the seat forward.

►  Pull the strap forward, then tilt the backrest to 

the desired position.

Folding the backrests

Manoeuvring the backrests should only 

be done when the vehicle is stationary.

First steps:

►  Lower the head restraints.

►  If necessary, move the front seats forward.

►  Check that no person or object might interfere 

with the folding of the backrests (e.g. clothing, 

luggage).

►  Check that the outer seat belts are properly 

tensioned along the pillars, the central belt is 

stowed and the tongues of the three belts are 

correctly in the stowed position.

 

 

►  Pull the strap 

1

 firmly to release the backrest.

►  Guide the backrest 

2

 down to the horizontal 

position.

Repositioning the backrests

Before raising the backrest of the outer 

seats to the normal position, remember 

to retrieve the seat belt and hold it during the 

operation.

►  Put the backrest 

2

 in the upright position and 

push it firmly to latch it home.

►  Check that the release strap 

1

 has correctly 

returned to its position.

►  Ensure that the outer seat belts were not 

trapped during the operation.

Please note: an incorrectly latched 

backrest compromises the safety of 

passengers in the event of sudden braking or 

an accident.

The contents of the boot may be thrown 

forwards - risk of serious injury!

Heating and Ventilation

Air intake

The air circulating in the passenger compartment 

is filtered and originates either from the 

exterior, via the grille located at the base of the 

windscreen, or from the inside in air recirculation 

mode.

Controls

The controls are accessible in the 

Climate

 touch 

screen menu and are also grouped together on 

the centre console panel.

Advice

Using the ventilation and air 

conditioning system

►  To 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.

►  To 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.
