On the floor, behind the front seats, a vertical 

partition protects the driver and front passengers 

against the risk of load movement.

Steel or glazed partitions separate the loading 

area from the cab.

When washing your vehicle, never clean 

the inside directly using a water jet.

Stowing rings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to secure 

loads.

As a safety precaution in case of sharp braking, 

we recommend placing heavy objects as far 

forwards as possible (i.e. near the cab).

We recommend using the stowing rings on the 

floor to firmly secure the load.

When washing your vehicle, never clean 

the inside directly using a water jet.

Warning triangle

 

 

As a safety precaution, before leaving your 

vehicle to set up and install the triangle, always 

switch on the hazard warning lamps and put on 

your high visibility vest.

Storage compartment

 

 

There is a compartment in the interior trim of the 

boot in which to store a warning triangle.

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.

68

Ease of use and comfort

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.

The load must be evenly distributed in 

the loading area so as not to interfere 

with driving the vehicle.

Place the load close to the side wall panels, 

or push it against the side wall 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 projected. 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.

To prevent the load from sliding, there must 

not be any empty spaces between the load 

items and the vehicle wall panels.

As well as the straps, optimise the stability 

of the load with stable handling equipment 

(wedges, rigid blocks of wood or padding).

When washing the vehicle, never clean 

the interior directly with a water jet.

For the Extenso Cab and the 

Crew cab

Do not place sharp or pointed objects in 

the protective cover to avoid damaging it.

The upper stops may be adjusted if:

–  excessive force is needed to operate 

the upper latches 

A

 and 

B

.

–  there is noise while driving, caused by 

excessive play.

When the partition is locked behind the 

row 2 or row 1 seats, an engagement 

noise tells you that the upper and lower 

latches are closed.

Never drive with the partition unlocked. 

The partition must not be moved with the 

latches extended - risk of scratches or 

damage to the plastic trims!

The partition must never be removed to 

convert the vehicle from a commercial 

vehicle to a passenger vehicle.

This would pose a risk to the safety of users 

due to the absence of a child lock on the 

tailgate (mandatory on passenger vehicles).

Pay attention to the loading height 

behind the partition and the size of the 

long load in the protective cover: the driver 

must keep a good field of vision.

Do not place loads between the partition 

and the bench seat backrest.

Heating and Ventilation

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.

Heating

This is an additional and separate system which 

heats the passenger compartment and improves 

defrosting performance.

This indicator lamp is lit while the system 

is programmed or set in operation 

remotely via the remote control.

It flashes during the whole duration of the 

heating and goes off at the end of the heating 

cycle or when stopped using the remote control.

Ventilation

This system allows ventilation of the passenger 

compartment with exterior air to improve the 

temperature experienced on entering the vehicle 

in summer.

Ease of use and comfort

Depending on the outside temperature, a 

certain amount of pre-conditioning time is 

necessary in order to reach the programmed 

temperature by the stored activation time.

This pre-conditioning time lasts up to 45 min. 

with a Diesel engine and up to 30 min. with a 

petrol engine.

Long range remote control

(Depending on version.)

This enables you to switch the heating in 

the passenger compartment on or off from a 

distance.

The remote control has a range of about 0.6 

miles (1 km) in open country.

 

 

On

►  Pressing and holding this button starts 

the heating immediately (confirmed by the 

green indicator lamp coming on briefly).

Off

►  Pressing and holding this button stops 

the heating immediately (confirmed by the 

red indicator lamp coming on briefly).

The indicator lamp in the remote control 

flashes for about 2 seconds if the vehicle 

has not received the signal, in which case

you should move to a different location and 

repeat the command.

Changing the battery

The indicator lamp in the remote control will 

change to orange if the battery charge is low.

If the indicator lamp is not on, the battery is 

discharged.

 

 

►  Use a coin to unscrew the cap and replace 

the battery.

If the system is switched on using the 

long-range remote control, the maximum 

heating duration is around 45 min. with a 

Diesel engine, and around 30 min. with a 

petrol engine.

The ventilation is activated provided that 

the battery is sufficiently charged. 

The heating is activated provided that: 

–  the battery charge and the fuel level are 

sufficient,

–  the engine has been started since the 

previous heating cycle,

–  60 minutes have elapsed between two 

heating requests.

Programmable heating is supplied by the 

vehicle fuel tank. Before use, make sure 

that you have sufficient fuel. If the fuel tank is 

on reserve, you are strongly recommended 

not to programme the heating.

The additional heating must always be 

switched off while refuelling to avoid any risk 

of fire or explosion.

To avoid the risk of poisoning or 

asphyxia, the programmable heating 

must not be used, even for short periods, in a 

closed environment such as a garage or

workshop which is not equipped with an 

exhaust gas extraction system.

Do not park the vehicle on a flammable 

surface (dry grass, dead leaves, paper, etc.) 

- Risk of fire!

Glazed surfaces such as the rear screen 

or windscreen can become very hot in 

places.

Never put objects on these surfaces; never 

touch these surfaces - Risk of burns!

Do not throw remote control batteries 

away, as they contain metals that are 

harmful to the environment. Take them to an 

approved disposal point.

Temperature conditioning 

(Electric)

This function allows you to programme the 

temperature in the passenger compartment to 

reach a pre-defined, non-modifiable temperature 

(approx. 21°C) before you enter the vehicle, on 

the days and at the times of your choice.

This function is available when the vehicle is 

connected or not connected.

Programming

Programming can be carried out from a 

smartphone using the 

MyCitroën App

 

application.

The temperature pre-conditioning sequence 

begins approximately 45 minutes before the 

programmed time when the vehicle is connected 

(20 minutes when it is not connected) and is 

maintained for 10 minutes after.

You can set multiple programmes.

Each one is saved in the system.

To optimise the driving range, we recommend 

starting a programme while the vehicle is 

connected.

The fan noise that occurs during 

temperature pre-conditioning is perfectly 

normal.

Operating conditions

–  The function is only activated when the 

ignition is switched off

 and the 

vehicle 

locked

.

–  When the vehicle is not connected, the 

function is only activated if the battery charge 

level is greater than 50%.

–  When the vehicle is not connected and a 

recurring programme is active (e.g. from Monday 

to Friday), if two temperature pre-conditioning 

sequences are run without the vehicle being 

used, the programme will be deactivated.

Courtesy lamp

Automatic switching on/off

The front courtesy lamp comes on when the key 

is removed from the ignition switch.

All courtesy lamps come on when the vehicle is 

unlocked, when one of the corresponding doors 

is opened and when locating the vehicle using 

the remote control. 

They fade to off after the ignition is switched on 

and when the vehicle is locked.

Take care not to allow objects to come 

into contact with the courtesy lamp.
