Citroen C3: Ease of use and comfort / Correct driving position
For safety reasons,
adjustments must
only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before taking to the road and to make the most
of the ergonomic layout of the instruments and
controls, carry out these adjustments in the
following order:
- head restraint height.
- seat backrest angle.
- seat cushion height.
- longitudinal seat position.
- steering wheel height.
- rear view mirror and door mirrors.

Once these adjustments
have been
made, check that the instrument panel
can be viewed correctly from your driving
position.
Height adjustment

- Upward: pull the head restraint up to the
desired position; the head restraint can be felt to
click into position.
- Downward: press lug A to lower the head
restraint.
The
adjustment is correct when the
upper edge of the head restraint is level
with the top of the head.
Removing a head restraint
- Pull the head restraint fully up.
- Press lug A to release the head restraint and
raise it fully.
- Stow the head restraint securely.
Refitting a head restraint
- Insert the head restraint rods into the guides
in the corresponding seat backrest.
- Push the head restraint down as far as it will
go.
- Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and push it down.
- Adjust the height of the head restraint.
Never drive with the head
restraints
removed; they should be in place and
adjusted for the occupant of the seat.
For safety reasons, seat
adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before moving the seat
backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat...
Other information:
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by
connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery booster...

Load distribution
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance...
