Citroen C3: Ease of use and comfort / Rear bench seat
Rear head restraints
They have two positions:
- A high position, for when the seat is in use:
- Pull the head restraint fully up.
- A low position, for stowing, when the seat is
not in use:
- Press the lug A to release the head
restraint and push it down.
The rear head restraints can be removed.
Removing a head restraint
- Release the backrest using control 1.
- Tilt the backrest slightly forwards.
- Pull the head restraint fully up.
- Press the lug A to release the head restraint
and remove it completely.
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.
Never drive with
passengers seated at
the rear when the head restraints are
removed; the head restraints should be in
place and in the high position.
The head restraint for the centre seat
and those for the outer seats are not
interchangeable.
Folding the backrests
Manoeuvring
the seat 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 will interfere
with folding down the backrests (clothing,
luggage, etc.).
- Check that the outer seat belts are lying flat
on the backrests.
- Press the backrest release grip 1.
- Guide backrest 2 down to the horizontal
position.
When
the backrest is released, the red
indicator is visible in the release grip.
Repositioning the backrests
First check that the outer
seat belts are
lying vertically flat alongside the backrest
latching rings.
Ease of use and comfort
- Put the backrest 2 in the upright position and
push it firmly to latch it home.
- Check that the red indicator is no longer
visible in the release grip 1.
- 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
forward - risk of serious injury!
