Manual operation
When opening and closing a motorised tailgate manually,   there   is   no   assistance   from   gas-filled  
s

truts.   Resistance   to   opening   and   closing   is  
t

herefore   entirely   normal.
Reinitialising the tailgate
This operation is necessary where there is no
movement  -   after   detection   of   an   obstacle,   after  
c

Locking after closing
If the fault persists after closing again, the boot will   remain   locked.
The
 
motorised
 
tailgate
 
can
 
be
 
opened
 
and
 
c

losed
 
manually,
 
even
 
if
 
motorisation
 
is
 
a

ctivated.
Precautions in use
In the event of an accumulation of snow o
n   the   tailgate,   clear   the   snow   before  
c

ommanding   an   automatic   opening   of  
t

he   tailgate.
The
  formation   of   ice   can   block   the  
t

ailgate   and   prevent   its   opening:   wait  
u

ntil   the   ice   melts   with   the   heating   of  
t

he
 p
assenger
 c
ompartment.
When
  washing   the   vehicle   in   an  
a

utomatic   car   wash,   don't   forget   to  
l

ock   your   vehicle   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
u

nexpected
 ope
ning.
Repeated
  opening   and   closing   of   the  
t

ailgate   can   cause   overheating   of   its  
e

lectric   motor,   after   which   opening   and  
c

losing   will   not   be   possible.
Allow
  10   minutes   for   the   motor   to   cool  
d

own   before   operating   the   tailgate  
ag

ain. System

w

hich   a   CITROËN   dealer   is   able   to  
pro

vide.
Before
  doing   anything   under   the

Maintenance
This system requires a 12 V battery with a special   specification   and   technology   (reference  
n

umbers   available   from   CITROËN   dealers).
Fitting
  a   battery   not   listed   by   CITROËN  
i

ntroduces   the   risk   of   malfunction   of   the  
s

ystem.
For
  charging,   use   a   12   V   charger   and   do   not  
r

everse   the   polarity.

Driving

228
Sit in a normal upright position.
W ear   a   correctly   adjusted   seat   belt.
Do
  not   allow   anything   to   come   between  
t

he   occupants   and   the   airbags   (a   child,   pet,  
o

bject...),   do   not   attach   or   fix   anything   near  
t

o   the   airbags   or   their   trajectories   when  
i

nflating   as   this   could   cause   injuries   when  
t

he   airbags   are   deployed.
Never
  modify   the   original   definition   of   your  
v

ehicle,   particularly   in   the   area   directly  
a

round   the   airbags.
After
  an   accident   or   if   the   vehicle   has   been  
s

tolen   or   broken   into,   have   the   airbag  
s

ystems   checked.
All
  work   on   the   airbag   system   must   be  
c

arried   out   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Even
  if   all   of   the   precautions   mentioned  
a

re   observed,   a   risk   of   injury   or   of   minor  
b

urns   to   the   head,   chest   or   arms   when   an  
a

irbag   is   deployed   cannot   be   ruled   out.   The  
b

ag   inflates   almost   instantly   (within   a   few  
m

illiseconds)   then   deflates   within   the   same  
t

ime   discharging   the   hot   gas   via   openings  
p

rovided   for   this   purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes   or   resting   your   hands   on   the   centre  
p

art   of   the   wheel.
Passengers
  must   not   place   their   feet   on   the  
das

hboard.
Do
  not   smoke   as   deployment   of   the   airbags  
c

an   cause   burns   or   the   risk   of   injury   from   a  
c

igarette   or   pipe.
Never
 

remove
 
or
 
pierce
 
the
 
steering
 
wheel
 
or
 h

it   it   violently.
Do
  not   fit   or   attach   anything   to   the   steering  
w

heel   or   dashboard,   this   could   cause  
i

njuries   with   deployment   of   the   airbags.
Guidelines to follow: Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, compatible   with   the   deployment   the   lateral  
a

irbags.   For   information   on   the   range   of   seat  
c

overs suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact
  a   CITROËN   dealer.
Refer
  to   the   "Accessories"   section.
Do
  not   fix   or   attach   anything   to   the   seat  
b

acks   (clothing...).   This   could   cause   injury  
t

o   the   chest   or   arms   if   the   lateral   airbag   is  
d

eployed.
Do
  not   sit   with   the   upper   part   of   the   body   any  
n

earer   to   the   door   than   necessary.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This could   cause   injury   to   the   head   if   the   curtain  
a

irbag   is   deployed.
If
  fitted   on   your   vehicle,   do   not   remove   the  
g

rab   handles   installed   on   the   roof,   they   play  
a

  part   in   securing   the   curtain   airbags.

Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
T he presence of this label, in particular

 t

he   involvement   of   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o

r   a   qualified   workshop   is   essential  
w

hen   replacing   or   disconnecting   the  
b

attery.
After
  refitting   the   battery,   the   Stop & Start
 s

ystem   will   only   be   active   after   a
 c

ontinuous   period   of   immobilisation   of   the
 v

ehicle,   a   period   which   depends   on   the
 c

limatic   conditions   and   the   state   of   charge
 o

f   the   battery   (up   to   about   8   hours). When
  your   vehicle's   battery   is   discharged,   the  
e

ngine   can   be   started   using   a   slave   battery  
(

external   or   on   another   vehicle)   and   jump   lead  
c

ables.
Starting using another
battery
First check that the slave battery has a nominal   voltage   of   12   V   and   a   capacity  
a

t   least   equal   to   that   of   the   discharged  
b

attery.
Do
  not   try   to   start   the   engine   by  
c

onnecting   a   battery   charger.
Do
  not   disconnect   the   (+)   terminal   when  
t

he   engine   is   running.

Take
  used   remote   control   batteries   and
 v

ehicle   batteries   to   a   special   collection   point.
Protect your eyes and face before handling   the   battery.
All
  operations   on   the   battery   must   be  
c

arried   out   in   a   well   ventilated   area   and  
a

way   from   naked   flames   and   sources  
o

f   sparks,   so   as   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
e

xplosion   or   fire.
Do
  not   try   to   charge   a   frozen   battery;  
t

he   battery   must   first   be   thawed   out   to  
a

void   the   risk   of   explosion.   If   the   battery  
h

as   been   frozen,   before   charging   have  
i

t   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified   workshop   who   will   check   that  
t

he   internal   components   have   not   been  
d

amaged   and   the   casing   is   not   cracked,

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There
 
is   a   difference   in

quality   between   the  
d

ifferent   audio   sources. For
  optimum   sound   quality,   the   audio   settings   for   Volume,   Bass,  
T
