Motorised tailgate
General points
Never place a finger in the locking mechanism   of   the   motorised   tailgate   -  
R

isk   of   serious   injury!
Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate includes a system for   detecting   obstacles,   which   automatically  
i

nterrupts and reverses the movement by a few
degrees,
  to   allow   the   obstacle   to   be   cleared.
Note that this anti-pinch system does not
operate
  at   the   end   of   the   closing   movement  
(

around   1   cm   before   complete   closure).
The
 
motorised
 
operation
 
of
 
the
 
tailgate
 
can
 b
e
 
activated
 
or
 
deactivated
 
by
 
selecting
 "
M
otorised tailgate " in the Driving menu of
the
 
touch
 
screen
 
tablet.
Bicycle carrier / Towbar
The tailgate is not designed to be fitted with a b icycle   carrier.
If a bicycle carrier is fitted to a towbar with a
wiring
  harness   connected   to   a   towbar   socket,  
t

he   motorised   operation   of   the   tailgate   is  
a

utomatically
 d
eactivated.
If
  using   a   towbar   or   bicycle   carrier   not   approved  
b

y CITROËN, it is essential to deactivate the
motorised
  operation   of   the   tailgate.

Memorising an
opening position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low c
eiling,   ...)   it   is   possible   to   limit   and   memorise  
t

he   opening   angle   of   the   motorised   tailgate.
This
  memorisation   is   done   as   follows:
-
 
o
pen   the   tailgate   to   the   desired   position,
-

p
ress button C   or   the   exterior   control   B for
more
  than   3   seconds.
Memorisation
  of   the   maximum   opening   position  
o

f   the   tailgate   is   confirmed   by   an   audible   signal.
To
  cancel   the   memorised   position:
-
 
s
top   the   tailgate   in   an   intermediate  
p

osition,
-

p
ress button C   or   the   exterior   control   B for
more
  than   3   seconds.
Cancellation of the memorised position is
confirmed
  by   an   audible   signal.
Manual operation
The motorised tailgate can be opened and closed manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual intervention must be
done
  with   the   tailgate   stopped.
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
down
 
before
 
operating
 
the
 
tailgate
 
ag

ain.
If you are not able to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
Should an obstacle (person or object) be en countered, the anti-pinch system interrupts
the
  closing   movement   and   raises   the   tailgate   a  
f

ew   centimetres   to   clear   the   obstacle. When
  opening   and   closing   a   motorised   tailgate  
m

anually,   there   is   no   assistance   from   gas-filled  
s

truts.   Resistance   to   opening   and   closing   is  
t

herefore   entirely   normal.

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
When washing the vehicle in an automatic   car   wash,   don't   forget   to

360 Vision
This system provides a view in the instrument
panel  of   the   near   surroundings   of   your   vehicle,  
u

sing   cameras   mounted   at   the   front   and   rear   of  
y

our   vehicle   and   under   the   door   mirrors.

i

n   particular   driving   conditions   such   as   when  
e

ntering   a   blind   junction   or   manoeuvring   in  
a

reas   of   reduced   visibility.
Once activated, this function operates up to
9 mph
  (15   km/h).   Above   18   mph   (30   km/h),   the  
f

unction   is   deactivated   automatically. This system is a visual aid which in no
circumstances can replace the need for
vigilance
  on   the   part   of   the   driver.
The   images   provided   by   the   cameras  
m

ay   be   deformed   by   the   relief.   The  
p

resence of areas in shade, in sunny
conditions,   or   of   low   ambient   light   may
