Cancelling the
memorisation
With the tailgate in the intermediate position,
you can cancel the stored position:
F Make a long press on push-button D .
The system emits a long audible beep.
F Release the push-button D . The tailgate
will return to the fully open position at the
next use.
Electrical protection of the
motor
If the tailgate is repeatedly opened and closed
in quick succession, the motor can start to
overheat and then cut out, preventing opening
and closing of the tailgate.
Allow the motor to cool down for ten minutes
without opening or closing the tailgate.
Closing in manual back-up mode remains
possible.
To avoid risk of injury, make sure that
no one is in the vicinity of the boot while
opening and closing.
If the tailgate is carrying extra weight
(snow, bicycle carrier, etc.) there is a
risk of it closing under this load. Support
the tailgate or first unload the bicycle
carrier or clear the snow.
When using an automatic car wash,
don’t forget to lock the vehicle so as to
avoid any risk of motorised opening of
the tailgate.
Memorisation of an
intermediate position
You can store an opening angle for the tailgate:
F Manually or automatically move the tailgate
to the required position.
F Make a long press on push-button D .
The system emits a short audible beep.
F Release the push-button D .
Interrupting the opening /
closing of the tailgate
When the tailgate is being opened or closed
electrically, you can interrupt its movement
at any point by pressing push-button D , the
control A or button B .
You can then open or close the tailgate
electrically or manually, if necessary moving it
in the opposite direction to release it.
Locking/unlocking
With the vehicle stationary, this is carried out
using:
- The remote control.
- The key in a door lock.
- The interior central locking/ unlocking
control.
The boot automatically locks when the vehicle
is moving at a speed of over 6 mph (10 km/h),
even if automatic central locking is deactivated.
It is unlocked when a door is opened or when
the central locking button is pressed (at a
speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h)).

Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children
also depends on you.
General points relating to child seats
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:* The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country. CITROËN recommends
that children
should travel on the rear seats of your
vehicle:
- rearward facing up to the age of 3,
- forward facing over the age of 3.
-
in accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings*,
- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the
rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear.

Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.
The towing eye is installed in the jack box
placed in the spare wheel.
For access to it:
F open the boot,
F raise the floor,
F remove the towing eye from the jack box.
Access to the tools
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road,
- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release
the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing arm available...

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
Driving advice
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITR
oËn towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITR oËn dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.
Distribution of loads
F d istribute 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.
a ir density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
F If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
