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  
d

egrees,   to   allow   the   obstacle   to   be   cleared.
Note
  that   this   anti-pinch   system   does   not  
o

perate   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

of
 
t

he

If
  a   bicycle   carrier   is   fitted   to   a   towbar   with   a  
w

iring   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  
m

otorised   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  
c

onfirmed   by   an   audible   signal.
Manual operation
The motorised tailgate can be opened and closed   manually,   even   if   motorised   operation   is  
a

ctivated.
However,
  any   manual   intervention   must   be  
d

one   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
 
d

own
 
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 e ncountered,   the   anti-pinch   system   interrupts  
t

he   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.

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

assenger
 c
ompartment.
