At any point, it is possible to interrupt the
operation of the tailgate:Repeated opening and closing of the
motorised tailgate can cause overheating
of its electric motor, after which opening
and closing will not be possible.
Allow the motor to cool down for ten
minutes before operating the tailgate
again.
If you are unable to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
If an obstacle (person or object) is
encountered, the anti-pinch system stops the
closing movement and raises the tailgate by
a
few centimetres to clear the obstacle.
Memorising an opening
position
To cancel the memorised position:
- s top the tailgate in an intermediate position,
-

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
Motorised closing
There are two options:
F
P ress and release the exterior control B .
or
The motorised tailgate has a safety anti-
p inch feature which interrupts the closing
movement if there is something in the way.
F Press button C and release it.
-
b
y pressing one of these
two buttons,
or
-

b
y pressing the exterior
control B .
After a
movement is interrupted, pressing
one of the controls again restarts the
movement, unless you press the remote
control button, which only controls
opening. Where height is restricted (garage with a
low
ceiling, etc.) it is possible to limit the 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
of the tailgate is confirmed by an audible signal. The motorised tailgate can be opened and
closed manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual operation must be done
with the tailgate first stopped.
During manual operations to open or close
the motorised tailgate, you will no longer be
assisted by the struts. Resistance to opening
and closing is therefore entirely normal.
Reinitialising the motorised
tailgate
This operation is necessary where there is no
movement – after detection of an obstacle,
reconnecting or recharging the battery, etc.
F

O
pen the tailgate manually, if necessary.
F

F
ully close the tailgate manually.
If the problem persists, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or qualified workshop.

Front seatsBefore moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is nothing that might
prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats
or jamming the seat if large objects are
placed on the floor behind the seat.
Manual adjustments
Longitudinal
F Raise the control and slide the seat forwards or backwards.
When your seat is at the correct distance, move
it for wards and backwards slightly without
using the control bar to ensure the seat is
properly locked. F

P
ull the control upwards to raise or push
it downwards to lower, as many times as
necessary to obtain the position required.
Driver seat backrest angle
F Turn the knob to adjust the backrest.
Correct driving position
For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Before taking to the road and to make the most of the
ergonomic layout of the instruments and controls,
carry out these adjustments in the following order:
-

t
he height of the head restraint,
-

t
he seat backrest angle,
-
t

he seat cushion height,
-

t
he longitudinal position of the seat,
-
t

he height and reach of the steering wheel,
-

t
he rear view mirror and door mirrors.
Once these adjustments have been made,
check that the instrument panel can be
viewed correctly from your driving position.

In order to easily adapt your interior
space, you can fold all of the rear seats
individually and fold them onto the second
row floor, and beneath the floor on the
third row. This gives you a continuous load
floor up to the back of the front seats.
Folding or unfolding the seats must only
be done with the vehicle stationary.

To reactivate the system, flash the headlamps
again.The system may suffer inter ference or not
work correctly:
-

u
nder poor visibility conditions (snow,
heavy rain, etc.),
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty, misted or
obscured (by a
sticker, etc.) in front of
the camera,
-

i
f the vehicle is facing highly reflective
signs.
When the system detects thick fog, it
temporarily deactivates the function.
The system is not able to detect:
-

r
oad users that do not have their own
lighting, such as pedestrians,
-

v
ehicles whose lighting is obscured
(for example: vehicles running behind
a
safety barrier on a motor way),
-

v
ehicles at the top or bottom of
a
steep slope, on winding roads, on
crossroads. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the camera.
The internal sur face of the windscreen can
also become misted around the camera.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on the
bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this could
conceal the detection camera.
Clean the front bumper, especially around
the radar, removing mud, snow, etc.
Headlamp adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other road
u sers, the headlamp beams should be adjusted
for height according to the vehicle's load.

3. 5 people + maximum authorised load in
the boot.
The initial setting is position 0 .
Cornering lighting
If your vehicle is equipped with it, this system
makes use of the beam from a
front foglamp
to illuminate the inside of a
bend, when the
main or dipped beam headlamps are on and
the vehicle speed is below 25
mph (40 km/h)
(urban driving, winding road, junctions, parking
manoeuvres, etc.).

Headlamp washFront screenwash and
headlamp wash
Screenwash and washer jets
The headlamp washers operate while the
vehicle is moving and the dipped beams are
on. However, to reduce the consumption of
the screenwash fluid, the headlamp washers
only operate with every seventh use of the
screenwash or every 25
miles (40 km) during
a


given journey.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position allows you to
release the front windscreen wiper blades in
order to clean their rubber inserts or to replace
the blades. It can also be useful in winter to
release the wiper blades from the windscreen. F

I
n the minute following ignition switch-off,
any operation of the wiper control stalk will
position the wiper blades vertically.
When the system is no longer powered, at least
one minute after the ignition is switched off, it is
possible to move the arms manually.
F
T
o park the wiper blades again, gently fold
the arms onto the windscreen, switch on the
ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wiper
blades, it is advisable to:
-
h
andle them with care,
-
c
lean them regularly using soapy
water,
-
a
void using them to retain cardboard
on the windscreen,
-
r
eplace them at the first signs of wear.
The arms must only be replaced by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The front screenwash includes a

washer jet
height adjustment device.
If you wish to change the factory setting, turn
the screw of each washer jet anticlockwise,
towards the "+" to raise the jet or clockwise,
towards the "-", to lower it.

Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic
p retensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a
front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, thus
improving their protection.
