Motorised tailgate
General points
Never place a finger in the locking
mechanism of the motorised tailgate -
Risk of serious injury!
Anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate includes a system
for detecting obstacles, which automatically
interrupts 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
be activated or deactivated by selecting
"
Motorised tailgate " in the Driving menu of
the touch screen.
Bicycle carrier / Towbar
The tailgate is not designed to be fitted with a
bicycle carrier.
If a bicycle carrier is fitted to a towbar with a
wiring harness connected to a towbar socket,
the motorised operation of the tailgate is
automatically deactivated.
If using a towbar or bicycle carrier not approved
by CITROËN, it is essential to deactivate the
motorised operation of the tailgate.
Tailgate operation commands must be made
with the vehicle stationary.
Ensure that there is enough free space to allow
the motorised tailgate to open. To avoid the risk of injury through
pinching or trapping, before and during
operation of the tailgate:
-

e

nsure that there is no person close
to the rear of the vehicle,
-
w
atch the behaviour of rear
passengers, particularly children.

Memorising an
opening position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low
ceiling, ...) it is possible to limit and memorise
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.
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
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
tailgate can cause overheating of its
electric motor, after which opening and
closing will not be possible.
Allow 10 minutes for the motor to cool
down before operating the tailgate
again.
If you are not able to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
Should an obstacle (person or object) be
encountered, the anti-pinch system interrupts
the closing movement and raises the tailgate a
few centimetres to clear the obstacle. When opening and closing a motorised tailgate
manually, there is no assistance from gas-filled
struts. Resistance to opening and closing is
therefore entirely normal.
