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

for detecting obstacles, which automatically
interrupts and reverses the movement by a few

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,
-
