Motorised tailgate
General points
The motorised tailgate must only be operated
with the vehicle stationary.
Check that there is enough space to allow for
the movement of the motorised tailgate.
Never introduce a
finger in the locking
system of the motorised tailgate – Risk of
a


serious injury!
Safety anti-pinch
The motorised tailgate has an obstacle
detection system that automatically interrupts
and reverses its movement by a few degrees to
allow the obstacle to be cleared.
Please note that this anti-pinch system is not
active at the end of the closing travel (around
1


cm from completely closed).

Ensure that you are steady on your feet
before making the kicking movement
below the rear bumper.
Take care not to touch the exhaust
system, which may be hot – Risk of burns!
"Hands-free " closing
F If your hands are full, with the remote
control on you in the recognition zone A ,
make a
kicking movement with your foot
below the rear bumper.
Flashing of the direction indicator lamps and
a


beeping sound confirm the request.
Making another kicking movement with your
foot below the bumper while the tailgate is
closing interrupts the movement. A third kicking
movement reverses the direction of movement.
Deactivation
By default, hands-free access is activated.
This function can be activated or deactivated
by selecting " Hands-Free Tailgate Access " in
the Driving menu of the touch screen.
Automatic locking
To lock the vehicle when the tailgate closes
using a kicking movement, activate " Hands-
free tailgate access self-locking " in the
Driving menu of the touch screen.
Recommendations related
to the Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function
If several kicking movements to operate the
tailgate have no effect, wait a
few seconds
before trying again.
If it does not work, check that the electronic key
is not exposed to a
source of electromagnetic
interference (e.g. smartphone).
The function may be deactivated or affected if
there is rain or snow.
The function may not work correctly with
a


prosthetic leg. -

into account by the detection system.
Other wise, there is a
risk of malfunction of
the Hands-Free Tailgate Access function.
Ensure that no object or person might
prevent the correct opening or closing of
the tailgate.
Be particularly aware of children when
operating the tailgate.
In some circumstances, the tailgate may open

In order to easily adapt your interior
space, you can fold all of the rear seats
individually and fold them onto the second

Folding or unfolding the seats must only
be done with the vehicle stationary.

interior mirror. This allows you to keep watch
over the passengers in the back of the vehicle
and facilitates discussion between passengers
in the front and the back without needing to
adjust the mirror and without turning around. It
can be easily folded to avoid dazzle.
Ventilation
Air intake
The air circulating in the passenger
compartment is filtered and originates either
from the outside via the grille located at the
base of the windscreen, or from the inside in air
recirculation mode.
Air treatment
The incoming air follows various routes
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:
-
d
irect arrival in the passenger compartment
(air intake),
-
p

assage through a

heating circuit (heating),
-

p
assage through a cooling circuit (air
conditioning).
Control panel
The controls of this system are accessible in the
Air conditioning menu of the touch screen A .
The demisting/defrosting controls for the
windscreen and rear screen are located to the
left of the touch screen.
Air distribution
1. Windscreen demisting/defrosting vents. 2.
Front quarter window demisting/defrosting
vents.
3. Front side window demisting/defrosting
vents.
Adjustable and closable side air vents.
4. Adjustable and closable central air vents.
5. Air outlets to the front footwells.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor in the boot free from
obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used
for regulation of the automatic air
conditioning system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes once or twice
a
month to keep it in per fect working
o r d e r.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We
recommend the use of a
combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of
the passenger compartment (reduction
of allergic symptoms, bad odours and
greasy deposits). If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high,
first air the passenger compartment for
a
few moments.
Put the air flow control at a
setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a
comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you may
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
F

T

o ensure correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide.
F

I

f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a

CITROËN
dealer or a

qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a

steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d

o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-

d

o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.
